Nice analysis and point of view here. I think the idea of intelligent quotient and other standard tests, and basically, the general standardization of everything is for convenience.
Instead of developing a specific test for each individual a general test is developed for the general population. This is the same as IQ tests, and in this strength, is also it's weaknesses as you cannot always generalize and judge people from standard tests.
A lot of things can enhance intelligence. And as you've asked, motivation is one of them. Facts already shows that highly motivated people will always do better than the general population. Motivation can come in a lot of ways too. Sometimes, it's proper incentives for efforts and with that you just unleash the hidden intelligence in people.
Other times, conditions such as being poor or broke serve as a huge motivator and gets the brain overclocking!
Hmm…. Exactly motivation is a good influence to enhance one’s intelligence. Without doing something willingly, you won’t add all your effort towards it.
This is an awesome addition to this article.
Thanks sir.
