Can Reading Lift Our I.Q? (Vanquish the Myth)

Are all three major areas of intelligence heightened by the practice of reading? Clear Evidence and Common Sense Cognitively Point to YES!

New scientific studies have unequivocally confirmed that there sure enough are strong correlations between our three areas of I.Q. and the Practice of Book Learning. This new evidence has collectively been confirmed, reviewed and studied through new testing methods by neuroscientists and psychologists from right across the globe. All this new collaborative scientific awakening contrasts steeply with many years of the mistaken old belief that reading had little or no effect on one's actual I.Q.

The many various levels of I.Q.Tests – some involving Word Vocabulary, which do have a reliable influence on how smart an individual actually is – the ability to work with words practically and spacially.

We take on the real working potential of building and nurturing new ways and methods of steering ourselves through this world and those around us in an applicable way that subsequently lifts our I.Q. Levels.

Let's take a look at the three main I.Q.Areas. Firstly we have "Crystallized Intelligence" – widely seen by psychologists and neurologists as the assemblage of the knowledge that 'fills' our brain. (This Intelligence is the one that uses learnt experience and knowledge). This Crystallized Intelligence is exponentially increased by the act of applied reading..
