Does the IQ have anything to do with how many percent of our brain we use?

Answer 1

When you understand a little about how the brain works, you realize that this concept isn't very meaningful.

The IQ number is sometimes considered a comparison to your mental age with your physical age. So it is recognized that your mental capacity does change with age. But it is generally considered that your IQ doesn't change over time. Testing generally supports this. So it's really a measure of your mental capacity compared to the population as a whole.

I have somewhat of a contrary view. It is well established that your ability to perform various mental tasks improves with use and practice. Since these skills are both what intellectual activity uses, and IQ tests measure, regular mental exercise of various kinds should improve both mental capacity and IQ test scores. The converse, also well established, is "Use it or lose it."

More to the point of your question, I believe strongly that most people don't make anywhere near the best use they can of the mental capacity they have, whatever that is. It's the most wasteful of all laziness. Man leads the animal kingdom in intelligence. It's the human capacity that's of the most value to benefit society and to benefit our own personal condition. More so the uniquely human capacity to know God, but that's a whole other subject.

Answer 2

"IQ" is not a real thing.
It is an artificial construct designed to measure mental performance based on assumed life experience.
If it measures anything, it measures performance in a specified enviornment regardless of the life experience of the individual being tested.
It may have little to do with the 'percent of our brain` we use, and a lot more to do with how we use it.
The analogy would be trying to determine the difference in efficiency between two computers running different programing or operating systems.
You're testing the whole package, not the computer itself.

Answer 3

No. It's a myth to say we only use a small percentage of our brain. If someone were to say that we only used 10% of our brain, then you could just cut out 90% your brain and be just fine.

The truth is that we use all of it.

Answer 4

No. You use all of your brain, just not all the time. The 10% thing is an urban legend, it's not true.

Answer 5

I think the IQ have to do on how much NEURONS of our brain we used. Also read "ARTIFICAIAL NEURAL NETWORK" it will help you thorugh NETWORKING how we NEURONS communicate with each other.
