Genius & Easily Raising Your IQ

Do you want to raise both your IQ and intelligence? I'm the person to help you do so. I'm a member of 16 high IQ societies including Mensa, the Triple Nine Society (for people with IQs in the 99.9th percentile and above – mine is above) and I was honored in Michigan's House of Representatives for winning a global election to become the World Genius Directory's 2016 Genius of the Year for America. This video will show you how to build the intellectual foundation necessary to propel your intellectual progress forward. These steps are deceivingly easy to implement and can truly change the quality of your life.

It's always heartening to see people at the far end of the IQ spectrum presenting as humble, patient, and encouraging human beings who want their fellows to succeed. Thanks, Jeffery.

I'm 65 and retired with an engineering background. This is the best advice, in a nutshell, I've ever heard in my life.

„Silence is the best way to be human.“ Thank you Jeffery - this is emotional IQ at highest level.

[DanandDonna]

Math brings me to tears in two minutes. One parent was kind of helpful. The other parent lived to scream at me while I was doing homework. The WORST!  I never got over it. Reading, same. I taught myself how to read at 40. Love books. This is a good video. Thank you so much.

22 years old here, and you have been right on point in taddressing solitude and daydreaming as the key to an active intellectual life. I've always been a very introspective and introverted person and daydreaming has been a constant in my daily life since I was 9. I never had the chance to develop typical friendships with peers my age, so daydreaming was a way for me to be occupied and it's done it's job in making me feel less alone. I recommend the book Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World by Michael Harris. It's one of my comfort reads and there is a lovely section in one of the chapters addressing the importance of daydreaming to reinforce a sense of self-identity.

Notes (Disclaimer: English is not my 1st language):
The speecher has IQ in the 99.9 percentile and he believes that:
-IQ can be almost always raised since the external context we grow up in is far from perfect.
- to raise IQ you need a good foundation:
- how to listen = arguing comes often from not listening to others. To be a good listener be active (i.e. shut down the internal voices in your head and ask questions). Through listening we can "steal" technical experience of people, so do it. While listening, suspend judgement (often the speaker justify a statement after he has made it, so let him explain to have a better idea of what is being said). Take notes (e.g. while talking with the doctor).
-how to read INTELLIGENTLY= for everything you read consider always the source. Consider the age and the context in which the author is writing (age, historical phase, geography, gender). Ask yourself who published the material. Think about the date of publishing.
-attention span= you want a good attention span because a good working memory it's a prerequisite for high level thougths. To do this: learn to be comfortable both in company and while alone (to do that you can create a good environment). Also, you need to have a very special interest where you reach a state of flow. Then apply this state of flow capacity to other things.
-Diet= know how different foods affect you.
Mental syntax= it is necessary to develop higher level thoughts. You need good grammar skills to think better.
Vocabulary= most people think in words. The more nuanced your vocabulary the better your thoughts.
Music & Math= both help develop mental syntax. Those 2 combined with language skills give you a very solid
foundation
Environment= you need a place where you can stay at peace with yourself (inside or outside your house). Give yourself time to daydream (the foundation of invention) and a space where you can hear your thoughts (society always wants to tell us what to think, learn to listen to yourself)
Other people= get involved with other people as they know yhings that you don't. People change people.
Great books= read great books . If you read good grammar you learn good grammar.
Music= listen to classical music. Not all music is good for your mind.
Museums= go to museums.

High inteligence is nothing without discipline and work. I am a smart person. I am being humble and there will always be someone above me, but I speak 7 languages at 17, grade A student, a great speaker have a high sense of awareness. Yet for all these years I was useless, just looking at a screen and doing nothing. Now i am a business owner, am studying 3 more languages and doing that all while exercising and working consistently. In life, emotional inteligence is way more useful. You must stop wanting and thinking about and instead do. This guy is an example of both. Take notes.

[garbojaxmcbruce]

This guy is such a bro, it's amazing

[gaiseric]

Those who are truly intelligent show humility. I have met many smart people in my college years, but the smartest of them in my courses were as humble as this man here.

[operatorpsikh]

This man is handing out pure gold. I hope I will nurture my children and give them the opportunities I didn´t had.

Jeffrey, I have known many bright people in my life, most self-proclaimed, but you encapsulate not only a bright mind but a wise soul — and that is true genius. It is clear that you care for and think deeply about your fellow human beings, and it is important to you to help them live productive and as creative lives. You, and your videos, are inspiring — you are helping many people you do not know to become the best people they can be. I hope you continue your video series — this may be your most important life’s work as it lifts up and inspires so many of us. Stay well my friend, and may God grant you many more years healthy and happy years on this earth.

I can't think of a good reason to why you don't have more subscribers. This is powerful information from a powerful man like yourself. Thank you for sharing and please share more.

"People change people. Allow the good ones to change you for the better." Nice.

I'm so glad a video like this exists. It's focused on sharing skills and techniques. Teaching people the how and the why of doing something practical. I'm a student who used to consistently perform in the top 1-3% in just about every cognitive skills, aptitude, and school based test for his entire life. I landed myself into medical school at the age of 18, living on my own, away from home. None of the comforts of my hometown - no familiarity, family, structure, community, schedule, church, or support network keeping me in check. I quickly fell apart. Everyone around me was suddenly just as intelligent as I was. I was no longer able to stand out so easily; i had to manage living alone, i didnt have anyone keeping me accountable, i had trouble keeping schedules on my own. No structure, no handholding by family or school, playing way too many video games, exercising too little, sleeping very late, sleeping very little, and eating horribly - if i eat at all. I feel like 1-2 years of this really left me without my former talents. I hope it's not too late. These skills will hopefully see me reacquire the levels of skill and talent i felt i had possessed some 2-3 years ago.

[sasukeuchiha-uitx]

its been 3 years and you still reply the comments...ur really sweet, loads of love to u jeffery from india

[madgiemadgie]

What a sweet and humble man you are! I was actually searching for videos like this in order to help my children this summer, because they have started slacking, academically. But as I listened, I actually started wanting to implement your suggestions for myself!! Thank you and God bless you🙏🏾

This is very interesting. From my experience, it seems as if I've increased my IQ over a 4 year span. I don't know if it's because of puberty, but I experienced a huge increase in mental capabilities around 9th grade. The year before, I got bad grades in a class, so I told myself I would get straight A's throughout all of high school. In 9th grade, I suffered daily to attend to my anxiety and lack of focus. Ever since that year, I've been getting better ever since. These tips seem to be true according to what I experienced over the years in high school. If I had anything to add (now that I'm writing this on the spot), then it would be to practice introspection and/or mindfulness meditation. For me, I was lonely in high school, so I spent most of my time alone. The world, as it truly is, really opens up to you once you train your metacognition to look at your thinking and behavior. I've learned to move past my enslaving psychological complexes.
