<p>Actually, considering neuroplasticity and the general malleability of the brain, learning vocabulary words can lead to new neural connections that may allow for increased speed and efficiency in abstract reasoning and the like. Not to mention, a lot of IQ tests are heavily dependent on crystallized intelligence.</p>
<p>Aside from learning new words and accumulating knowledge, I suspect that studying things like pure logic and mathematics will also rewire your brain and allow you to score higher on IQ tests. Just ask anyone whose taken the LSAT before and after a course in symbolic logic.</p>
<p>It has been shown that what separates ultra-high IQ people from everyone else is brain organization. Brain organization can be changed.</p>
<p>Well according to this only 140, but I’ve been tested to see if I have mental illness and was told my IQ was “very high” a couple years ago. Have gotten smarter since. It wasn’t an official IQ test but I do score near or at the ceiling on some of the teasers online.</p>
<p>I would not say that any of these aforementionned tests are IQ tests in any shape or form… they do test skills that correlate with intelligence but the correlation is IMO too weak to actually qualify any of that stuff as an IQ test. Still, I find this calculator rather… amusing to say the least.</p>
<p>If you’re using recent GRE scores, make sure you’ve converted the scores to the old format; tried my scores under the new format and it got me a highly questionable estimate: 61. With my scores converted to the old format, 149 it is. Still somewhat questionable though.</p>
