text: how can i raise my iq??   some good ways are:   1) attempt to expand and increase your vocabulary.  there is a section in reader's digest that usually makes this one fun way to learn; 2) try solving lots of different word puzzles, there are a few good ones on here --they can be either riddles or mathematical puzzles; 3) try to do puzzles that require 'spatial' thinking or visualizing three dimensional objects; 4) practice pattern recognition, such as puzzles which ask you to find the next letter or number in a sequence of numbers; 5) practice doing the "jumble" puzzles or try and create anagrams from other words; and 6) do a lot of reading and writing!
