The answer to this question varies from person to person because I have a lot of knowledge in intelligence and academia. I do have a musical background myself. Basically , what I am saying is that a person who has a skillset compared to a person with knowledge are equal in skills and talents. Having a lot of knowledge is not a determining factor in this case. A person who has a skill had to learn how to academically become inclined at one point of their life. Both individuals are equal in intellect and both of them are capable of achieving success.
