How to get high IQ

We all want high IQ, isn't it?. Some of you might think it is very difficult to get high IQ but do you know it is very easy to get high IQ with proper technique. The one thing you require is to follow right technique and time and dedication.  

With the help of this post let me guide you how we all can get high IQ just by following few simple steps.

Before listing all the steps, let me tell you a story-

In college, I read about my favorite author, Isaac Asimov, when he went to school. He said that when he studied, he would take the first week and read ALL his textbooks, cover to cover. While everyone else was meeting, and partying, he isolated himself and simply read. I decided to try that too. I read all the assigned textbooks. A lot I did not understand. Much was Greek to me. I didn't know what was important or not or what I was supposed to glean from the readings. Some I got. Some I didn't. But then something happened. When I went to classes, the teacher would lecture... and I would understand a lot more than my peers. They thought I was a genius, but it was just that I had read ahead. Most students didn't read their assignments until AFTER the lectures and because of that much of what they heard was lost. Somehow, perhaps by the reading, I understood more. I had read but not understood, but I was somehow primed for his explanations and found that what I had read before, I now made sense. Sometimes I could see where he was going. How this current chapter led to the next. In history class, I could see how this event would lead to that next one that my classmates did not know was coming. While most of my classmates struggled and were lost and confused, I found that everything I did was basically review. I found I could frame more intelligent questions, and the instructor gave more meaningful answers. Indeed, many lectures consisted of the professor having a conversation with me in the front row, while everyone else listened, often confused and lost (they were often unwilling witnesses of unseen events). The instructor was grateful that SOMEONE 'got it'. Thereafter, I did this every term. Where I had entered college afraid I would fail and drop out. I found myself excelling far beyond my peers. I changed my major from biology to physics... and completed my coursework in two years. My third year I worked at Argonne National Laboratories as an undergraduate research assistant. My senior year, I transferred to University of Illinois and earned a second bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, in only three semesters.

So, How to get high IQ?


  1. By asking questions endlessly.
  2. Reading ahead.
  3. Reading extensively, and going wherever your curiosity takes you. 
  4. Enjoy the journey. 
Curiosity is the greatest gift that you do not want to waste.

Stay hungry and be foolish.

How to Read the Right Way: A Complete Guide

The nature of books has evolved. Society and technology have changed. Forcibly, our approach to reading has taken on new forms to accommodate a different way of life. The question is: For better or worse? Although books give us new ideas, spark discussions, and explore topics in detail, the same information can be delivered in a variety of formats. When it comes to exactly  how  we should absorbing books, the debate rages on. Let’s take a look. The Effectiveness of Speed Reading Since the 1950s, speed reading has been touted as an effective way to get through reading material quickly. Scientists, psychologists, and teachers have come up with methods to increase reading speed, whether through manual tools or visual movements. At the World Championship Speed Reading Competition, top contestants can reach 1,000 to 2,000 words per minute. Six-time champion Anne Jones reached 4,200 words per minute at one point. Those rates seem phenomenal compared to the  ...

I'm 25 years old and I want to become a millionaire by 35. How do I do this?

A bit of simple advice that works for any age. Copy what millionaires do. I’ve studied over 40 millionaires and finally found out their secret to wealth. It took me a long time to piece together the puzzle, but I’ve finally figured it out. Here’s the golden question: What do Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and Tonny Robbins have in common? Besides the mulah...they all  read . Yep - reading. Don’t believe me? Let one of the most successful and admired entrepreneurs tell you... Musk built four multibillion-dollar companies by his mid-40s -- in four separate fields (energy, software, transportation and aerospace). How is that possible?  Because he reads. SpaceX co-founder, Jim Cantrell, mentions Elon Musk’s passion for reading, He'd been borrowing all my college textbooks on rocketry and propulsion. You know, whenever anybody asks Elon how he learned to build rockets, he says, 'I read books.' Well, it's true. [...

There Are Two Ways to Read — One Is Useless

Reading is telepathy, and a book is the most powerful technology invented. Homer, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Woolf, Hemingway — these are names without a living body. We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word. Aristotle’s logic, Kepler’s astronomy, Newton’s physics, Darwin’s biology, Wittgenstein's philosophy — these are memes without living originators. They no longer champion their ideas, and yet, we still talk about them. Without books, humans would never have escaped the boundaries of space and time. Each new generation would have had to learn the realities of life for themselves rather having the luxury to build on the past; knowledge accumulation would have quickly dimmed towards an asymptote. Everything that we value in the modern world has its root in invention of writing. Everything that we have accomplished has come from reading. Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...
