Our Intelligences Thinking and Working SMARTER not Harder by Clifford Morris

I continue to struggle with the answer to this question: How have we acquired out various intelligences?  Or expressed in the form of another question:

"Are we who we are due to our biological background (agreeing that inheritance plays a firm factor in our overall potential) ... or can we enhance our smarts on our own via deliberate practice?"

While I believe that we are products of both mother nature and nurturing environments, we must remember that we are not fully slaves to our genes or prisoners to our background.  In short, I feel that success stems from a combination of best using those intelligences that our parents passed on to us and by developing the skills that we have polished over the years.  Perhaps the answer to this interesting question lies somewhere within the following list of links.
