>>11493966If you mean your fluid intelligence, then no, it's very unlikely that you will ever change that. There are many definitive studies that show IQ is a stubborn trait and is formed either in early childhood or before birth, largely determined by genetic factors.
If you want to increase your crystallized intelligence then yeah I guess if you study a few subject areas for a long time there's a good chance that you'll be decently competent in them given that you've used your time to become proficient in those areas you dedicated yourself to studying.
Consider this analogy. Let's say that IQ is the ability to learn any musical instrument quickly. You can't change that, but what you can change is the amount of time you dedicate to becoming good at a certain number of instruments. A high "IQ" person in this analogy would be able to just pick up an instrument and learn it faster than most people. Being lower "IQ" in this analogy doesn't stop you from becoming really good at any particular instrument so long as you dedicate the appropriate time to learn it.
Having a high "IQ" just means that you can learn things faster because you can explore more links between topics and generate a more solid understanding of the topic than most people in a shorter time frame.
