Top 9 in Top 10 Psychological Tricks to Boost Your IQ.
Our society is impatient intellectually. We rarely pause to consider all of the possibilities when we wish to answer a question. Instead, we enter the question into our cellphones and have the answer in seconds. However, the immediate nature of that knowledge dulls your scientific thinking. Here's an exercise you can do practically every day to improve your IQ. When you ask a question or solve a problem, don't look up the answer. Make an educated guess instead. Only until you've written down your best guess on a piece of paper may you access your phone and browse the Internet. This may appear to be a worthless activity, yet it gives you an important skill set. Creating hypotheses encourages you to make meaningful conclusions from limited data. This allows you to make more informed decisions, draw more nuanced conclusions, and detect relevant patterns in the world around you.
