My mother believes that either someone has it or they don't. I believe in induced genious, where you can develop a genious on your own, by practice. I don't see why anyone would have to be grounded to their disability. Is this the right attitude? Is this rational or irrational, or can be used as a motive?

This is apart of integrated thinking, which I believe strongly that it promotes genious as well as induced genious.

Frankly, the mental age HAS to increase to keep the IQ constant. Who says it has to increase at the same rate? If it increases faster, your IQ goes up! Frankly, I don't see HOW it could be just FIXED! BTW they have ALREADY proven that the brain CAN grow!

Mind Magic - Cant remember the author

Either way, the book explains how IQ tests aren't great measuring sticks and how anyone can have the mind of Einstein

McGraw Hill

John Laurence Mill

I do recommend it - you learn a lot about how to best use your mind for the way you are. It might help a few people to learn that if they find themselves having difficulty at school :idea: 8)

MIGHT be fun for everyone? Ya, I'm a geek but I'm a cool one, trust me. Mind stuff interests the living piss out of me. Like now, I just urinated a bit because I thought about it. Wicked stuff
