It's how good your brain acts and thinks recognized patterns and systems, but the brain like any muscle the more you use it the better it becomes.

So someone who's been educated for 20 years will naturally have a higher IQ than someone who hasn't because they're brain doesn't need a higher IQ because they've not had to use it fully during education.

It isn't a muscle though.

Also everyone uses their brain every day, without using it you would not be able to breath or.... anything, sure you can make certain areas of the brain become more skilled at certain tasks which you repeat over and over again not unlike a CPU caching certain code, but that doesn't require a high IQ to do, nor does having a higher IQ mean you will be proficient at things in a general sense.

I meant, 'Like' a muscle. The more you use it the better it gets. 

Oh come on you know that when I said not using it I didn't mean not using it AT ALL I mean not using it in an educational setting, learning mathematics etc, I shouldn't have to explain that.

It doesn't require a high IQ to learn, but when you learn you gain a higher IQ because your brain is used to learning new things.
