Human intelligence isn't static, and it's time we stop treating it as if it is. With coaching and practice, people can improve and get faster over time.
A person might struggle because their creative, visionary "right brain" can't form a clear vision of the problem at hand. Often, this is because they can't relate the problem to their own life experiences.
Take me, for example: when I was younger, I couldn’t understand diagrams of a building from a top view. I couldn't grasp the spatial perspectives.
Fast forward 20+ years—after lots of software engineering and drawing experience—I now understand x, y, and z points in space. I get slopes and spatial relationships that used to be a mystery to me.
When I was 13, I failed badly at this. I just couldn't do it.
So what changed? I gained enough life experience to allow my right brain to turn problems into a clear picture of:
What the problem is. Why it's a problem. Different approaches to solve it. Now, my math skills are much sharper and faster compared to my teenage years.
Intelligence is not a fixed trait; it’s dynamic and constantly growing.
Many teachers doubted I would amount to much. I was barely a C student for most of my life. But today, I am much smarter than I was back in high school.
Intelligence is the speed it takes you to understand something. Your intelligence does not increase over the years, rather it gets worse as we age and our brains degenerate. Your IQ was likely HIGHER when you were 13 years old. Intelligence isn't the sum of knowledge that you have acquired over the years, it is your ability to absorb, understand and implement new knowledge. Our neurons die over time and we lose that ability (our speed) as we get older.
Your logic brain is slow because your right brain does not have a visual context of the problem to begin with.
So your logic brain is searching for a random solution that it can’t place.
IQ is useless because it’s a static number.
If means nothing.
