Are You Smarter Than You Think? 160 Ways to Test and Enhance Your Natural Intelligence
A high score on an IQ test is not the only way to determine our brainpower or how successful in life we will be. While IQ assesses important aptitudes such as our logical, verbal, numerical and spatial reasoning skills, true practical intelligence--the kind we rely on in our everyday lives---goes beyond these skills. Other more 'hidden' talents like our creativity, intuition, emotional sensitivity, appreciation for the natural world and physical ability are just as essential for solving problems, creating strong personal relationships, and overcoming life's challenges. With 160 scientifically proven self-tests and tips for improvement, this comprehensive guide shows you how to build the innate and wide-ranging power of your mind. Fun and easy to use with lively color illustrations throughout, Are You Smarter Than You Think? will astonish you by revealing not only how smart you actually are, but how smart you can be. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - Used Item: 461194964
