In biology we have what we call DNA and also the GENES. those dull parent might virtually have the gene of an intelligent child. so it doesn't not matter. like the example of short parents giving birth to tall children. it just depends on the one that is dominant and recessive |

No one is born dull , some people just use their brain more than others. So the answer is yes. 6 Likes 1 Share |

[b][/b]@OP....KNOWLEGDE IS ACQUIRED AND NOT CONGENTIAL! NOBODY WAS BORN WITH KNOWLEGDE• AGREED SOME PEOPLE WERE BORN GENIUSES BUT INTELLIGENCE IS MORE ACQUIRED THAN CONGENTIAL! GENIUSES ARE MORE MADE AND BORN!!THERE IS WHAT WE CALL THE THEORY OF USE AND DISUSE! IF A CHILD WAS BORN NATURALLY INTELLIGENT, IF HE DOESNT DEVELOP HIS INTELLIGENCE BY READING AND ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE, HE's INTELLIGENCE WILL DIMINISH ON THE OTHER HAND IF A "NORMAL" CHILD CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ITSELF MENTALLY, HE/SHE IS SURE GONNA BE INTELLIGENT 2 Likes |

As with most things intelligence is determined by a mixture and interaction between genes and environment Somebody may be born with genes that allow them to retain and use information in a more sophisticated manner than their peers Somebody may be born with genes that cause them to be slower in this regard Likewise somebody may be brought up in a household where independent thought, wise reasoning and a thirst for knowledge are the order of the day Somebody else may be born into a family where people think reading is a waste of time, or that intelligent thinking is not really important Even if you have the genetic potential it may not be fully realized because the environment you spend your time in does not encourage these qualities to be expressed to the greatest extent If your genes are causing you to lack in this area, being trained in an environment where intelligence is valued will allow you to increase your intelligence by training or to realize other avenues of talent or skill that are not affected by these genes It depends on both what you are born with and what you are born into Spiritual and psychological factors also come into play if you are taught to believe that you are intelligent, you will believe and act as though you are and vice versa also there are different types of intelligence, not just the "book" kind that I have used as a reference point. There is also emotional, social and spiritual intelligence and everyone is born with varying degrees of this, and are also trained to develop these to varying extents there are people who can do complex sums without calculators but still find it very difficult to maintain a relationship there are people who are very good at interacting with others socially but have no moral or spiritual sense at all intelligence is made up of many aspects which different people carry in different levels of abundance 1 Like |

Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Gurgle(f): 1:19pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Teempakguy: yea I think so but often those who are born without some aspect will be compensated in other areas, if they invest time to find out what that area is and if they receive the correct support from those around them |
Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Nobody: 1:23pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Gurgle:of course, there is a limit to the extent one factor can increase intelligence if the other is fixed. For instance, a brilliant person born into an underdeveloped country will perform lower. In the same way, a person born into a highly educational family, but with diminished biological intelligence will find it difficult to get smarter. |

Intelligence is subjective..so it depends where you coming from..please specify..and please people should stop saying no one is born dull..its just like saying no one is born brilliant..if there is positive,there will also be negative..that's what the chinese calls ying-yang.if you are dull does not make you useless,no one is useless!!! |
Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Nobody: 1:44pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Slimzjoe:nah, they can't make a genius. Probably the highest they can get is above average intelligence. Being a genius is not a walk in the park. Your baseline intelligence has to be gifted level. |
Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Slimzjoe(m): 1:47pm On Jul 18, 2015 |

Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Gurgle(f): 1:52pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Teempakguy: I think a person with diminished biological intelligence who was born into a highly educated family would find it easier to get smarter since the educated thinking style is already in place within the household. for example when the child started to show signs of lower biological intelligence the parents would be more able to adapt to the situation and would be more interested in developing the child in a different way since the current approach is not working well a brilliant person born into an underdeveloped country will still perform well if their family provides an environment conducive to learning. but how able that family is to do that will be impacted by the overall development profile of the country they live in 1 Like |

Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Nobody: 1:59pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Gurgle:I agree, but there is a limit. Have you heard of IQ levels? There is a limit to the space one can move up form baseline intelligence. An average person can NEVER improve to have an IQ of above 135 by simply being put in a different environment. for example when the child started to show signs of lower biological intelligence the parents would be more able to adapt to the situation and would be more interested in developing the child in a different way since the current approach is not working wellthat does not mean the child is smart. It merely means he's is being educated. There is a wide difference. a brilliant person born into an underdeveloped country will still perform well if their family provides an environment conducive to learning. but how able that family is to do that will be impacted by the overall development profile of the country they live inif . . . this is a conditional statement which is basically what I said too. However, there is also a limit to how far one can drop in the IQ scale due to environmental factors. |

Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by ksbusari(m): 4:11pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
In most cases NO. It means d educational foundation of such child will nt be solid. Bt on rear occassions YES. |
Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Gurgle(f): 4:54pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Teempakguy: Yeah I agree with that limit but the full potential below that limit can be reached with proper care and guidance I wasn't referring to whether or not the child is smart. I meant that in such cases the parents of that child would be better equipped to find other way to tap into that child's potential if they had been trained to a higher level themselves and had that mindset that being well-educated gives people Yes. |

Slimzjoe: Indeed, all men were created by God equally, but u would agree with me that virtually not everyone looks the same...so also does our skills varies even as our looks differs....Even as there is d gift of singing, dancing and d likes, some others were given the natural gift of Intelligence which makes them exceptionally unique from others(in their way) vice versa. this makes a person smarter and wiser than the others...Of course, d way u reason isn't d way I reason ...so also others...But that doesn't make us all unequal in his sight....And d fact that all men were created equal doesn't mean they tend to develop equally as well...#my opinion tho# |
Re: Can Dull Parents Give Birth To Intelligient And Brilliant Children by Slimzjoe(m): 5:17pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
ShayGirl: Yes our Skills Vary but We can Develope and Nurture Skills we didn't have before.... Yhu could Go Learn how to swim, yhu Can Learn how to Sing, I can Use Cream to Change my Skin Colour. The Reason some People are smarter or Wiser than others is not Because God made them so but Because of there Environment,Interaction and Food. I forgot to Add IQ Level ![]() |
