How can I increase my IQ?
958681
IQ is a controversial thing. I personally don't believe you can measure a persons intelligence by looking at the scores of a test they did one day. Many factors could come into play such as the person being ill or not focused on the test. You can make yourself smarter just by exercising your brain like you would exercise any other part of you. Read or watch documentaries Test your maths skills and problem solving, look up random words in a dictionary to increase your vocabulary, look at encyclopedias and learn about history and other facts about the world. It's not as boring as it sounds. Especially once you get older and you can use your knowledge in conversations and your mathematics will be helpful in any form of occupation.

It doesn't matter what grade you're in or how old you are. An IQ test does not determine your level of intelligence. It measures how easily you learn. Your IQ, if tested properly, should stay the same throughout your life. Oh, and a 126 is above average.

An IQ of 100 is average.  Beetween 90 and 110 is pretty much the range of average where most people fit in.  An IQ of 113 is above average.\n\nBut you can always improve your IQ.  Don't believe anyone who says you can't.  How?  Read every day.  Practice logic puzzles (you can get them in the games section of any bookstore).  Keep your math skills sharp by practicing.  And - I repeat it because it's so important - read books each and every day.

There are lots of fun IQ tests on-line.  You can also buy books of IQ tests at the larger book stores.  The MENSA organization publishes books of IQ tests.\n\nHowever, these tests will not truly give you what is accepted as an IQ score.  The two most recognized IQ tests are the Wechsler tests and the Standford Binet.  To do one of those you have to find someone who is qualified to do the test with you - you don't just sit and do it on your own.  Usually that person will be someone trained in assessment and may have a masters degree in counseling, testing, psychology, or sometimes education.  \n\nCheck with the couseling department at your local school or college or university for more information.  Someone there should be able to point you in the right direction for your area.  Be prepared to pay a good chunk of money to do the test - it won't be free.  However, if there is a university in your area that teaches masters students to administer these tests you may be able to volunteer to be one of their practice test takers.  Then it would be free.

If you live near a Best Buy go to the CD-ROMS and look around the education series. You might see a CD called IQ Test. I got the cd and it's age 13 to adult.

Take a look at www.mensa.org.uk where you can fine more info on IQ tests.  100 is the average IQ level, but as another posted stated, it depends on the test.

Rather on the high end. But remember... IQ doesn't mean you are smart - it only measures your potential. If you don't use it, it doesn't mean a thing.

IQ is something that measures our "intelligence" (it stands for "intelligence quotient") and a lot of it is down to your innate ability to process and retain information, work out complex problems etc. However, there are things you can do to stimulate your mind which may in turn help to improve your IQ score. \n\nRead! Yes, this is first because in order to improve your IQ you must read. But before you reach out for that worn-out paperback (a story you've read a million times) read a new book, a different book...a book from a completely different genre than what you're used to. You usually read mystery? Good, now go ahead and read some comedy. Only fiction? Go grab a biography. Read everything and anything (this includes articles, etc...). \n\nTry writing with your opposite hand. Some people claim that if you write with your opposite hand then your IQ goes up, because your brain is not used to writing with that other hand and is forced to work harder. However, if you're ambidextrous, that's great.. try writing with both hands at once, and try writing different things with different hands at once. \n\nWrite out long letters. Thinking about emailing your aunt that thank you letter? Forget it, write it out by hand. \n\nPlay video games. However, don't play that game you're always playing. Try a new game, something you've never played before. It will stimulate your mind and help you to think differently. \n\nWork on cryptology. This is when a message is written in codes and you try to figure it out...it's hard, but after a while it's fun. \n\nCrosswords and Sudoku..basically anything that stimulates the mind and that completely frustrates you because you just can't get it.

I suggest you just learn as much as you can. period. Do different types of puzzles and brain exercises. Learn languages. Meditate. Study martial arts. Take up a sport.

One of the most sure way of increasing the percentage of brainpower you use (not neccesarry regarding to what we define as intelligence) is to use the age old technique of the East : Meditation. Performing Yoga under supervision, can also be very rewarding in this aspect. However, it has to be done carefully, as too much of either can have devastating results. So, good luck.

I dunno, apparently like 120 and up is pretty cool. Just remember that IQ tests examine a very special set of skills. They have no bearing on your rhthym, your style, your potential as a human being, or whether you're nice person.

There are numerous sites on the net where you can do a so-called IQ test.  They can be fun.  For some of them you will have to register on the site.   Remember that they will not give you a true IQ score - they tend to score higher than real IQ tests.\n\nHere are a few I know of.  There are probably lots of others.

You can't improve memory or IQ. \n\nThey are like a measure of capacity and it's up to you to make the best use of them. \n\nI used to think IQ was a big thing until I knew a person who had an IQ of 150 was no more than a painter and one person I knew who was amazing at busines had an IQ of less then 95.\n\nUse the source below for help in organising what you learn.
