IQ is determined in a scientific manner by
assessing one’s memory, general knowledge,
spatial imagery and problem solving skills.
Scientific studies have proven that it is
possible to increase one’s intelligence by
undertaking a set of simple exercises on a regular basis.
1. Keep asking for more from your
brain. Remember that the brain also
tends to stop working hard once it has
attained a particular skill. For
example, if you have mastered
Scrabble, start solving Sudoku puzzles, and then maybe try chess.
2. Try to play more strategy and logic
games, and practice drawing a
connection between things.
3. Video games can stimulate your brain,
but you must try to pick a game that is
different from what you usually do
in your leisure time. This way, you
will be exposed to a novel situation.
Games like TETRIS are quite useful.
4. Take up cryptography and enjoy
breaking the codes in ordinary
messages and playing logic puzzles.
5. Playing crossword is also great
exercise for your brain.
6. Do routine physical exercise because a
healthy brain exists in a healthy
body.
7. Expand your mental horizons by
studying new subjects.
8. Try something new; participate in
new activities - anything from
sculpture making to bungee jumping!
Remember that each new experience
triggers the neurotransmitter
dopamine, which adds pleasure to the senses.
9. Try being innovative and avoid
taking a routine approach to your
everyday life. For example, picking
a new route to the office is also a
mental exercise as it keeps your mind
extra alert for any road hazards.
10. Develop the habit of writing instead
of emails as it increases your
kinesthetic stimulation and visual
skills.
11. As per the Mozart Effect, listening
to classical music for ten minutes can
enhance your brain skills by a few
points. So enjoy some music, too.
12. Reading regularly is extremely
productive for your brain as it adds to
your knowledge and increases your
mind’s ability to comprehend a
situation. Never stop learning. The day you stop it, your
brain would begin deteriorating and you do not
want that. So what are you waiting for? Start answering
