How to Boost Your IQ
Overview
While you might believe your IQ is fixed, it's possible to enhance it more than you might think.
History of IQ Testing
The modern concept of IQ began with Alfred Binet, a French psychologist who created intelligence tests in 1905 to help identify students needing extra assistance in school. In 1912, German psychologist William Stern introduced the term "intelligence quotient" or IQ. The formula devised since then remains widely used:
\[ \text{IQ} = \frac{\text{Mental Age}}{\text{Chronological Age}} \times 100 \]
For example, a 10-year-old child performing like an average 13-year-old would have an IQ of 130.
Strategies to Boost Your IQ
Study for Standardized Tests
Investing in study materials for IQ tests can significantly improve your scores. There are various types of IQ tests, some with multiple sections like verbal, math, and spatial skills, while others focus on a single area. Typically, these tests require problem-solving within a supervised, timed setting across domains such as spatial visualization, perceptual speed, short-term memory, and verbal skills.
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is the most commonly used test, with subtests including object assembly and vocabulary. Studying guides for tests like the WAIS, Stanford-Binet, Miller Analogies, Cattell Culture Fair II, and Raven’s Progressive Matrices can be found online or at bookstores.
Practice with Brain Teasers
Repeatedly solving brain teasers can help you recognize patterns in IQ tests, making you more adept at solving problems. This familiarization process allows you to approach standardized questions with ease, as they often revolve around similar patterns and principles.
Consider the GRE
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) shares structures with standard IQ tests and is accepted by high IQ societies like MENSA. You can find study copies, including older editions, often at local libraries to practice repeatedly.
Join High IQ Societies
Achieving a high IQ score opens doors to various high IQ societies, which can benefit your personal and professional life. Many list membership in these societies on resumes, which can be a deciding factor in employment opportunities.
Conclusion
Boosting your IQ is achievable through consistent practice with IQ tests. As you become more familiar with the types of questions and their patterns, the tests become easier, paving the way to potentially achieving a genius IQ.
