5 brilliant tips to increase your IQ

The first question you probably ask your self, is if its even possible to increase the IQ. In this blogpost we will give you the answer and the methods to better IQ test score.

What is IQ?

IQ is short for intelligent quotient, and is used to show the result of several standardized intelligence tests. The frist IQ test was developed by Alfred Binet in 1905. He made the test for kids to find out if they had special needs in school. Today, most IQ test are based on the Binet Intelligence scale.

A few years back New York Times published a story with the head line Can We Increase Our Intelligence? The article is very relevant to our question, so let's take a look at a quote (the Flynn effect):

"Flynn first noted that standardized intelligence quotient (I.Q.) scores were rising by three points per decade in many countries, and even faster in some countries like the Netherlands and Israel. For instance, in verbal and performance I.Q., an average Dutch 14-year-old in 1982 scored 20 points higher than the average person of the same age in his parents’ generation in 1952. These I.Q. increases over a single generation suggest that the environmental conditions for developing brains have become more favorable in some way."

Many studies shows us that it's possible to improve your IQ test resultats and IQ.

Here are 5 brilliant tips to increase your IQ test score.
