5 Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will deteriorate.

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of TV? Your eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the light box for so long. You don’t even have the energy to read a book.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

2. Exercise – I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate more easily.

3. Read Challenging Books – Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

Once you get used to reading challenging books, I think you’ll find that you aren’t tempted to go back to page-turners. The challenge of learning new ideas is far more exciting than any tacky suspense-thriller.

4. Early to Bed, Early to Rise – Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

5. Take Time to Reflect – Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

I’m not saying you need to sit on the floor cross-legged and chant ‘ommm’. Anything that allows a bit of prolonged solitude will do. One of my personal favorites is taking a solitary walk. Someone famous said, “All the best ideas occur while walking.” I think he was on to something. Experiment to find the activity that works best for you.

Conclusion – I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I’ve proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

Great tips, John. I especially like #3, read challenging books. Most people will just read books which are comfortable for them, me included.
Reading this post makes me realize that it won’t grow my intelligence much. Stretching our mind to the boundaries is the way to make it stronger and stronger.

Fantastic post John. I think all five points are valid, but no TV is by far the most important. What do you do if you don’t watch TV? You are naturally inclined to fill the time by reading, excercising, relecting, and if you’re too tired to do any of that….go to bed early.

  exactly Grey your smart man :d i think watching tv it’s a waste of time..let me talk about myself ,i when i was a child the only thing i was doing is watching tv allday long and now i can see the symptom of it ,really it make your brain cell’s dies and let me have a weak concentration and reduction of education .i advice every one to read books instead of watching tv .trust me
James

Most people dont read…so reading is a start for most.
Great idea…but if I am gonna watch TV what is some challenging TV to watch?
Also what are some of those “challenging” books to read.
I find reading books very time challenging issue…Id suggest reading “challenging” magazines/periodicals as well… You can get a lot out of the short stories/essays.

I’m almost finished reading Foucalt’s Pendulumn by Umberto Eco and I can recommend it to anyone who liked the idea behind the Da Vinco Code, but hated its banal false pretenses. I never watch TV, (its antenna is not even plugged into the wall.) I do spend a lot of time behind a computer, playing computer games and reading. I enjoy chemicals, but have had to stop that to persue competitive sport. Unfortunately I don’t sleep enough and drink too much now. So you missed one aspect, self control. One of my personal rules (may not make you smarter) is everythig in moderation. Not only what you eat, drink etc (which will help you be a healthier person) but what you listen to, what you read,what you watch. Every time you experience some genre you have never experienced before, it gives you a new perspective on life, as long as you are open minded to the reason behind it. And then you may use it as it is valid in your everyday life.

if you want to watch something challenging on TV try to watch shows in foreign languages and then learn them, or watch documentaries or political talk shows.

Or you could watch a good movie with interesting dialog. I also love Discovery HD.

i disagree with the reflection, i dont think its nessesary if you live now.

I am a fundamentalist follower of all 5 points. Though for me the 5th, reflection, cannot be radical enough. No, I don’t sit cross legged and go ommmm, but I do meditate for 30 minutes everyday. It cleans the mind and gives me mental energy.
As far as TV goes, I don’t think there’s anything like challenging TV. The most challenging TV is minor league stuff compared to any good book.

I used to watch a lot of television when I was younger, but then went for a long period when I didn’t have one. When the mere habit of watching was broken, I was astonished to realize how stupid almost all television shows were once I got a TV again and sampled some. Even more annoying were commercials, along with the fact that they run *during* a show. Imagine trying to tell someone a story, but interrupting every few minutes to shout, “Hey check this out!” Even if there is challenging television, much of the value is lost if the station runs commercials during the show.

I own a television now, and am not opposed to catching a stray night of David Letterman, but mostly use it to watch DVD’s. Try watching a bunch of the movies that get conistently high reviews. Then do the same without requiring that the movies be recent. Then do the same without requiring that the movies be in English. Your world will be changed.

Well, while I whole-heartedly agree with your tips, I think you’ve forgotten a crucial one- save some time for prayer. Daily prayer is absolutely essential. True, it could be tied in with tip # 5, but it goes beyond reflection. Spending time with the Lord is the most important thing I do each day, and it leaves me feeling clear-headed and ready to take on the world. I recommend it for everyone.

I totally agree with all five points. I will also add moderated internet usage and with a concrete objective. I notice that “internet zapping” has really fucked up my concentration and attention span.
Also, I good way to avoid excesive TV usage is avoiding zapping at all costs, thats the real brain drainer. Nowadays I only watch certain tv shows I donwload via internet, that way I don’t lose time zapping.

I would like to add one more, reduce surfing the net aimlessly. I reduce my TV watching only to find myself surfing general sites. Now I have taken up reading and learning the piano again but this TV thing, man it ain’t easy quitting it.

  I find it easy to quit when there are fun-ner things to do. Try that! Something that interests you even more… hate reading? maybe read a graphic novel. try learning a new skill, an instrument, crafts, volunteering, helping out your family or neighbors …or more social time. Find something you are passionate about. I doubt you are passionate about television watching, so it’s a habit that could be easy to boot out.

> If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic and have trouble focusing.

I’ve been doing this for almost half a year without any lethargy at all. I’m up at night half the time, but when I’m programming, I continue to get tons of productivity late into the day when I get into a “zone”. Sleeping in the next day, I wake up with my head crystal clear, fully rested and ready for more.

The problems you mention might be a matter of getting used to it, or a feeling of social loss from not being on the same schedule as everyone else. There could also be a problem if you have to go back onto a 24-hour schedule later.

Taking time to reflect is the one that makes most difference, I believe.

Good post with a lot of common sense. I do watch television, even the less brainy stuff, but I do love PBS for the fact that there is so much there to really stimulate my thinking and understanding of the world. I also listen to NPR and podcasts with political and technological subject matter. And as a designer, I find creativity is a great way to take ideas and bring them into the world in a tangible way.

I agree with everything except one thing. Most people’s sleep cycle operates on a 90 minute period. That is stage I sleep to REM sleep. So to get the most out of your sleep it’s best to get 7 1/2 or 9 hours instead of 8.
Eddie

Yes, TV isn’t challenging at all. Unless you’re watching a great PBS series like “American Experience,” “Frontline,” or “Nova.” Or a great science program on the Discovery or National Geographic channels. Or an in-depth history show on the History Channel. Or a great movie. Or just about anything on the Documentary Channel. Or just about anything on Free Speech TV. Or a jazz bio on Trio. Or a vintage concert on VH1 Classic. Or a great, challenging music video like “Kick, Push” by Lupe Fiasco. Or a highly intelligent, literate, mentally engaging comedy like “Futurama” or “Extras.” Or an exciting sporting event. Or … you get the idea. In my opinion, blanket condemnations of television tend to be woefully ill-informed and generally useless. Every medium out there has its share of brilliance and garbage. You’re not enhancing your intelligence by blindly writing any of them off. I also think having some regular contact with the culture of the world you live in enhances intelligence and understanding. I roughly agree with your other four items, though I would add creative socializing to the list. But everything in moderation, including TV. As Pete Townshend once wrote, “Too much of anything is too much for me.”

JimPGFoi: It’s only a disorder if it is a problem.

I am a late sleeper/waker. It is simply my body clock; the only thing that makes me lethargic is caffeine addiction (which I intend to break soon). For curiosity’s sake, what is “early” anyway?

Television only interests me if it makes me think; same when it comes to websites. Books I simply don’t have time for. That may sound conceited, but I just cannot afford the time it takes to read books. It would probably help if I were a speed-reader, but I’m not. I compensate by drawing and having stimulating conversations. I’m sure your pointers are very effective for people that cannot find their own ways.
http://www.robneville.net Rob Neville

Amen to the early to bed, early to rise…if I could just convince my wife of that! We are diurnal creatures by design and were meant to sleep when the sun goes down and become active again when it rises. Television and the electric light bulb and modern society have seriously altered our natural patterns. My sharpest mental period is always from about 6am to just after lunch.
usrtyp

Read Challenging Books : hit me on the head once more with the cherished book. This is getting to be a stale muffin. Its always implied the computer can not perform the same function. The alphabet is the same, and the words have the same meanings.

Early to Bed, Early to Rise: another bonk to the noggin. Implied is the glory of that period leading up to daybreak, as if it had special precedent over any other period. Quite right that sleep deprivation is a robber of a sharp mind, as are irregular sleeping hours.

I think your picks are sound and wise, I just don’t agree of putting books and the morning on a pedestal. Enjoy your egg McMuffin while reading Pride & Prejudice in the early daybreak, but theres no need to say that is the best for others who have different ideas of accomplishing the same goals.
http://www.myspace.com/turboswami Kaleb

All of these are very true, yet I find that getting out and socializing is sometimes one of the most mentally-beneficial things one can do.

If you live alone, and isolate yourself, over time the social areas of your brain begin to weaken, other areas soon following suit. Alzheimer’s, afterall, mostly affects those middle-aged adults who have lived alone for several years.

@JimPGFoi:
> perhaps you are suffering from a disorder of somesort.

It’s called “laziness” I’ve been experimenting with a free-floating schedule, and it seems to work great. No computer programming when I’m sleepy, coffee only when I feel like it, and I sleep like a baby. All the other things in this article work very well, but I’ve never liked the “early to rise” part

Television gets a bad rap. There are a lot of great and mentally stimulating shows among the different Discovery Channels and The History Channel. Sure, one could read about most of the things that are on there (and I often do after watching), but speaking as a teacher, there is much better retention when multiple senses are stimulated–something you don’t really get from simply reading a book.

Also, a good comedy or drama (or comedrama as I like to call some of the shows) from time to time is pretty harmless.
http://obruo.com/ Shadus

I would disagree with the thought that “popular suspense fiction” isn’t good reading. It really depends on the author… and generally it’s easier to read something you ENJOY than something you loathe. I can sit down and read classics all day, I was reading at far above that level in 9th grade in high school (back in the early 90s)– however, I loathe reading it. It takes me 4-5x as long, not because of comprehension or lack of knowing the vocabulary being used… but because it’s dry and boring as hell and I can’t “get into” reading it. Give me something that interests me, like Greg Bear’s Eon or Larry Niven’s Ringworld and I’ll devour the book in a matter of an hour or two and go looking for more. After falling asleep 6-7 times reading “a classic” I won’t want to read again for a week. I think I’ve read 300-400 books that most people consider to be “classics” and I’ve enjoyed less than 20 of them. I’ve read perhaps 8000-10000 popular fiction/science fiction books and I enjoyed more than 50% of them.

If you dislike what you’re reading no matter what the quality of the work is… it’s boring and sucks.

I would challenge that because it highly depends what you are watching on your TV.
Sure if you watch Soap operas and Talk Shows you don’t train your brain at all.
But if you watch complicated Thrillers, for example your mind is – or at least should be – working out who the killer is etc…
Documentaries can be very educational – and a good way to learn new things on a higher level because it audio and visual – the more ways you get information presented the higher the chances are that they stick in your mind…

This may look strange, but it works for me.

Iclose my eyes and image halls that have doors and paintings on the walls. This may sound simple but if you really focus on everything you are watching , like the walls, doors handles, colors, shapes, and try to completely immerse in that though. Dont think of anything outside that, just see every single detail. Then you are exercising your imagination

As a library media specialist I am more than happy to see the “reading ” factor. I wholeheartedly agree that reading stretches your mind. I have never been one for pop lit but I do see the popularity because it is considered easy and a page-turner so the title is completed faster than one that forces you to think.
I dont read avidly but I do read a good deal.
I went without tv for years and now Im back watching tv and I do find it relaxing. Mostly I watch movies. So my tv time is focused to the time of the movie. I will admit I also watch the junk tv here and there…
As for surfing the net. I do it so much for my job that its all over the place. Alot of zapping did bring me here, some focus usually helps, going astray sometimes can also lead you to good things!

John I agree with these principles. I summarize these to say: rest (sleep, away from TV)and stimulate (exercise and absorb challenging material) the brain.

I want to tickle the mind here…has the Internet replaced the TV for some of us?

I can spend hours here soaking up information on StumbleUpon, MNSB, Blogs on a variety of subjects that keep me in tune with current events, educate me on subjects which I would not have the time/money to acquire reading material. Some people do not know what a “Blog” is and they are Executives of companies, holders of Degrees but are only challenged in the rat race society to focus only on job-related material

Back to big bad TV…….relax with Grey’s Anatomy, stimulate your brain on History Channel, learn to prepare a meal with Rachel Ray, worship with TBN…get my drift.

Having a wide variety of sources of mental stimulation is a great way to become more agile, and the internet is a great place to do it. How else could I exchange thoughts with someone in Jamaica?

Lately, I have become much sharper by doing the following:

Put in much less time working on math or learning things.

Resting my brain and feeding my need for diversion.

More sleep, more exercise.

I find that now I can do better math research in lots less time because my rested and relaxed mind is sharper.

As in all things, it is about balance.

“Early to Bed, Early to Rise”

Wrong. While it’s critical to get an appropriate amount of sleep (though even this is debated… Buckminister Fuller managed on a couple of hours a day believe it or not), it doesn’t matter much whether you go to bed at 9 or go to bed at 12. In fact, studies show there is some truth to the “early riser” and “night owl” categorizations. That is, there may be something biochemically/physically going on to make someone one way or the other.

“Minimize Television Watching”

I’ll also have to say a couple of words about this. I probably watch 1 or 2 hours of TV a day, and it is almost always either the news or some documentary on PBS, National Geographic Channel, the Travel Channel, etc… Some of the shows I really enjoy are CNN Presents, Modern Marvels, How Things Work (is that the name of it?), and Good Eats (surprisingly informative show about cooking and it’s basic chemistry). Anyway, I feel like I learn a lot from watching TV, for the most part. I havn’t watched network shows (dramas, comedies, etc…) in several years. I simply can’t watch them, to be honest. They seemed aimed at the intellectually challenged.

I agree with everything except the TV and going to bed early. There is some evidence that TV actually increases your intelligence. If I didn’t watch TV, then I would be ignorant of a lot of world issues. I wouldn’t advocate watching it all day though. I’m at my most productive in the early hours, between midnight and about 2am, which was when I used to do all my university work. Some of us are morning people and some night people. Every time I’ve had a job which requires me to be up in the morning, I’ve felt awful, even if I’ve had 8hrs sleep. My gut doesn’t seem to like it either.

for as long as i can remember, i feel best when i get odd hours of sleep (ie. 3,5,7 or 9). if i wake up on an even number of hours, i’m groggy all day. isn’t that strange?

I am a fan of “we are what we eat”. It’s as similar as with cars and gas; If your gas sucks that your engine will malfunction. Better avoid meat and eat more vegetables. Prefer to eat more fish which it’s fish oil does good for heart and brain.

In addition to these 5 above mentioned steps, you will definately increase your intelligence.

All best Wishes,

I think many of you are arguing over semantics…what if John had said “complex intellectually stimulating” novels instead of “classics” and made clear that he was talking about mass media television, and not PBS/History Channel/Discovery/et al?
While Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Tony Hillerman (for example) don’t qualify as “classics” they certainly are intellectually stimulating.
Likewise almost no-one considers Ken Burns’ “civil war” or Sir David Attenborough’s “Life of Birds” to be mind-numbing but this is not mass media…it is aimed at a very small segment of the TV viewing audience – the segment that includes most of us. The point is to avoid dreck like Danielle Steele and MTV and commercial television in general.

I’m having trouble with the first one. Thing is, i do every single thing with the television on. It helps me not to think about other problems. Above all matters, i really want to use my talent and passion in the greatest way; which is in arts and painting. I had wasted years keep searching on ideas and creating a masterpiece, but accomplish nothing. I know this isn’t suppose to be a ‘therapy blog’ but can I have just ONE BIG tip/reason for me to just do what i have to do?

Just a couple more….
6) Thinking in metaphors.
7) Using your time efficiently.
8) Relaxing for idea incubation
9) Seeing and integrating both the micro and the macro. (ie think like a telescope, thinking like a telescope)
10) Think like chess. Anticipating the next move in competitive markets and trends.

Thos are excellent points ( I need to heed the sleep and exercise ones ), but you missed one!

Many video games have been proved beneficial to fluid intelligence, otherwise known as problem solving.

Different genres of video games have different levels of difficulty in terms of problem solving.

Even violent PC games such Half Life 2 require thought, timing and strategizing if you want to finish the game in a reasonable amount of time. Imagine you are faced with many hostile soldiers and very limited ammo. Which soldiers do you need to take out in order to reach the next point of safety? Which path should you take? You need to be resourceful.

Other games are outright puzzles, like the mind boggling Portal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_(video_game)

Others are somewhere in between, like Real Time Strategy games such as Company of Heroes. Which resource points are important to me at the moment? When is the correct time to make an offensive? When is the correct time to retreat? To achieve my next objective, what unit should I queue up now? And most importantly – you need to think quickly.

Also play other games such as checkers, chess, whatever. The idea is to keep a broad experience I reckon. Everytime you face a problem you need to (quickly) go into your “problem solving repetoire” and pick out a strategy. Of course to do this you also need a sensible sleep pattern and exercise.

Most of the points are good and I agree with them. However, there is one small problem with point 4, which morning people always forget – namely, night owls. Some of us, ARE more productive in the evening, regarless of habits, and pushing into what the majority thinks is productive only leaves us tired, unable to concentrate and often migrainous.

That’s some nice article but I think
something’s missing here – There’s no
planning. A program to increase our
intelligence can’t go too far just by
counting on some habit shaping. Certain
books should be read, certain curriculum must be
followed in order to achieve real results..
That’s my opinion anyway..

These are good steps to improve your memory and attention span.

I especially notice that my memory is affected when I don’t get enough sleep, but sometimes I just can’t sleep. I don’t seem to require more than five hours a night, and you are correct the opposite can also be true, too much sleep and I am lethargic.

I also find if I spend too much time on the computer my brain seems to turn to mush. Too much information. Also the glare is hard on my eyes and causes dryness. I try to limit my exposure. I also work all day on a computer so when I come home the last thing I need is more computer, but I love blogging so find I have to limit myself.

I find a variety of things are probably good. Too much of anything is not good.

I think all of them sound like good ideas except for number 4. Recent studies have shown an actual biological basis for the morning person/evening person distinction. Each person has a set of enzymes that are active at different parts of the day. When the enzymes are active, the person is more awake. When they are absent, drowsiness sets in. Morning people begin producing these chemicals as soon as they wake up. Evening people produce them later in the day. Hence, some people are more producting in the morning, whereas others are more productive later in the day.

As per my understanding, watching TV does reflect into boosting to intelligency power, But in TV waht’s are you watching that’s matter suppose you are watching some movie but not in your regional language that keep you always in good listening mode that can help you. But suppose you are watching a movie but in your own daily uses language then offcourse no benefit. Watch TV in other language( which you can understand but not too much use to), science fiction movie, puzzles program etc.

One thing more I am not agree that anyone can increase their intelligency level. You can increase your brilliancy level only. But again i am not sure too much and just reachearching on that myself…
As per my observation,
Brilliance = Intelligency + Knowledge
Intelligency is fixed thing that’s GOD gifted or you can say it depends on your birth period( 9 months in the womb of your mother)
etc Again i dont know more how to? If anyone know more please can you tell me. You can increase a lot of knowledge so you can increase your brilliance level but not intelligency level….

Hi

I like your simple yet effective ways to improve intelligence, sometimes too much advance thinking make us forget the basics. honestly I am often lack of sleep and have no time to exercise. I am a multi-talented person and I excel in any field that I want to excel, i always want to improve myself and always studying. I have an IQ of 145 and now I am doubting if I still have the same IQ score cause I am always tired and lack of sleep. My brain seems to be slower than it used to be and I am becoming forgetful. I guess sometimes becoming intelligent does not mean you can’t be stupid, sometimes we people tend to forget the basic and we became stupid. The common sense is now becoming uncommon sense. I like your article, there is not much scientific explanation just purely practical and yet effective. You did a good job

A comment on point #2: I read somewhere that exercise really does help, but in a very real and physical way. It causes more blood-flow to the brain which in turn expands the growth of blood vessels in it. This gives the brain a boost in oxygen and also causes neurogenesis (neuron growth)!

By far i agree with you in all aspect, as a muslim we are encouraged to always reflect and think about life and its creation. So in essence this has been communicated to us 1400 years ago when the prophet(peace be upon him) came. The mind by far is the greatest privilege human being has been bestowed with. Had we been created with animal instinct as animals, by far now we would have been extinct. Yes am refuting Darwin theory as it never existed.

As a returning student to college after a few decades I began to read about increasing my brain power. I’ve use several methods and found that they work including the ones mentioned here. After reading a list of problems that occur when eating refined sugar I decided to eliminate it from my diet. With the problems after the transition to digital tv, I tuned out by turning off and unplugging the television. Although it’s a challenge with study, the information, “Pick The Brain” has helped.

I agree 100% with the tips above. I would say another tip should be listen to classical music and learn how to play an instrument.I know for my self that this helps increase intelligence (at least for me). After focusing on a complex song and after playing something on the piano, I feel my mind becoming more clear and accomplished.

Masha Allaah! It’s a good one and I find it useful although I listen to classical nasheed of Abu Ali instead of music

I must say that it’s been 7-8 years ever since I more or less quit watching programs in TV despite my increased activity in computers/laptop. I realized that if you adjust screen brightness both in TV and laptop, your eyes don’t get ‘sore’ nor would you feel being drained with empty illusions.

Since everybody has told me “You can’t study for a test like the ACT or SAT” I decided that maybe by improving my overall intelligence that possibly my score would reach new heights. Although memorization plays a huge role in such test, so does concentration and sleeping habits (as you said). Cutting back countless hours of tv and getting to bed earlier has really made me more confident about taking the test again–and if it hasn’t actually helped me it’s at least put me into a better state of mind!

Yes, I would agree that “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” -Proverbs 1:7 After posting this I know that someone will accuse me of being a “stupid, narrow minded person,” but logically, think about the search for knowledge. Without a God, one could not have the ability to KNOW anything, because everything would be random, purposeless, and meaningless. Searching for knowledge and truth only makes sense in the context of a God because there must be a reason to differentiate between what is correct and what is not.

Great advice. Yes, I do agree that TV can lower intelligence. I rarely watch TV and despises reality shows. However, there are some exceptions such as programs for educational purposes. For instance, the history and discovery channels provide various series full of great information. Even a show such as Law & Order can enhance your knowledge on law and police enforcement. Also, only read subjects that you find fascinating to ensure that you can stay motivated especially if the books are challenging to read. Lastly, the most important improvement you can make is to interact with smart (and a positive attitude) people on a regular basis.

Learning the word of God is not the answer. It is quite possibly the most ignorant statement I’ve ever come across. Believing this means that anyone who doesn’t believe in the Christian God is not intelligent. This does not make sense. Increasing your brain power has nothing to do with what your religion is. Personally, I am an Athiest, but I’m not going to go around saying that becoming an Athiest is the first step to increasing brain power or intelligence. I find all religions interesting, in fact, I’ve read the Bible. Interesting story but it lacks a couple of key components, one being that the answer to all our questions is a one word answer, “faith”. Coming from a scientific point of view, faith is blind hope. But just because you have faith in something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Christian’s forget that there are no more facts to back up their beliefs than there is for any other religion. This makes them ignorant. People forget that the only reason why Christianity is so widely excepted is because all of the countries in North America were discovered and taken over by Europeans who were heavily religious. They forced their beliefs on the natives and eventually Christianity was the norm. Had this not happened, we would be living in a completely different world right now. It’s the classic situation in which, majority rules.

So before you go preach to the world about how the only intellects out there are the ones who know the “word of God”, remember that you have no idea what you are talking about. Because let’s face the facts.. Oh wait! Christians don’t consider facts. My mistake.

Jeremy you couldnt be anymore right if your were wrong. But you’re 100% correct. Well put dude. In my opinion, religion in today’s day and age is completely overated, if not watered down, that the bible is now used for what people want it be instead of what it actually is. Modern day sacreligion!
Intelligence has nothing, if anything, to do with the bible, religion or the like. Granted everyone has their own believes and im not one to discredit anyones personal god. But if youre a smart, normal, rational thinking human being then you would know that science overweighs fiction written in a book which has no proof of its contents – i am starving so believing im eating a nice juicy steak would satisify that insatiable appetite instead of actually eating one?!

Jeremy you couldnt be anymore right if your were wrong. But you’re 100% correct. Well put dude. In my opinion, religion in today’s day and age is completely overated, if not watered down, that the bible is now used for what people want it be instead of what it actually is. Modern day sacreligion!
Intelligence has nothing, if anything, to do with the bible, religion or the like. Granted everyone has their own believes and im not one to discredit anyones personal god. But if youre a smart, normal, rational thinking human being then you would know that science overweighs fiction written in a book which has no proof of its contents – i am starving so believing im eating a nice juicy steak would satisify that insatiable appetite instead of actually eating one?! Whats that saying “the proof is in the pudding”. Simply put, blind faith is a recipe for disaster. Good article tho

Well written, but poor content. It’s unfortunate that this is the top result when I search for “how to improve intelligence”. You clearly haven’t made an effort to research the science behind fluid intelligence and the most effective ways to improve it. You didn’t even qualify what you meant by “intelligence”. How am I supposed to measure if your advice works if you don’t tell me what I’m measuring?

Software like Dual-N-Back is little known but has shown to improve fluid intelligence by a significant percentage after a few weeks of use.

I want to become very intelligent and very smart, not remain dumb. I am having a problem of depression and depend on medicines prescribed by a psychiatrist.
I want to be alert, active, and very intelligent.

Please show me the way.

Meditation is one of the easiest techniques you can learn to refuel your body, mind and spirit. While many of us have heard of the benefits of meditation, few of us actually want to spend the time it takes to learn how to meditate. We often cling to stress, fear and anxiety because we think we need these things in order to function in this fast-paced world.

I’m so disappointed by people who judging this article as unfinished or incomplete. Let me tell you that, even nowadays, in the scientific and medical world, brain is still an unknown and unexplored part of our body in some fields. It titled 5 “SIMPLE” ways. As example, most of time, we neglect the fact that staying long time on watching TV weaken our brain capacities, and in my own life I’ve experienced it, so I think he’s right. Try first before judging, then you can argue efficiently!!!

Reading is reading. Whether you are reading a suspence novel or a classic, reading is great mental exercise. I happen to find many classics to be crap. On the other hand I love reading books like The Count of Monte Crisco although it is another suspense novel not much different than reading a suspense novel. For that matter Dumas never wrote those as novels initially. The chapters were weakly episodes printed in a magazine. Alexander Dumas was the original soap opera writer along with the likes of Charles Dickens. My personal favorite writer is Pat Conroy. He to is a suspense writer but I think you will find many other genres in his novels as well. Ironically he would argue that the best way to go is with the classics, but I still believe whether you are reading a suspense novel, classic or a comic book, reading is reading.

Plenty of sleep is a good tip, but early to bed early to is crap. That would indicate anyone working a graveyard shift at work would be by definition a moron. Get six to eight hours sleep depending on your body, I prefer eight to ten hours sleep and obviously learn to lucid dream.

Amen to the meditation paragraph.

Definitely exercise but even more specifically do ATM or awareness through movement lessons. Common sense dictates generic exercise won’t do you much good compared to ATM. You can look up ATM or Moshe Feldenkrais. Open ATM project can. Be googled easily and has many free lessons. If you have back pain or any other kind of pain this is the only exercise gaurenteed to help. Other exercise might help but this will help.

  People working graveyard shifts, aren’t morons, they do what they have to do to earn money. The person writing this article isnt saying that they are morons at all- but the fact is that people who do work graveyard shifts end up having health problems later in life.
  And on the reading… the more you exercise your brain the more intelligent you get. Reading is not reading, because sometimes you read without thinking about it- but if you really concentrate on your reading then you are exercising your brain, and therefore increasing mental aquity.
  My point is do research before you blatantly put your opinion up here. However, the author HAS done his research- most of this is proven by clinical trials and studies.

  Re: getting up early – you’re more right than you realise
  
  Psychology Today (followed up by many others) published research not long ago showing that the most intelligent people tend to get up much later than everyone else. In fact, you can predict kids who are going to develop very high IQs, and earn a lot more money, by how late they get up at weekends
  
  Why Night Owls Are More Intelligent Than Morning Larks
  
  http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201005/why-night-owls-are-more-intelligent-morning-larks
  
  And there’s a two-way cause and effect relationship, in that if average people go to bed and get up later, they also tend to score higher – although obviously not as high as people who do that naturally.
  
  So… makes you think the 9-5 working and school days are very geared against the most naturally intelligent/bright people in society. I prefer 8 hours sleep too. Although both getting that much sleep and getting up late negatively effect physical health to a similar degree. Can’t have it all!

Also depends on what TV you watch… Yes watching housewife’s of jersey or american idol yeah will dumb you down and thats part of what is wrong with society. Now watch something like Through the Wormhole or How its Made will increase your understanding and knowledge of the inner workings of the universe. Reading is even better but it can be challenging for some that are right brained to understand and myself to stay on a single thought process while reading. Tv with visuals are much more meaningful to me and I hate reality TV, soap operas, and other purely entertainment shows. Dont disregard TV as evil but used under the correct conditions and for the right reasons can be more valuable than a library full of books.

No memory

I have reached a horrible stage, I think I have became very stupid. I think big part of it is being rather lazy and not interested in over-working my neuron cells. I remember I used to do calculations without much pain before high school but later as I aged, I feel mentally challenged to do so. Even in my speech I stutter. I feel sad that I have become this way, that’s why, I got myself books and some puzzle game books.
Even memory I feel my brain is not sticky enough to keep certain info stuck in my head.
At times I feel I should check for early signs of Alzheimer but then I say maybe I am not trying hard?
I kind of scared but then I have to be strong. My mom and her auntie, a very old woman in her 80s, can still sing the lyrics of old songs and poems they learned when they were very young. But me, a much younger person is the one who is aging and going all senile. Seriously, I can not memorize or remember …singing a song has become challenge!
Should I check in for Alzheimer?
- short term
  
  i feel the same way
- trust me………
  
  I used to be that way. I was already looking out for help my self. I tried to use memory games, IQ puzzles and some other stuff but they became boring. It did not change until i began to tell myself ”i can” on my own, i tried to recall names, retell stories and do a lot more things that i used to do before no matter how long it took. You might think you cant but once you begin to put in daily efforts and not give your brain too much information, it will pick up really fast and stop being used to being pampered. So try to remember, no matter how long it takes. u will get used to it sooner than u think.

I’m very disappointed, you show how to steadily increase one’s intellect with no omission of mediocre info. Sorry, didnt enjoy it.
http://www.todaysration.com Inpursuitoftruth

I also think that it is important to note that while these ideas may help boost intelligence, intelligence does not come from reading and meditating alone. Intelligence comes from digesting other people’s opinions (not inculcating them into your belief system) and then independently developing your own ideas. While any college graduate could tell you (at least briefly) about the history and theory of government, very few could actually tell you their own theory of government. Reading while INDEPENDENTLY THINKING will not turn you into an encyclopedia, but rather meaningful contributor to intelligent thought.

I wouldn’t go as far to say only reading Challenging books will benefit you. Not everyone is going to start out by reading the andromeda strain or a tale of two cities. Any reading regardless of how light weight the novel is will benefit you. Your brain is a muscle and needs excersise like every other part of your body. Jogging is a great work out, but does that mean walking is meaningless and does you no good? You can’t expect a obese person to start off with a marathon, they need to start slow and progress. See my analogy? I think you have some valid points, but you’re incorrect in respects as we such as your number 3 suggest you do. No hard feelings.

Good web site! I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are
well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new
post has been made. Whether
shopping for soccer jersey online shop for children, youth sizes or adults, there are a few basics
to remember. Comfort is the key. No matter how flashy or cool a soccer uniform
looks, kids aren’t going to want to play hard in them if they’re uncomfortable
or ill fitted. A soccer uniform must be not only durable but also comfortable
and able to dry quickly. No one likes to play in sweat-logged clothing, and
soccer players are no different. When searching for the right Cheap soccer shirts online, select styles that are
specifically designed to wick moisture away from the skin and are also
lightweight. Well fitting shoulders should also be assured, as is the comfort
and tightness of sleeves. Many football shirts 2012 have been developed in both soccer uniform jersey and
shorts materials, and the amount of information may seem overwhelming.

Very interesting details you have observed, regards for putting up.

You can find 2011-2012
National soccer jersey that you need in your sports stores and you can also
buy them from online stores. At each of these stores you will need to select
the type of soccer uniform that is suitable for your team. After all you don’t
want the uniforms to be tight preventing movement. As there are many different
types of soccer uniforms you should have some fun in choosing Barcelona soccer jersey
that will let you play soccer and feel like one of the many world famous soccer
players

great, like this post. have bookmarked this page. will take time to read this post later. thx.

I had a
date yesterday. I thought it was going well, until I showed up. It wasn’t bad
compared to some of the days I’ve heard about, but still – I had 2011-2012
club soccer jersey, howdy! They were not met. First for some
background. I met him on Saturday night at the clubs. Now I know we were both
drinking, but I didn’t think he could have spoken so well for so long, if he
was tanked. I’ve since found out I was wrong. So, we swapped numbers. As a
joke, he put in his phone as the hot chick. Turns out it wasn’t a joke, he just
couldn’t remember my name. I know 2011-2012
National soccer jersey because at the movies, he asked me
what my name was. Good start to the date. Actually, I lie. The date started
when I saw him. Now, in my mind, this was a date, so I’d made an effort. I was
wearing Barcelona
soccer jersey for God’s sake! His outfit, while matching, could
have doubled as a soccer uniform. And before you say anything, no, he wasn’t
coming straight from a soccer match.

Some things tht will give your brain a boost is something in health, wealth and happiness. Try to improve ones thoughts. When the brain is filled with clutter it will not work right. Try to look at things in many ways. It will make you see things differently.

Everyone is suggesting so many things only from one side of Behavior. But there is a hidden internal or endosomatic things which influence the brain and its chemicals. One such chemical is pantothenic acid, which can inculcate interest lines(Faculties inside Brain) on the types of subjects you are geared( Or born with)to do.Eg:- Photography, sports, reading, music, studies etc etc ..Also Many food items eaten in the correct way can influence the brain.

Unfortunately, I am incapable of abstract thinking, inductive and deductive reasoning, and crystallized knowledge.

1. Minimize Television Watching
Simplistic. TV is broadcasts of audio-visual programs. are college level video courses on public TV bad?2. Exercise
Very True.3. Read Challenging Books
true, but too simplistic. there’s many ways to challenge yourself they should all be valued. maybe someone is a visual learner etc.4. Early to Bed, Early to Rise
your not sleep deprived when you sleep in to 3 PM
My energy peaks after i’ve been up for 8 hours, although its kind of a problem lol.
should be:
get correct amounts of regular sleep and get direct sunlight (for health). but maybe we need sunlight all the time.5. Take Time to Reflect
I love this one. still, to each her own.
As soon as i saw this article and the simplistic items, i thought,
adsense site. some page thrown together that anyone could write.
This list reminds me of the Monty python meaning of life:

QUOTE: “Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now
and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and
harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”

Geesh, I do all these things ad infinite and at 54 years of age I still struggle with every new course I take. I don’t mean to sound self-deprecating, but it’s just really a fact. I have worked at the things you listed here for over 30 years and my ability to learn new things did not increase one iota. I have worked out regularly for over 22 years (weight training, bicycling, tennis, basketball), I went from knowing nothing of math to advanced calculus (had to take every course 2 or more times), I read the most challenging material I can find, I study astronomy, computer science, quantum physics, and I still fail the most basic tests on any subject and still do not do as well as most entry level high school students. Most of my I life I thought innate intelligence was a myth, but have decades of practice for improvement I can say with moral certainty some things come easier for others, and for people like me it does not matter what the subject is or how easy it is always a major struggle. But that’s ok. I’m getting to old to be concerned.

I agree that it is important to reading challenging books because you will develop a superior mind-set and broaden your mental horizons. Learning from experts is better than reading just for fun. HOWEVER, reading for fun is also important, but this is not the case. There is always something exciting and new to learn from anybody. We all have different life experience and stories that we can share to one another.
Ekek_

You know what’s the problem with all these tips? They can’t be done like they should if you plan to do them. Like, say, reflecting; how can you reflect about anything when you don’t really have the motivation to do it and it is just a task you have to get done, and not an spontaneous necessity? I think the only real tip you need is: use your brain, and more important than to be enslaved to the phrase, is to practice it.
Pasadena Psychologist

Not bad ideas– really, the author is advocating living a less compulsive, cluttered life, and allowing yourself to have room for more consciousness and more thought. Too many people fill up most of their waking hours with compulsive, mindless “busy” activity, leaving little room for self-reflection or growth/expansion. As a clinical psychologist in pasadena ca, I work with patients every day who are slowing down and taking the time to be more conscious. Inevitably, those patients who make room for more self knowledge are drawn towards expanding their horizons intellectually as well. That said, there is a limit to how much you can expand intellectually. Ray’s comments, down below, make a valid point– for some people, learning does come more easily. Not everyone is blessed with the same core intellectual capacity. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t expand on what you have.

This is good Tips , but these tips won’t help you reading alone, you need to learn how to read fast so the brain don’t get tired. Humans read to slow and that makes the brain fall asleep. Try not to read the words ,just look at them and try to read 3 words at one time. This will get you a lazer focus and you will start imaging streaming in the mind. If you don’t get this focus your brain is not training, your distracted. / Johan from sweden

Good advice! I recently read an article on personal productivity that
explained that we’re only capable to function at “full speed” for 30/40
minutes – hence the need for frequent short breaks!

The opposite is also true: to be productive for 30/40 minutes, you’d
better turn off your IM, email, and other devices that keep interrupting
you during the day

I find pausing helps–for instance, in a push up, push slowly to raise your body, pause when your body is raised, hold, then slowly lower back down. Doing exercises slowly makes you really feel it.http://www.promstreet.com/products/party-dresses/one-shoulder-party-dresses/c-68/

Watching TV DOES help if you are watching informational channels like History or Discovery or even the Food Network. If you’re watching cartoons, analyze how many pictures the artists might have to draw to create this cartoon, and how long it would take. A high IQ means gathering information from where ever you can and processing that information with your own intuition as much as you can. ANALYZE everything, but don’t stress yourself out. It’s OK to not analyze specific things. But you should generally build an interest in analyzing most things.

Don’t be picky with the type of books you’re reading. Authors put a great amount of time and effort in placing subliminal messages in even the most theoretically-bland novels. As long as you are able to analyze details, speculate on patterns, reasons as to why the author wrote in that style or why he chose a certain word, your IQ will increase.

Not only should you take time to reflect, but you should reflect almost all the time. This is especially hard for the S type personalities, because they live in the present world of what they see, hear, touch, smell and physically feel. It’s also hard for certain NF types. (read about jung/briggs personality types). Also take the personality test and find out what you are, do some research about your personality (how you process data and view the world), and you’ll get a solid idea of where you stand and what your weaknesses are. I’m a mixture of an ENTJ + INTJ where my E is at 1% if you’re curious. I can be very social but I can also be to myself. Either way I LOVE to think and organize my thoughts.

Getting sleep doesn’t help you increase your IQ, although it does give you energy for motor functions and cognitive thinking when you do read those books. Sleep is health maintenance. Exercise as well. Eat organic foods. but using your brain is what will actually increase your IQ.

This is a great list, especially since you put television first. I’m encouraged by how many people I meet, especially younger ones, that don’t own or watch television. Every study shows television “hypnotizes” regular watchers and makes them subject to endless ads and propaganda. How can that not lower intelligence? Judgment at the very least!

And it arguably lowers metabolism and leads to higher weight, even if you don’t feel a deep need to procure and eat the advertised junk food.

http://www.smartmemorypower.com/ James Gladwell

Couldn’t agree more with the TV watching. There’s so much garbage on TV that has no real value or merit at all. It’s amazing how many people just go home and sit in front of the TV for hours, not interacting with anyone or anything.

One other idea that adds to the Exercise tip is to actually challenge yourself physically to learn to do something new.

Something as simple as a weekly salsa class can help increase your intelligence and your memory as it stimulates parts of your brain that are otherwise fairly dormant.

Doing new things makes your brain make new physical connections (neural pathways) in order to accomplish the new activity. This helps your brain work more effectively in all aspects of your life.

Taking the time to reflect is crazy powerful. Lately I have been taking time everyday to ask myself “What will make today a 10?”. I then write down my answer and try to accomplish those tasks.

It has been very powerful because it forces me to really identify what would make my day wonderful – then I go out and live it. Everyday my answer changes, which also keeps my life spontaneous and exciting.

I love the practical nature of this post. It makes it so darn easy to implement.

Thank you for giving the most brilliant ideas and helping me to avoid watching tv much.
http://twitter.com/BelieveDeLuxe Lesetja Lekoloane

But I really don’t go with the first part-”Do not watch TV “. I will rather say “Some Programs”. Some other TV shows are educational and you have to remember after all that intelligence has to do with surviving in various life situations. TV News are also important, you can’t make right decisions if you don’t know what’s going around you. OK?

Hi John, these are so simple yet so effective! I’m a little bit of a late sleeper and I do get up late as well, it seems many things are pointing to tell me not to – including this post! I also plan to do more exercise, I am guilty too of reading instead of exercising too. Thanks for the post!

Why do some brain damaged patients recover while others with the same brain damage do not? Metastudies by Kurt Fischer, Christina Hinton et al. shows that the key is tolerant environments. This agrees with Francisco Lacerda’s theory that the reason why children learn language easily is because they do not fear being wrong, just like non-prejudiced scientists. The fact that the tolerant environment factor works even way past the end of all supposed “learning windows” also shows that there is no such thing as an immutable “shame instinct” either. There is evidence, especially from domestication research, showing that evolution can very rapidly select on individual variation and turn it into group differences. Thus there is a contradiction between nature explanations of individual psychiatry and nurture explanations of ethnic differences. There must be some missing methodological factor. Since racist discrimination is a form of intolerance often associated with other forms of intolerance, studies of ethnic differences effectively takes the tolerant environment factor into account, explaining why nurture explanations prevailed in studies of ethnic differences. But studies of individual psychiatry have, at least before Kurt Fischer’s and Christina Hinton’s metastudy, not taken the tolerant environment factor into account, explaining why nature explanations prevailed there. It is well-established that there was/is anomalies from the nature model of individual psychiatry, but people ignorant of the metastudy lumps everything into one statistic and dismiss the minority of cases as “anecdotical”. Real science is about finding the pattern behind the anomalies to de-anecdotize them, just like Kurt Fischer and Christina Hinton did. And considering how stupid behavior is destroying the world (just look at pollution and deforestation!), this research about possibilities to change behavior to a rational form is invaluable. The fact that the plasticity only applies if the environment is tolerant means that there is no reason to fear that dictators will abuse the plasticity whatsoever. And stop generalizing about all TV. Scientific documentaries are like reading good books.

Thank you for a great advice, John! I loved that you brought up the importance of minimizing TV watching. It has been over four years since I have limited watching TV and stopped watching news and I have never regretted it.
What I wanted to ask you is Do you think that there are different ways we can be smart? I’ve read a theory about 9 Different Types of Intelligence by Dr. Howard Gardener and I believe that he is right. I actually wrote a post about it on my blog just this past week:

They’re terrible tips. Please name your sources. Maybe getting enough rest is a good tip, but the other tips are personal opinions. I have friends that watch a lot of TV and are engineers. Reading challenging books only make you good at reading. They’re not going to make you an innovator, or someone creative who will create the next invention. Exercising relieves stress but doesn’t make you smarter. No athlete is a brain surgeon. You get smarter by eating the right foods. Taking plenty of Fish oil and Omega 3. They’re awesome for your brain. Def get plenty of rest and live a balanced, happy life. Open your mind. Explore. Open your mind and awareness. This allows for your consciousness to increase and allow new, fresh information into your brain. The brain gets stimulated only by things that interest you. You can absorb a ton of boring information. But if you’re not interested, your brain will only discard it after a month. Meditation is also good. Most people don’t know this, but when you meditate, you use 100% of your brain. We normally use 8-12%. Which is not much. lol. That’s pretty much it. People today think that the smartest person is the one who can memorize the most information. But that person is not going to be a CEO or an Einstein. Remember, its not about solving a formula. Its about creating your own formula. And that only comes with exploring and expanding your mind. Einstein never said he was smart. He said he was creative. And that allowed him to explore the unknown and revolutionize physics. Enjoy life. Face your fears, and open your mind.

Erm the TV stimulates your senses and teaches you a hell of a lot (depending on what you watch). I stoped reading when I read that.. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about
masum

i reckon the number 4 and 5 is the best to enhance one’s intelligence.if you want to know yourself precisely then i think you should pass at least a short span of time alone to think yourself and also how to develop your skill. though i never follow the number 4 which states ‘early to bed , early to rise’,i deem it outright.and the less you give time to watch t.v. the more you can save your valuable time to think yourself and also bounce back if you are in a steep plunge….

My main trouble is to do with getting to bed earlier and a distraction by the TV. I find that after reading what you have written it clearly has opened my eyes to not be so dependant on useless subjects like that. Further more, I need to go to bed earlier but it is so difficult for me as my mind is in constant movement on what I need to do for tomorrow. I find it a lot more easier, since I go to bed one hour earlier than I had intenended to go. Most of all John, I thankyou for putting the commitment into writing this post to share all around us. So thankyou.

Understanding how your mind works by Tony Mc Mahon .Most of us go through life without really understanding our conscious mind .What makes us have good days and some bad days .Without understanding how the mind works you will be on a fascinating with me on learning more about yourself It’s all about becoming a bit more aware of when and where to focus your mind .This is a skill most people only dream about .You can learn more about the conscious and your subconscious mind every week at [ mental training & inproving life skills ] plus more parenting tips .
