How to Improve IQ, HOW TO INSREASE COQNITIVE POWER FOR INTW

While you can’t fundamentally change your genetic "baseline" IQ, you can significantly improve your cognitive performance and fluid intelligence (your ability to solve new problems).

Think of it like upgrading your brain's operating system. Here is the blueprint for a "Neural Upgrade":

1. Increase Working Memory (Dual N-Back)

Working memory is the "RAM" of your brain. The more data you can hold in your head at once, the more complex problems you can solve.

 * The Method: Use a task called Dual N-Back. It is one of the few brain-training exercises scientifically shown to increase fluid intelligence.

 * The Goal: It forces your brain to track visual and auditory stimuli simultaneously, strengthening the Prefrontal Cortex.

2. Relational Frame Training (RFT)

Intelligence is largely about seeing how things relate to one another (comparisons, opposites, hierarchies).

 * The Practice: Practice analogies and logic puzzles.

 * Why it works: RFT improves your ability to understand complex metaphors and abstract concepts, which is a core component of high-IQ testing.

3. High-Intensity "Deep Work"

Shallow thinking leads to a "lazy" brain. To improve IQ, you must push your brain to its limit regularly.

 * The Rule: Spend 60–90 minutes a day on a task that is genuinely difficult (learning a new programming language, advanced math, or a complex instrument).

 * The Result: This promotes synaptic plasticity, creating thicker neural pathways in the regions you are taxing.

4. The Biological Foundations

You cannot run high-level software on broken hardware.

 * Aerobic Exercise: Increases BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which is basically "Miracle-Gro" for new brain cells.

 * Sleep Hygiene: During deep sleep, the Glymphatic System flushes out metabolic waste (neurotoxins) that slow down your processing speed.

 * Fast Learning: Instead of reading, use Active Recall. Test yourself constantly rather than just reviewing notes.

The "IQ Boost" Routine

| Activity | Duration | Benefit |

|---|---|---|

| Dual N-Back Task | 20 Mins | Increases "RAM" (Working Memory) |

| New Skill Acquisition | 45 Mins | Builds new neural connections |

| Cardio (Zone 2) | 30 Mins | Boosts oxygen and BDNF levels |

| Deep Meditation | 10 Mins | Improves focus and "signal-to-noise" ratio |

> Pro Tip: Stop using your GPS for every trip and stop Googling every question immediately. Forcing your brain to retrieve information and navigate space manually strengthens the Hippocampus.
