Point is, in order to possess intelligence you must first be able to understand the world around you and be able to retain said data, and that relies on your basic fundamental senses.
Work on sharpening and refining those physical senses to the best of abilities and your capability to recognize, connect and understand the intricate patterns which make up this world will improve as well thereby increasing your intelligence. Study hard, practice and learn the fundamentals of any given subject as well of course, but do not forget what allows you to do such things in the first place is my point.
