If you’re smart, you are already smart. No website is going to make you smart. It may help you learn puzzle-solving skills and pattern recognition, but intelligence is hereditary, and is ingrained by the age of 3. Fully 50% of the population is below average intelligence, and the only way to change your position on the intelligence continuum is for people who are stupider than you are to die off, which actually happens because stupid people do stupid things which often lead to death. Otherwise, Lumosity is entertainment, and somebody is just trying top make a buck from it. Treat it as entertainment, and you will be fine.
Mostly but not entirely correct.
Like height, you are born with a maximum potential for IQ. Also like height, malnutrition, abuse, illness and a host of other factors can keep you from reaching your maximum potential.
But no amount of feeding or training will help anyone reach a height or IQ greater than their hereditary potential.
IOW, we know how to make people dumber. We do not know how to make them smarter.
This is more than a little frightening, since so many people are concerned with making people "equal." The easiest way to do so is to keep potentially smart people from getting there.

LOL.
Fully half of the population is below median intelligence.
Median and average are not the same thing.
You may want to give lumosity a try.
