Yes. IQ tests can be studied and your score can be increased like any other test. This is because IQ doesn’t measure intelligence, it measures IQ score.
If your asking about intelligence, then also yes. You can study and become smarter and more knowledgeable. Or you can hit your head or read the Daily Wire and become less intelligent.
We don’t even have agreed upon definition for intelligence so that seems like a weird claim to make.
The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
the act of understanding
the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
In fact, there are some “child prodigies” out there who are simply drilled from a young age to pass specific intelligence tests. If you’re an overbearing parent desperate to live vicariously through your children, you can turn a fairly normal child into a “child prodigy.” It only costs you a lot of time and money and it only costs your child their childhood.
