And what is an "intelligence test?"
Life is an intelligence test. You are intelligent to the extent that your life consists of desirable results you produce. The relevance of traditional "IQ" tests is very limited. Some psychologists say that IQ tests primarily test the ability to perform in IQ tests!
The Most Powerful Intelligence Increaser
In order to produce more desirable results, we need to learn. In general, we live in a world in which things either get better or worse. Things seldom remain the same. If we stop learning we can expect that our ability to solve problems and produce desirable results gradually diminishes - our intelligence declines. By continuing to learn, we increase our ability to solve problems and produce desirable results - our intelligence increases.
But there is a much more powerful intelligence increaser. Imagine that every week - or even every day - you could find at least one little thing that accelerates your rate of learning. Think about it. Imagine that today you can find something that enables you to learn new things faster than you did yesterday. Tomorrow you can find something that enables you to learn new things faster than today. Try and imagine what kinds of things might be able to accelerate your rate of learning day by day. As you read this report, try to identify things you can apply to accelerate your rate of learning.
The Twenty-Two Elements of Intelligence
One way of defining something is to list its components. Fecundity or fruitfulness is a measure of the usefulness of a definition. I propose the following twenty-two elements of intelligence as a most fruitful definition:
Belief
Health
Consciousness
Knowledge / wisdom
Learning
Communication / feedback / feedforward
Skills
Integration
Creativity
Imagination
Freedom / change / flexibility / adaptability
Conation (or Will)
Brainpower
Self-discipline / self-control
Self-dependence
Business dynamics
Leadership
Mastermind
Success
Love
Life - biological or physical immortality
Semantics.
1. Belief
"Our beliefs are a very powerful force on our behavior. It is common wisdom that if someone really believes he can do something he will do it, and if he believes something is impossible no amount of effort will convince him that it can be accomplished.
... Our beliefs about ourselves and what is possible in the world around us greatly impact our day-to-day effectiveness. All of us have beliefs that serve as resources as well as beliefs that limit us...
Our beliefs can shape, effect or even determine our degree of intelligence, health, relationships, creativity, even our degree of happiness and personal succes." - Robert Dilts, Changing Belief Systems with NLP.
Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) could be described as the science of personal representational systems. The human brain can be described as a simulator. Something goes on in the brain that attempts to mimic, copy, simulate, or represent what's going on "out there." In our brain we've got "someting" that represents (or attempts to!) ourselves and what's out there. This "something" is a representational system or a structure of beliefs. Robert Dilts's book deals with the nature of belief systems and procedures for changing them.
"Is there a something, a force, a factor, a power, a science - call it what you will - which a few people understand and use to overcome their difficulties and achieve outstanding success?...
When I started out years ago to teach this science through the medium of lectures and my brochure, I wasn't certain that it could be or would be grasped by the ordinary individual; but now that I have seen those who have used it double and triple their incomes, build their own successful businesses, acquire homes in the country, and create sizable fortunes, I am convinced that any intelligent person who is sincere with himself can reach any heights he desires." - Claude M. Bristol, The Magic of Believing.
The first area to tackle, if you would increase your intelligence, is the domain of your beliefs about yourself. If you believe, like some psychologists might tell you, that your intelligence is a fixed quantity you cannot change... Mr. Bristol also wrote:
"I am cognizant of the fact that there are powerful forces at work in this country that would dominate us, substituting a kind of regimentation for the competitive system which has made America great among nations. They would attempt to destroy individual thinking and iniative, cherished ever since our Pilgrim Fathers established this country in defiance of Old World tyranny. I believe that we must continue to retain the wealth of spirit of our forefathers, for if we don't we shall find ourselves dominated in everything we do by a mighty few and shall become serfs in fact if not in name. Thus this work is written also to help develop individual thinking and doing."

Typically, your IQ will only increase 5-6 points because it is an intelligence quotient. It measures not how much you know, but your natural ability to reason and think logically.

Read a lot. Also, possibly try math puzzles. Some people say listening to Mozart helps too.
