This quote discusses the two different views on intelligence. I am not sure if I agree with either of them. On the one hand you have the first view, which consist of the supposed 'entity theory'. This theory supports that a person's intelligence it apparently an entity all on its own. And then on the completely opposite hand you have 'incremental theory'. This theory consists of the thought that intelligence is something akin to a persons strength; that with work and dedication is can be improved. My view on intelligence is that it is a bit of both of these theories. I do without a doubt believe that a persons intelligence can be increased but I also believe that there is a limit. Only so many connections can be made before a persons brain quite literally hurts to much.
