Some people have a better ability to learn or to think critically, but for others it is possible to improve by learning new materials and through experience.

Predicting a person’s intelligence is possible by his ability to solve problems in different kind of fields, such as, math, art science, music.

A difference between an intelligent and a high achieving person is that an intelligent person does not have to apply as much effort into work due to his an ability to learn faster. A person who applies a lot of effort might not achieve as much as an intelligent person because he is only able to apply the knowledge he gained, but not use it to prove or investigate something new.
