IQ can be improved especially if the last time that you taken the test is when you was a child.

If you're addicted to drug, or any other unhealthy activity which reduce your thinking/cognitive capability, it surely affect the IQ scores.

and another thing is IQ test surely will not cover all of our brain capabilities. Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch were said to be not so bright in high school but still, that is because they're passionless for normal school curriculum.

Some of very acclaimed modern mathematician, a la Andrew Wiles (who solved Fermat Last Theorem, a problem in number theory that had remain unsolved for 3 centuries), and Grigori Perelman (Russian topologist who solved Poincare Conjecture which before had remained unsolved for a century), both of them took at least minimum 7 years to just concentrate on a single problem. (Probably the same thing with Joyce when he is writing Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake.)

Anybody who thought their intelligent quotient is something that dictated to be permanent are naive.
