It is well known that there is no necessary connection between a person's IQ and their success. Recent research even shows that when it comes to being an overall high performer, IQ only accounts for about 25% of the importance.
This 3-year-old toddler, who has just outgrown diapers and bottles, is undergoing IQ training to help them pass the kindergarten entrance exam. Yes, you heard it right—whether in China, Japan, Taiwan, the U.S., or South Korea, for many parents who believe in "winning from the starting line," getting their child "admitted" into a good kindergarten is essential.
Using rigid tests to determine the intelligence of a 2-year-old might seem absurd, but for adults, standard IQ tests can indeed measure a person's IQ. Most people have an IQ around 100, and the smarter the brain, the more efficiently it operates.
In fact, adults can still find ways to increase their IQ. According to researchers, an average person can raise their IQ from 100 to 105 in about a month by practicing IQ-boosting games for half an hour daily, five days a week.
If the time invested seems disproportionate to the gains, consider another study. The results show that a person's overall performance in life is only 25% determined by IQ, while the remaining 75% depends on various acquired efforts and training. So, relying solely on a high IQ is not enough to make anyone a success in life. (Comprehensive report by Min-TV News reporter Wang Hao)
