best way to explain this is\nyour IQ is 20% of your total inteligence, so 80% of your total inteligence is down to self-esteem and charisma, so if someone tels you youre stupid enought times, you start to believe it. if you have a high IQ but low motivational skills then you will seem rather "stupid" so the best way to do it is by\n1. keep thinking youre inteligent\n2. keep yourelf motivated\n3. practice everything in a way that suits you wether it is visualy, audialy or kinestheticaly.

Go to school and study what interests you.  BTW, you don't "higher your IQ" you raise it!

Drink plenty of water.  \nDon't watch too much TV - your brain and the ability to think is like a muscle.  Use it or lose it.

Yes, absolutely. Take some college courses, educate yourself, or just keep stimulating your brain on a daily basis.

As the first answerer stated. Learn about many subjects to that you can talk on many levels. Find interesting stories to tell. \nSmile and be understanding of others and care for them. \nBecoming charming, isn't easy if you haven't been born charming.\nBut you can try to be more like that. Look at some movie stars, mostly the older ones, like Cary Grant, rent his movies and watch his style. Copy what you can. You may not turn our charming, but it should help you.

Buying more expensive recipes makes someone a better cook? Not necessarily.\n\nYou hit part of the equation of self-improvement in the part of your statement about basketball. To get better at a skill, practice of proper technique can be invaluable.\n\nI have some problems with the nature of your final question, though. First of all, I seldom see the value of intellectualism as a competitive sport. I think the true value of knowledge and understanding comes from constantly trying to improve one's self, not from trying to be better than "that person" or "this person". Not to mention that your hypothetical "person who knows EVERYTHING" doesn't exist.\n\nAlso, I think you're confusing two separate things to equate "being smarter" with "knowing more". It's a common misconception - that the acquisition and recitation of facts are somehow indicators of intelligence. After all, most of us think the people on "Jeopardy!" to be quite smart, no?\n\nThe two are not so closely linked, though. People can learn massive amounts of information, but lack an ability to critically analyze that information. That case would mark a person as the flesh and blood equivalent of an encyclopedia. Useful for attaining bits of information, sure - but you wouldn't ask the Encylcopedia Britannica to make a decision for you.\n\nOf course, there is some correlation. People inclined towards critical analysis tend to desire a more in-depth understanding of issues and situations, and so *may* be better informed as to the complexities of a topic. Just thought it was necessary to point out that these are two different things.\n\nSo, what's your goal? Is it to know more facts about a topic or series of topics than another person? In that case, pick your topics, find some reliable books of reference, and start reading. Take notes if that's your style, develop some memory mnemonics if they help you remember, et cetera. But I would suggest that this is not a very rewarding endeavor, by itself.\n\nIf your actual question is about critical thinking skill - if you want to enhance your ability to examine situations, make decisions, etc. . my suggestion would be to focus on understanding the nature of logical analysis and critical thinking. These topics aren't touched on nearly enough in American education - I don't know where you are from, but my (limited) knowledge tells me this is true in most educational systems.\n\nLook for books in your local library or bookstore - or just do a little bit of internet research - on critical thinking and logical analysis. There's a wealth of material out there that explicitly details the structure of argument, logical deduction, and so on.\n\nFor interpersonal debate, I find a study of logical fallacies to be invaluable. One of my favorite books on this subject - although by no means authoritative - is called "Attacking Faulty Reasoning", if you're interested. There are, however, plenty of free resources out there on this topic as well.\n\nHope this helps. Learn, try to understand, practice analytical skills - it's not all that different from learning to play basketball.

Break it up into different parts.  Like intellectual and Physical and social.  Under intellectual, you may break that down to memorization tasks, quick thinking tasks, and maybe reasoning tasks.  Memorization: easy, have them memorize something like the presidents.  Quick thinking:  Games where they need to recall the correct answer quickly.  Reasoning:  Solving word problems.\n\nUnder physical, you could have Heath class, PE, Sports, etc…\n\nUnder Social, you would have group sessions, team sports, etc…\n\nBasically, brainstorm and come up with as many ideas as you can.  Then try and break each one of those ideas into as many smaller components.  Once you get there, then start writing about each of those components. Write one or two paragraphs linking it all together and you will have your finished paper in no time flat.

Just be patient.  Wisdom comes with age, and it comes from life experiences.  You seem to know that you aren't tactful or diplomatic, so work to change these traits.  Problem solving techniques come from being a good listener.  Talk to people that you see, who are tactful and diplomatic; seek a mentor!  Good luck to you!

Hello Desh, I think you are brilliant already. The fact that you are aware that you can't remember some of the answers you read, is the first step in solving the challenge. To tell you the truth IT IS VERY EASY TO STUDY AND REMEMBER!\n\nFirstly, change the environment you study in. Some people study and absorb a lot in quite environments. You can chose a very quite library or study room. If you live in the country side move to the parks, but remember to stay in sight so people will easily come to your aid in case a lunatic threatens you.\n\nSome people also do very good studies in music filled environment. Tune in to your ipod or mp3 player and hit them books.\n\nSometimes you might also want to make it fun. If it is a history subject, put yourself into the drama and be the hero remembering all the characters in the lesson.\n\nOr better make your own music or discuss your topic or subject with one of your favorite friends and tell them to ask you questions about the subject in question. Hey! You are smart and am sure you gonna come out with the grades you are looking for. Good luck sweet heart.

Your question is difficult to answer because it is rather general, and I am not quite sure what you need to know.  \n\nIt's a matter of everyday experience that some people are smarter than others. But how do we measure "smartness"?\nGlobal intellligence is made up of many specific abilities.  It consists of verbal abilities and "hands on" types of abilities.  Very few people are good in all the different abiities measured by an intelligence test for example.  Some people are very very good in just one area, sometimes called a splinter skill, but not in any others.  Some people are "book smart" while others are "common sense smart".\n\nThen we need to consider multiple intelligences theory.  The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:\n\n Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"): \n Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") \n Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") \n Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") \n Musical intelligence ("music smart") \n Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") \n Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") \n Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") \n\nI have attached a couple of websites that should help you.

Everyone has the same brain capacity, unless you have Down's Sydnrome, or other mental problems. It is how you use your brain that makes you smart. If you never learn, never want to learn, you are likely to be stupid. Vice versa.

Just be happy that you are who you are...intelligence doesn't mean smart, I mean you can have a rocket scientist that has an IQ of 4,000 but if he doesn't look bothways before walking across a highway then what's the point of intelligence.

what do you consider intellectual? i would say the cns(central nervous system) can also be called intellectual.\n\nmy lymph nodes and adrenal glands are pretty smart too, they defend my body from invaders, know how to regulate my hormone levels, function to keep me healthy... pretty smart.

Bush's greatest intellectual inaptitude is best evidenced by his inability to speak articulately and to form grammatically correct sentences. It's extremely ironic  that whomever asked this question, as well as most of those who answered it, have demonstrated that they are at least equally deficient. If you are going to attack someone's intelligence, you should be at least as intelligent as they are. Otherwise, you are unwittingly degrading yourself. Try to be a little less judgmental. While Bush may not be the most brilliant person, or the most eloquent speaker, he isn't a moron. You might try spending a few weeks under constant video surveillance and just see how smart you sound when the media rolls the tape. Good luck.

I have found curiosity to provoke the intellect. When you are curious about something, you research and learn more about it. Wisdom comes through understanding. Wisdon may or may not be tied to intellect as although you may seek wisdom through studies, you do not always find it.\n\nSeek and you shall find.\n\n+Michael
