It is like exercise... you are shaping your brain to the problem. The US military actually tests for this in what's called the Army GT score of the ASVAB test.
When I took the ASVAB in high school I scored a 107. That score is too low to become a warrant officer so I had to retake it a couple of years ago for my officer packet and I scored a 129 out of a maximum 130. That puts me in the top 0.1% of testers. I am not smarter or more intelligent than when I was in high school. I do write software though. Every couple of years I look back on my software and algorithms realizing how I continue to improve and see the solutions more clearly.
