      Do you mean intelligent or well-dressed?
      I’m not usually well-dressed, but I’ve got a pretty good IQ.
      IQ is not a perfect measure of intelligence, but I seem to do alright and learn stuff quickly enough.
      Research shows that intelligence is about 35 % genetic and 65 % environmental. So basically, if a person wants to be more intelligent, then they can get better with good food, lots of sleep, plenty of exercise and hard study.
      I try pretty hard to do all of the right things, and my family members seem pretty clever to me.
