How to Increase IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

I have Asperger's syndrome, but I'm not a genius, I mean I used to be on the test had a IQ 101

I've never been good at math, on the contrary I had a lot of problems in school because of this. But it was good in History
I read a lot of story about aspie math super genius and i always ask God and myself why not me?

Why always other had all this cool gifts

Are there any ways to stimulate the brain to increase IQ?
I mean mainly the mathematical and analytical abilities

I hear about people with Asperger's who are super mathletes, but from what I've seen written here most people with AS are average at math.

Science, genius at every level. English, better than my teachers. Technology, I'm there. History, encyclpediac knowledge. Language, ja. Math, .

I've been interested in this as well, because I'm disappointed in my slow progress in abstract math. It seems that there are only ways to increase one's skills (which may help one score higher on an IQ test), but I doubt that there is any way to increase a person's core ability.

I used to be excellent at math. Now I completely suck at it. Go figure.

At least once we're grown, IQ is not something that can be successfully raised any more than we can change the distance between our eyes or our height.

From what I have read, IQ is about eighty percent heritable and twenty percent environmental, at least during the time when humans are developing. Heritable means it comes from our genes, and there is nothing that can be done.

The following is the case in most developed countries: Look at the ingredients list of a prepared food item. If that food item contains enriched flour, law mandates that the flour be fortified with iron, riboflavin, niacin, and a couple of other nutrients. This is because without these nutrients, IQ and neural development are inhibited, and sometimes severely so.

Another factor that can raise IQ in the developmental years is providing a stimulating environment for the child.

So, if you are grown, there isn't much you can do about your IQ. But you can make the most of the abilities you have by studying hard, and you would be wise to do so.

Finally, I would add that an IQ of 101 is a little above average (the test is renormed every few years to ensure by definition that a score of 100 remains average.

Good luck.

Why? What the hell is the point?
Smarter doesn't mean anything and doesn't seem to help with anything.
Doesn't help ya get significant others.
Doesn't help ya get money.
Doesn't help ya be more at peace with the world.

But for some reason everyone seems to think gobs of brains are a panacea. The solution to everything.
Being smart sucks a*ss.

When I was a kid and I was on the summer camp for teens with Asperger's, ADHD, etc. On thia camp i got IQ test,

This is the test that It came out that, i have115 verbal IQ scale, and 90 in not verbal, but I do not know what it means

You can't " Increase Your IQ , it may range a few points thought Your life , but apart from that , it dosen't change.

BTW An IQ of 101 isn't bad , that's about average , I have an IQ of 124.

You can improve your critical thinking skills by learning new things, for example by learning to do Sudoku or KenKen puzzles or by learning another language. This will enable you to do more with the intelligence that you already have, as well as protecting you against neural degenerative diseases if you make it a lifelong habit to learn new things regularly.

Iq is mostly genetic, but I'm a huge believer in determination paying off. If you eat a good diet (produce), exercise, sleep 8hr, and most importantly, use what you've got (khan academy's math practice is a great outlet for this), your IQ will improve.
