Usually, when we learn about the height of his IQ, we think that this is the final result and the end of life we can say about myself, "I have a 109 IQ," or "my intelligence is very high, I got up to 150." It is a fallacy, because IQ can change over a lifetime, both for better and for worse.
It is related to the construction of the human brain, which is probably the most sophisticated computer in the world (I use the word "probably" because I do not exclude the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.) The human mind is so fascinating that his training can improve your score in IQ tests by about 10, and in some cases even 15 points. This means that with appropriate effort, we can with a person of average intellect to become a very shrewd man. But how to do this? The paper will present some effective ways to increase your IQ.
1. Exit the house
Scientists are unanimous in the belief that proper oxygenation of the brain can better its performance. Morning jog or evening stroll in the park should have a positive impact not only on our mood, but also to our mental capacity.
2. Stop watching TV
Studies show that people who watch television for longer than 2 hours a day (and remember that the average American spends almost 5! hours ), Cope less well with the tasks that require logical thinking than people who do not watching television at all. This follows from the fact that watching TV spoils us intellectually, that the average viewer absorb the information without any reflection on their content.
3. Read the book
The contact with the written word has a positive effect on intellectual development. In the 80's at several American universities conducted an interesting study. Collected two groups of students in the first group were young people who read more than five books a year, and the other students are not reading at all. Both groups were given to solve the same IQ test. It turned out that a group of reading students fared in this test IQ by five points better than none reading group . It is common knowledge that is contained in the books of wisdom.
