Above Average IQ Score - A How
To Guide
The average IQ score is supposed to be
100. The tests are designed so that in theory half the population
will score below 100 and half above. They are also scored according
to age of the test taker. Below is a breakdown of IQ scores in
the typical population.
130 or higher: 2.2% of the population.
120-129: 6.7% of the population.
110-119: 16.1% of the population.
90-109 (Average): 50% of the population.
80-89: 16.1% of the population.
70-79: 6.7% of the population.
Below 70: 2.2% of the population.
Three Steps To An Above Average
IQ Score
Can anyone have an above average IQ score?
No. If you are starting at 70, you will likely never have a score
of 100. However, I believe that most people can raise their score
from wherever they start. Here are three ways to do this:
1. The first way is to learn how to be
a better test taker. Go through the test quickly, skipping over
questions you aren't sure about. Then return to those later.
It is better on a timed test to answer all the easy questions
first. You wouldn't want to have no answer for several easy ones
just because you spent too much time trying to get the answer
to a tougher one.
On multiple choice tests you should always
answer every question. If you are not sure first eliminate the
answers that you know or suspect are incorrect. Then choose one
of the remaining. If you can eliminate two of four answers on
a number of questions, you'll get half of those questions right
on average.
Note: Some will argue that this has nothing
to do with increasing your IQ, but only your score. They are
probably right, but as a practical matter, I would say that your
"functional intelligence" has been raised by learning
a skill (test-taking) that can help you in real life. By this
I mean that productive use of intelligence is more relevant to
life than some theoretical measurement of potential. - Steve
2. The second way to boost your average
IQ score is to have the right conditions in place. Sleep well
before the test, breath deeply through your nose, and sit up
straight. These things are shown to improve performance on almost
any test. Recent studies show that eating fish speeds up brain
waves and increases concentration, so you may want to try that
too.

To Have Good Luck
- You know that some people have more good things happen to them
than others, right? This book/course shows you how to be one
of those people. |
If you are allowed music during the
test, make it Mozart. Otherwise, listen to it just before the
test. In one study, subjects who listened to Mozart's sonata
for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448 for ten minutes before an IQ
test scored nine points higher. Do whatever you can to have your
body and mind ready for the test.
3. The third way to boost that IQ score
is to exercise your brain. This is a longer term strategy that
assumes you can actually permanently improve your brain function
and intelligence. It is a safe assumption in my experience, and
in any case no harm will come from the effort.
