Who Cares What Your IQ Is?

You Want Brain Power, Not Scores!

Would you like to know what your IQ is? Want to improve it?

What is IQ anyhow? The American Heritage Dictionary defines

Intelligence Quotient as "The ratio of tested mental age to

chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient

multiplied by 100." Basically, it's a test of intelligence,

with 100 as the average score. There are some problems with

IQ tests however.

A recent IQ test asked which of four fruits was different.

It was the one with more than one seed; but what if you were

not familiar with these fruits? Obviously this test is

culturally biased. You are assumed to have certain

knowledge, yet you are being tested for intelligence, not

knowledge.

Now look at these letters: "ANLDEGN." Rearrange them and

you'll have the name of a(n): Ocean, Country, State, City or

Animal. This is from an IQ test I took. Hmm.. very few

oceans, so I could eliminate those - but wait a second!

That's a test taking technique. An intelligence test

shouldn't be testing your test-taking ability. I'm bound to

score higher than a person of equal intelligence who hasn't

learned simple techniques for scoring higher on multiple -

choice tests.

Real Life Results vs Scores

Maybe an imperfect test is better than no test at all, and

it is entertaining. I just took an IQ test, and though I

don't think my IQ is really the 138 it showed, it was fun.

You can try a free IQ test on my website. Of course you know

you'll score higher on a good day than a bad day. If you

didn't know that, try these tips to make it a good IQ test

day:

1. Breath deep.

2. Sit up straight.

3. Close your mouth.

4. Drink a cup of coffee.

5. Exercise just enough to get the blood pumping

faster.

6. Try Ginkgo Biloba (It increases blood flow to the

Now let me ask you a question. What was Henry Fords IQ? Who

cares! The man was one of the most innovative people of the

last century, and he did what he did by surrounding himself

with intelligent people. That practice alone has to be worth

more than 20 IQ points. Do you get the point?

Real life results are what you want, right? So if you want

to be more creative, learn to use creative problem solving

techniques. If you want to concentrate better, there are

techniques for that. Learn to speed-read and you'll have

double the knowledge in the same time. After you paint your

first Mona Lisa, build your first skyscraper or make your

first million, what will your IQ score be? Who cares!?
