RE: INCREASE YOUR IQ BY LEARNING A LANGUAGE
However I'm of a similar belief to you in the sense that IQ tests can vary depending on your mood, your mindset and the questions
Yes, especially the questions; for instance I tend to be quite good at the shape and number questions, however some grammatical abstractions really get me.
I love the fact that you answer Italian with Thai! Perhaps you could work out a completely new language :-) I don't know who it would be useful for beyond yourself, but it would be fun. You could call it Thailian :-)
Unfortunately for me if anything I am completely burnt out, and at times I feel like I have genuinely become stupid as I find it hard to absorb information like I used to.
This is because of the sheer amount of info there is to take in; funnily enough I'm just writing a post on that . . .
Just remember intelligence is fluid not fixed; you can always improve on areas you want to :-)
I have been told I have a mild form of Aspergers (Although I've never actually been diagnosed, I researched it last year and a lot of the symptoms pretty much described my life while growing up...) and one of the things with that is I can intensely focus on monotonous tasks. So whenever an IQ question comes up with numbers or something that most people would feel bored about, I zone in on it and the IQ test tends to work in my favour in that respect...
Ha ha! Yeah, I tell people I speak Thai-Talian. It is embarrassing at times because now literally no one can understand what I'm saying, but hopefully a few people get a laugh out of it!
Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to improve on things like memory at the moment. It's good to know that I can make it as good as it used to be. I'm looking forward to that post, let me know when it comes out :-)
That's what I love about the human race, is even things that we consider to be ailments or handicaps can come in useful from time to time.
I really want Thaitalian to catch on :-)
I will keep you posted on the next article :-)
