Top 2 in Top 10 Psychological Tricks to Boost Your IQ.
Another strong intellectual capacity is tacit intelligence, which describes your ability to apply past information and experiences to new situations. Assume you've just started a new job doing something you've never done before. You've never done this particular job before, but that doesn't imply you're inexperienced. Someone with tacit intelligence understands that useful lessons can be learned in unexpected places. Unfortunately, most people do not inherently possess implicit intelligence. In fact, most people struggle to connect old experiences with new ones, particularly on the job. The issue, however, has nothing to do with their IQs. The issue... is the way they think. When confronted with an issue, you, like many others, may become sidetracked by exterior characteristics. Assume you are selling an automobile for the first time in your life. Because you've never sold a car before, you feel unskilled and confused, but the truth is... you have more experience than you realize. Perhaps you've already purchased a car, exposing yourself to the strategies of other, more successful salespeople. My point is that you are never entirely out of your element. When confronted with a task, ask yourself, "Have I done anything similar in the past?" If so, how can I apply lessons from my history to future challenges?" You may know more than you think if you think hard and reflect on your accomplishments.
