Read many useful books. You will become knowledgeable. Intelligent? I do not know.

If you are asking how to become an intelligent person, the answer is hard work. If you are of normal intelligence, then read everything you can about a variety of subjects. For subjects you like, read as much as you can. For subjects you aren't that interested in, but want more knowledge, try taking a class at the local community college. Join book clubs and listen to others' opinions. Ask questions. Find a mentor, someone you respect, admire, and trust, and invite them to lunch or dinner to discuss their career, why they chose it, what they had to do to get where they are.

Sit and listen to the elderly. Intelligence is not how much knowledge you can cram into your brain, it's how you use it and whether or not you realize you could always learn more (you can!). That's the beginning of wisdom.

Sit and observe...everything. Sit in nature and see what happens, write in a journal every day. Watch people walking by on the street in different parts of your area, watch them where they eat, shop, etc.

Listen to little kids explain something they don't understand. They don't know, but they are willing to guess even if it's wrong. Then when they find out differently, they don't get their feelings hurt, they incorporate it into their knowledge base.

Believe in yourself, think and listen with your mind and heart wide open. Don't think someone hasn't something to teach you because they are poor, mentally handicapped, sick, old. etc. etc. etc.

Study a different culture from yours. See if you can put yourself in their shoes and understand their joys and fears.

The world is a wonderfully open book if we're willing to read it. Enjoy the journey. It is amazing!

Have fun,

Asha

"... can you increase your IQ score? There is some evidence that children develop higher intellectual ability if they receive better nurturing and diet as babies, and a higher degree of intellectual stimulation in preschool tends to boost children's IQ scores for a few years of elementary school but does not permanently increase IQ scores. For the most part, adult IQ scores don't significantly increase over time. There is evidence that maintaining an intellectually stimulating atmosphere (by learning new skills or solving puzzles, for example) boosts some cognitive ability, similar to the way maintaining an exercise regimen boosts physical ability, but these changes aren't permanent and do not have much effect on IQ scores.

So your IQ score is relatively stable, no matter what education you acquire. This does not mean that you can't increase your intelligence. IQ tests are only one imperfect method of measuring certain aspects of intellectual ability. A lot of critics point out that IQ tests don't measure creativity, social skills, wisdom, acquired abilities or a host of other things we consider to be aspects of intelligence. The value of IQ tests is that they measure general cognitive ability, which has been proven to be a fairly accurate indicator of intellectual potential. There is a high positive correlation between IQ and success in school and the work place, but there are many, many cases where IQ and success do not coincide. "

Most precisely, intelligence refers to the capability of the mind for abstract thought, reasoning, and learning. In practice, the term includes whether you actually use your mind to learn and think. Your mental skills do sharpen somewhat with use, but your innate mental capacity doesn't change much. Whether you think and learn is up to you.

You cannot become "intelligent"- your mental capacity is mroe or less fixed. However, yuo can still learn most things through lots of hard work.

Eat lots of fish. Make sure it's salmon. Eat like, 8 pounds a say. Oh wait, that's mercury.

Be open minded, read things, and experience life (that doesn't mean partying... it means going on hikes). If you can't do that, then you're screwed.
