Features: Mensa is the name of the world's top IQ club, established in Oxford, UK in 1946 by lawyer Belleir and scientist Welch. They intended to create a society for the intelligent, where members' high IQs would be recognized and continuously improved through challenging club activities, and they would share their sense of achievement. This book attempts to challenge your wisdom in various ways. In an era that overly emphasizes physical fitness, our intellectual development has been neglected. Schools only teach academic subjects, yet they do not focus on teaching people how to learn, how to improve their attention, or how to overcome the fear of certain disciplines. This book targets exactly this deficiency. The author is a systematically trained statistician, and the numerous tests he has created can help us self-assess our intelligence in crucial learning skills, attention, numerical language ability, decision-making, and creativity. After all, in situations requiring high concentration, a single oversight can lead to a catastrophe. I believe that with persistent practice, improving intelligence is entirely possible. Indeed, sometimes certain things can make us reluctant to learn, such as an innate fear of numbers. However, the numerous suggestions and methods, efficient hints, and clues provided in this book are enough to help you overcome these difficulties and improve this adverse state.
