Genius & Easily Raising Your IQ
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- Do you want to raise both your IQ and intelligence? I'm the person to help you do so. I'm a member of 16 high IQ societies including Mensa, the Triple Nine Society (for people with IQs in the 99.9th percentile and above - mine is above) and I was honored in Michigan's House of Representatives for winning a global election to become the World Genius Directory's 2016 Genius of the Year for America. This video will show you how to build the intellectual foundation necessary to propel your intellectual progress forward. These steps are deceivingly easy to implement and can truly change the quality of your life. Please remember to like the video and to subscribe to my TH-cam channel so that you'll be able to see all of the upcoming videos that will be focusing on intelligence and genius. Thank you!
Check out my TED Talk titled, “An Autistic Genius Discusses How Differences Make Us Special” It's been viewed on TH-cam now by over 90,000 people and I hope you'll be someone who gains something incredibly valuable from it as well! th-cam.com/video/iFsRbMxp8dw/w-d-xo.html
Called it. I knew you were autistic, bro.. i think i may be as well. My brother is an undercover genious as well. Ive heard him say things that blew my mind before.
Thank you for your generosity in offering understandings.
I believe us neurodivergent folks are more prone to awakening. Closer to our authenticity. I am self identified twice exceptional. Complex is simple and the simple is complex. Will check it out, would love to chat more
@@sabrinaszabo9355 Being born with Asperger's (a neurological condition that makes us even more unique than others) definitely allows us the perspective of seeing things from the outside looking in, while also being on the inside ourselves whether or not that is accepted and/or appreciated by the collective group thinkers that overpopulate and dominate the human herd.
Hey Jeffrey
Your speeches and your processes of thought are inspiring, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us, the world, the internet, for hopefully decades to come!
I sincerely hope there are more videos coming from you any soon on this channel!
They helped me so much understand myself, that I think I may be gifted as well and I love the Idea that there is a community.
Hope to hear from u soon!
Best wishes and regards from Switzerland!
It's always heartening to see people at the far end of the IQ spectrum presenting as humble, patient, and encouraging human beings who want their fellows to succeed. Thanks, Jeffery.
Thank you and you're very welcome. Other peoples success is often rewarding to far more people than just themselves. We enjoy a multiplier effect throughout our lives that tend to rise us up if we are flourishing in the proper conditions for growth.
@@jefferyford5309 you have given me some hope. I used to be pretty smart as a kid, but the environment I was forced to be around, as well as a bad diet, has severely lowered it. I'm 27 and want to go to college someday
@@DavidBloodJohnson It's great hearing from you again, David. I've heard it said that a persons past doesn't have to equal their future ... and it's true! The time you spent eating poorly and in whatever environment you were in doesn't define you ... YOU DO! Let go of the past, forgive yourself if necessary and move positively forward toward the life you most desire by making the best choices possible for yourself. One other thing, I used to tutor college/university students and many older students felt out of place in the classroom. Don't let that stop you because you will be an excellent example that will give hope to others AND you have 40 years left until retirement ago of 67. You have so much life ahead to live and to shine. Make your life extraordinary!
@@jefferyford5309 I'm just trying to figure out how to heal my brain, along with fighting with my autism diagnosis.
@Avocado Toast I appreciate the kind words, but I see it as a curse that I need to be rid because along with it i have a learning/intellectual disability, severe ocd, add/adhd, ptsd, intrusive thoughts, etc. I am doing this all on my own, and I'm 2 years past the age of a fully developed brain. My family abandoned me, and pretty much left me to rot. I will always see this as a curse to be rid of. I never even finished high school because I was kicked out. I may be too late for me to go through neurogenesis, and neuroplasticity. I'm pretty much screwed for the rest of my life. I can't eat normal food like everyone else. All of my interests are things that do not even contribute to society, but no matter how much I want to get away from those interests, my brain will not let me.

Jeffery Ford, thank YOU for creating the video!
Jeffery Ford hi, I'm a kid, my dad has an IQ of 160. He's considered a, "Super genius" He often says I could be a genius. That's one of my dreams. My mom tell's me, "Your not a genius. Your dad has a very high IQ, but is not a genius. Genius's have very hard life's and are introverts." I think that their's people who are smarter then you, everybody has an equal. A minor, and a superiority. I have ADHD, so attention span is hard for me, but I've figured out too control it... So, you've really helped me. I'm only 11, so I'm still not very. "Wise" But I'm still trying to imagine ME being a genius, I hope you see this...
Da real Mr crbs, I'm not Jeffery Ford, but thought I'd chime in. When I was growing up, I was in much the same situation. My father was, and is, a genius (on the IQ scale). Although, that does not mean it comes without character flaws, sometimes to a fault.
You're very humble for your age to understand that everyone falls within a spectrum, where there are always people above and below. My advice to you is to focus on learning as much as you can, exploring the world, and fostering your own curiosity. Don't pay too much attention to IQ scores or any other measure of intelligence. What matters the most is if you enjoy life, enjoy company, and have fun.
Vangus Khan thanks, it's kinda hard too match up too a, "Genius' if you know what I mean.
This man literally saved me from suicide so my thank is in this comment.
Wow
May GOD Bless 💙
That is the most beautiful thank you that I've ever received ... so it is now I who am thanking you and hope that you are now doing much, much better! Stay strong, appreciate your strengths and always know that our world needs you too!!!
@ we dont know what the bigger picture was or what he was going through and so we should be happy he's alive 😊
Arya Ganne literally the first reply asked how
I'm 65 and retired with an engineering background. This is the best advice, in a nutshell, I've ever heard in my life.
Would you recommend going into engineering? I mean was it fulfilling? I want to go into financial engineering
How to listen correctly:
•accept that words mean what they mean
•accept what's being conveyed with you
•don't listen waiting to speak; be active
•ask questions
•don't judge what people are saying why they are saying it to you(Don't judge so quick)
•take notes
How to read intelligently:
•consider the source of everything(age, environment, era of college attendance, place of birth, gender, who, date)
Attention span building(working memory):
•learn to be comfortable in your own company and in silence
•create a nice environment
•have have special interest(passion) where you can incrementally shift that passion to other things
•diet: know your body
Developing proper mental syntax for higher thought:
•really really good grammar
•increase your vocabulary
•music
•math(structure,systems,patterns)
Creating a strong intellectual environment:
•quiet
•Still
•peace
•encourage daydreams
Misc:
•pool intellectual resource(other people
•think with yourself
•surround yourself with great books(with people who you want to emulate logically or emotionally)
•other things that aren't in music
Thank you sir. And I highly implore others to watch the video in its entirety
Well done! Thank you for your contribution. Much appreciated!
amazing! Thank you so so so much
@@N1sjsjsj You're so so welcome! All my best to you!
This guy is such a bro, it's amazing
Garbojax McBruce huh
Math brings me to tears in two minutes. One parent was kind of helpful. The other parent lived to scream at me while I was doing homework. The WORST! I never got over it. Reading, same. I taught myself how to read at 40. Love books. This is a good video. Thank you so much.
Donna, Thank you for sharing your story! So many people have given up not because of a deficiency on their part but because of the nonsense they have had imposed upon them by others. I'm incredibly happy you went back and learned to read at 40. That is a beautiful and loving thing you did for yourself and I hope your message will inspire others to do the same. You have dignity and wisdom. I honor that in you!
Jack Black It means that Donna learnt to read once more at 40 years old. She/he (I don’t want to be accused of assuming genders) obviously delayed the learning, rather procrastinated learning how to posses the skill of reading. Hope this was helpful-Amy-Rose (Also considering something, do you think I should try for Mensa because I need other’s opinions. I’m not sure if I’m too young to ask my parents. I am 12. Don’t worry if you don’t have a specific opinion on this subject but I would greatly appreciate any acknowledgements and opinion. Many thanks.)
Same here. I cannot concentrate on what I am reading. I do read but my brain is busy thinking other things. I admit I'm a lil stress on my situation.
When someone is yelling at you, the parts of your brain that handle Logic, Reasoning and Creativity shut OFF. That is NOT the correct way to help a child do homework at all! I'm so sorry. I'm glad you taught yourself to read again, I hope that you can at least learn enough math to balance a checkbook and understand your own taxes. Its so important for many things in life
@@marjorie2459 Do you like picture books better, like illustrated books or children's books? Maybe you are a visual learner. I prefer books with some illustrations in them, it just hold my interest much better.
22 years old here, and you have been right on point in taddressing solitude and daydreaming as the key to an active intellectual life. I've always been a very introspective and introverted person and daydreaming has been a constant in my daily life since I was 9. I never had the chance to develop typical friendships with peers my age, so daydreaming was a way for me to be occupied and it's done it's job in making me feel less alone. I recommend the book Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World by Michael Harris. It's one of my comfort reads and there is a lovely section in one of the chapters addressing the importance of daydreaming to reinforce a sense of self-identity.
Thank you, Avery. Building up your tribe can take awhile for many/most outliers in our world. Celebrate your differences and make the most of who you are. Respectfully, Jeffery
This man is handing out pure gold. I hope I will nurture my children and give them the opportunities I didn´t had.
Thank you very much. I wish the very best for both you and your child!
@@jefferyford5309 awwwwwwwwww
Jeffery: “I’m really ignorant, I don’t know how to fly a space shuttle”
Jeffery*
Him saying that and being so smart really proves his point that pushing ignorance is good for intelligence
What a fool, I was flying space shuttles before I could ride a bike!
@@augustflorian3401 100% it's so freeing, it's amazing!!!
I can't think of a good reason to why you don't have more subscribers. This is powerful information from a powerful man like yourself. Thank you for sharing and please share more.
Thank you, Neo. I'll be doing more videos in the next month or so. I wish you the very best.
The one was your name neo
The fact that daydreaming is one of my favorite hobbies-
Daydreaming is so vitally important because everything new begins with a new thought - plus, it's fun dreaming up new dreams and thoughts that are self generated and totally uncensored by the rules of others.
@@jefferyford5309 true i was making a story and most of it was inspired by my own daydreams
There is a point where too much of everything , even good, becomes poisonous eg. drinking too much water could kill you. That happend with me daydreaming all the time and my wife became unhappy. Latly I came across Wim Hof metod and started breathing, streaching and cold exercises (find on TH-cam). Not only it makes me being here and now with others loved ones, listning to them (daydreaming still a lot of fun and good energy, but not all the time). I found out that WH metod increased my IQ test scores too.
Can i increase my iq by 50 percent by doing yoga and meditation.
This is very interesting. From my experience, it seems as if I've increased my IQ over a 4 year span. I don't know if it's because of puberty, but I experienced a huge increase in mental capabilities around 9th grade. The year before, I got bad grades in a class, so I told myself I would get straight A's throughout all of high school. In 9th grade, I suffered daily to attend to my anxiety and lack of focus. Ever since that year, I've been getting better ever since. These tips seem to be true according to what I experienced over the years in high school. If I had anything to add (now that I'm writing this on the spot), then it would be to practice introspection and/or mindfulness meditation. For me, I was lonely in high school, so I spent most of my time alone. The world, as it truly is, really opens up to you once you train your metacognition to look at your thinking and behavior. I've learned to move past my enslaving psychological complexes.
Big brain
super kid good grades are correlated with intelligence directly
J ross Psychological complexes can directly hinder one’s ability to apply their intelligence. I only made good grades after I began the process of sorting out my complexes
it's the same for me too
@J People who lack mindfulness, self-awareness, and boundaries are more susceptible to influence from social media. And the influence from social media can vary from being healthy to extremely neurotic, depending on what is going on in the culture at that time & the person's history on the app. Where social media can engender neurosis, it is pathological and can trap people in loops of fantasy-indulgence. Thus, the person using the app should heavily monitor themselves and their social media ecology in order to avoid any neurotic influence & fantasy entrapment going against their individuation. The healthiest parts of social media would be those influences which inspire action in the world, self-development, good relating with others, and the acquisition of resources for the fulfilment of your potential.
Great! I like you encourage us to daydreaming. Imagination is indispensable to build intelligence.
So true! "Creativity is intelligence having fun." Albert Einstein
Jeffrey, I have known many bright people in my life, most self-proclaimed, but you encapsulate not only a bright mind but a wise soul - and that is true genius. It is clear that you care for and think deeply about your fellow human beings, and it is important to you to help them live productive and as creative lives. You, and your videos, are inspiring - you are helping many people you do not know to become the best people they can be. I hope you continue your video series - this may be your most important life’s work as it lifts up and inspires so many of us. Stay well my friend, and may God grant you many more years healthy and happy years on this earth.
Thank you, Eric! I like to view my life as a series of opportunities to grow and to help others do the same. It gives my life purpose and meaning.
I have watched this video about 5 times, I think so much about IQ and thinking in general. Finding this video really helped me plan for what I wanted my future to consist of. I scheduled my Mensa administration test and I thank you for helping me find my way.
This may have been published 3 years ago, but this is so inspiring. I’ve never heard somebody speak anything so inspiring like you did. For some time I’ve lost motivation for school, and pretty much life but after listening and watching this it’s like changed my point of view of how I view things. Thank you so much for making this video it’s really helpful to me, I’ve never in my life seen someone like you and I want to thank you I feel motivated from watching this. It makes me want to actually do something and reach my goals that I’ve never tried to reach because recently I have been failing school due to 2020 and everything happening and it’s caused me to loose motivation but this actually help me gain back my confidence. Thank you!
Thank you so VERY much, Nishinoya! May you manifest everything that is great inside of you and have an even greater time doing it and enjoying its rewards!
What a sweet and humble man you are! I was actually searching for videos like this in order to help my children this summer, because they have started slacking, academically. But as I listened, I actually started wanting to implement your suggestions for myself!! Thank you and God bless you🙏🏾
Thank you, Madgie Madgie! I have another video titled, Become a Genius & Master the Secret of Life that I've spoken about on the Christal Frost Show's radio/podcast that can absolutely transform peoples lives to places they never believed possible. I can assure you that it will blow your mind and it can EASILY be done in the home with less effort than most people would believe possible. I hope you'll check it out for both yourself and your children. th-cam.com/video/Std3RX5ujNg/w-d-xo.html All my best to you and yours!!!
Thank you for creating this. I'm overcoming some obstacles right now that have been corrupting my cognition and robbing me of my memory. So, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to create this video and offering guidance and structure for my new routine. Thank you!
I'm so glad I came upon your channel. You have saved me from a lot of distress and insecurity I've been carrying for a while now and have given me hope that I'm not too old to grow. I will be watching more of your videos on this new path of learning and growth. Thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a down to earth manner! 🙏
Thank you! You are NEVER to old to grow as long as you're still consciously alert. This video of mine might be of tremendous use for you and it is incredibly easy to implement. th-cam.com/video/Std3RX5ujNg/w-d-xo.html
@@jefferyford5309 Thank you for the recommendation! I just finished watching the video and found the steps you laid out very helpful. I would be most grateful if you could share educational resources to help adults learn math and numeric reasoning. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge! 🙌
The best teachers are not just people who give information, but they also teach their students how to get it themselves. Thank you for this video.👏👏🙏🙏 Edit: SUBBED.
Fantastic discussion. Might I add, "try something new". Learn how to recognize different patterns, by taking up new challenges. For instance, a second language, chess, an instrument, jiu jitsu,... healthy new habits which force you to see the world from a different perspective.
Thank you! Excellent advice for optimizing brain function at any age and helping to retain cognitive abilities as one ages.
Ha, what a surprise! Check who watched the video and commented - Jeffrey Vogt himself! :) Greetings my friend! :)
Excellent advice. I just started learning piano and talk about a huge "paradigm shift" (in a good way)! :-)
I love your contest. It's simultaneously kind and extremely refreshing
Thank you, mister. Much appreciated!
Nice to see people giving hope and caring to improve people's view of them selves. I think it's much needed and appreciated.
Thank you. Wishing you the very best of everything!
I never apologize for being the smartest guy in a room! if I'm not, I'm drawn to the intellect of others
What I noticed is that the most common character trait of geniuses is a really good concentration ability. Thank you for your videos!
Concentration and persistence is definitely key along with being able to put things together and seeing things in a systemic manner and developing processes that make sense for the matter at hand.
You are right about how it feels good to be around people on your iq level. I just got this nice feeling while listening to you and seeing how you think and acknowledge the multilayered nature of things. Actually the lack of connection I usually get make me feel almost antisocial and sad. It is such a relief to at least connect with what you say. I never wanted to segregate people but maybe I will find refuge in one of this societies you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.
„Silence is the best way to be human.“ Thank you Jeffery - this is emotional IQ at highest level.
I just found your channel and appreciate you covering a topic that is often misrepresented, misinterpreted, or clouded in emotional arguments. Over ten years ago, I achieved a Prometheus score on one of the Hoeflin tests (the one without vocabulary questions). Back then my vocabulary was weak, and my scores, such as SAT, reflected that. I made an effort to read more fiction (including your favorite), and, as you recommend in this video, I sought out authors with a variety of backgrounds, genders, etc. The Hoeflin tests are no longer active--maybe not even available--but my vocabulary has drastically increased alongside my writing ability.
Your mentioning of focus is great point that others tend to ignore. People talk about intelligence as an innate trait, like hair color, that is independent. I think it is more helpful to think of intelligence as a skill, like throwing a ball. Nobody knowledgeable discounts the genetic influence, but throwing a ball well relies on neuromuscular factors, flexibilty, advantageous anatomy. And, of course you can practice and improve!
Well stated. We can all improve our minds in a myriad of ways. How one desires to do so for one's self should be contemplated at length and put into action ... if one so desires.
Thank you so much for this video. It really made me sad to hear from some people that you can't improve one of the main aspects that's responsible for your success in life. You saved a person from completely giving up on life.
Thank you so very much for letting me know how this information has affected your life. . This means a lot to me. I strongly suggest that you also watch my video titled, Become a Genius and Master the Secret of Life. th-cam.com/video/Std3RX5ujNg/w-d-xo.html It breaks things down into the simplest components and I know it has also helped others. I make videos that I wish I would have had when I was younger and then I share my experiences and knowledge with the world. Thank you for reminding me once again that my offerings have value. Your act of kindness today made a difference in my life as well. All my best to you.
Thank you, Jeffery. This was such a rewarding video, and it is an honor and privilege to listen to you.
Thank you. I'm honored that you spent time out of your precious life to listen to my message. Much Respect, Jeffery
@@jefferyford5309 Well said
I am very grateful to have discovered you and this video, I lack a lot of focus but I can watch small portions of this video at a time and digest what you are saying more easily because you are presenting this with such an adroit sense of humbleness that I dont get a feeling of negative self image as you speak. I have a younger brother and he is intelligent but he has that need to dominate and compete that you mentioned...he is disdainful of my speaking of emotions and feelings about people around us. You dont need to be the center of the universe and it is wonderful to hear.
Hi Phillip, I like your strategy of taking things in small steps and building upon them. Also, sometimes things can get lost if one hears too much all at once. Chunk it down and really, really understand and perhaps even master that one thing and then go back to the video, podcast or book - I've done that before myself. You're trying to authentically understand and not just rush through something. I respect that. All my best to you!
Thank you so much Jefferey, I've been feeling lost for a while and you put everything into perspective for me. I'm going to immediately start implementing these habits into my life. I wish you the best.
Thank YOU, Kyle. I'm glad I helped you along your path. Life is a long time and it takes time to fully grow, mature and develop. It doesn't happen all at once. For me it has taken decades and I'm still maturing and becoming someone new and someone more. I hope I never stop growing. Enjoy your journey and I wish you the very best along your path.
Those who are truly intelligent show humility. I have met many smart people in my college years, but the smartest of them in my courses were as humble as this man here.
That's an interesting observation. I find that age and experience humbles one if they are the least bit self honest and self aware.
@@jefferyford5309 I feel as though humility may be a key to skepticism which in itself is a strong foundation for scientific and mathematical thought. Thanks for sharing your wisdom on these topics. They have inspired me to go back over some of my college math courses and get a deeper understanding that just the grade I was given.
Thanks Jeffery... I will be pondering your wisdom and start listening and try to stop interrupting!
Learning to ask good questions is an incredibly underrated skill. I can listen to a speech and think someone is smart but they are demonstrating knowledge or insight in to a single domain. If someone asks really good questions however it can show they have good listening skills, comprehension, are actively questioning and analysis what is being said and they know what to ask to improve their knowledge.
Great comment. A good question can be of great benefit to both the questioner and the one being questioned.
Good and sound advice all around, Jeffery. A few thoughts from someone much closer to the opposite end of the IQ spectrum from you:
* Regarding “consider the source,” something I think is important as a prerequisite to that is having a good foundation of self-knowledge. Without knowing one’s _own_ biases and other cognitive tendencies, considering (or speculating about) those of others has a higher potential for misuse (e.g., by getting deflected/rejected by one’s own unrecognized biases, or further reinforcing them).
* I suspect that in many cases, people who use poor grammar, punctuation, and syntax don’t know it, and so won’t seek out resources to improve it no matter how abundant and easily accessed the resources are. But what you said later in the video, about the potentially positive influence of reading good writing by those you’d want to emulate, could be useful in at least some of these cases.
* Where you said “daydreams are _not_ a waste of time,” I would say, daydreams not _necessarily_ a waste of time. It depends on the context (when, where, why, how long). I’m sure many of us are all too familiar with using daydreaming as a way of avoiding things, for instance.
Big props for giving us this knowledge
Jeff You deserve total deference, for your humility and willingness to share your gift, thank you, you prove the adage " the most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason creates"
Thank you. The world needs more beauty and less strife in the world right now (and always.) My videos are intended to build people up in ways they've never anticipated to be possible for them to achieve. Genius can be built incrementally over time through persistence and dedication. One just needs the drive and to learn the process of "how to."
The first time in my life to subscribe to a channel once I listen to the first minute of the video 👌
Thank you! That's much appreciated. All my best to you.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 You just changed my life
Hi Jeff,
I am an A.I. theorist and I came up with a new understanding of intelligence. Mental coordination. I have a meta-model that says we build models of the world then simulate what can happen. As we learn more we can subconsciously be creative combining what we know in new ways. My insight into this also was from Immanuel Kant. That all we can know is perception. So this is the metamodel. We recognize and then simulate then decide. I love your videos and hope you make more. I made some videos myself if you want to see them. You are a wonderful person. What you said in your video are good tips for how to organize thinking. It follows my model that I want to develop further. I am asking people to help me so I share with people and discuss with them my thoughts. I like solving problems like you. I want to understand how it is possible people can solve problems. That is why I am an A.I. theorist. I need to understand intelligence before I can create it. And I need to make friends to help me with what I cannot do myself. Keep making wonderful videos Jeff.
I truly appreciate your comment and what you're pursuing. We need people like you to move humankind forward toward maximizing our evolutionary potential.
its been 3 years and you still reply the comments...ur really sweet ,loads of love to u jeffery from india
Thank you, Arsh! Much appreciated. I watched your Angelina Jolie video in your playlists. Wanted is my favorite movie of hers. Girl Interrupted, Gia and The Tourist are outstanding as well.
the crazy thing is, i literally knew all of this, but never really took the time to make the connections and dwell deeper into how and why they work. well, this video basically helped me materialize those thoughts ive held inside me from a long time, especially coming from someone i can really trust without judging their whole lives before them speaking a word (i do that).
coming from a 16 yr old, but, never lose hope in life, in what you really at your best can be, sure it would take sacrifices, changes, things you may not wanna do, but the reward outweighs all of them, the brain is a fascinating little lump of protien and fat, believe in yourself. good luck to everyone who have been thinking that they were a loser up until now!
This nigga’s dropping knowledge.y’all better keep up.
The listening and refraining from judgement is key. "Principles over personality." And yeah...reading is a skill, not a passive activity. I'm going to check out more of your work.👏
Thank you. Reading and listening are subjects that should be taught and practiced throughout grade school and then as an introductory first year college component for a mandatory communications course.
I am so happy to have found you thank you mr ford
Thank you Jeffrey - I’ve watched this video today 26 May 2023, exactly 6 years after you made it, and it means a lot to me, as if it was meant just for me today! - thank you so much! Blessings to you!
Thank you so much. Much of what I included were timeless truths for assistance that will likely never become outdated. May we both continue to grow and improve ourselves in a myriad of ways of our own choosing. I wish you wellness and many blessings as well!
@@jefferyford5309 Thank you! All the best to you💐🙋♀️
Thank you for your knowledge and most importantly your time, I appreciate it fully.
Thank you, Joshua. It's my pleasure to share some of what I've learned throughout my life with you. All my best.
1:05 thank you, some ppl need to hear this
Agreed. Thank you for your feedback!
Mr. Ford is crazy smart! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you very much for sharing, and for being so kind and polite! 🙂
Thank you, Growing up I was insecure about my intelligence which led me to be on wrong path , later on I learned to believe in my self, I got away from my old life and I hope practicing this will let me increase my perception on life.
Really great video.
Sort of thinking:
~ 75% pictures
~ 20% words
~ 5% feelings
Actually there is a really great tedx talk.
Just found this channel. Amazing tips in a short video. Thank you!
Thank you!
I appreciate you putting yourself out there. Expand a video on each bullet point and challenge others to counter you
Thank you for the comment and for your constructive ideas. Much appreciated!
As soon as I opened your video, I felt a huge amount of energy passing through my body. It seems to me that you have a very special mission here on planet earth. I can feel that you are being helped by very powerful spiritual forces. You are actually, a very powerful spiritual being yourself. Everything that you are has been chosen by you and your spiritual team before you were born, so you would be able accomplish this important mission. I am a Psychic by the way.
I would enjoy having you as a mentor or professor
Thank you! That's an incredibly rewarding compliment in the form of an observation to receive. I'll continue to post various videos on intelligence, genius and ways to brighten people's lives and hopefully they will resonate with you.
This changes my perspective substantially. The topic related to checking source of Information is my favourite, because it changes my view on how I consume advice from people
I've connected this system of learning with being a polymath. Polymaths learn so many diverse disciplines that they make connections in their head more effectively, leading to fastened learning.
Be always ready to change your opinion about everything you have learned so far.(be your own journalist)
That's right. Always keep an open mind no matter how certain you believe yourself to be.
You inspire me sir. hats off too you!
Congratulations you won.
aliens will always exist what?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your thoughts.
I'm glad I found my way here. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! May you do the same!
Dude you aren't ignorant you have great wisdom, ignorance isn't a lack of experience or knowledge it's knowing when you don't know something.
Thank you for another great inspirational video. Simplifying thoughts, not living in your head too much, and more...all GREAT talking points. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us.
Thank you!!! I'm very happy to share a piece of my life with you "and you know you got it if it makes you feel good." :-)
Tremendous presentation. I teach this material and you are a fantastic spokesperson for this message. Validating and empowering in tone and rich in content. Thank you for this important contribution.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your feedback and wish you much success in helping to guide others to improving their intelligence. It's important work that you're doing and keep in mind you might be planting seeds that will grow long after you've lost touch with your students. You are likely far more successful than you'll ever know especially considering the multiplier effect that occurs as your students lives touch others peoples lives, etc. etc..
I'm do weird because when I do Iq tests on the internet the results are beyond 20-60 (Very Dumb) and I AM consideres the geniuses oficial my School and by my parents
(Sorry english is nota my First language)
@Bilu Bilu Which online test?
I don't know if you are still active on this channel, but I just want to thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this. I will use this in my studies in "other areas" as well as for raising my IQ. Thank you.
Thank you, Stephen, Yes, I'm still active in terms of leaving replies to comments and yes there will be more videos forthcoming. I have a special video coming up that I believe will be of great help and guidance to many people. This is an odd time in history and I'm basically just taking care of myself and enjoying life - there will be more though. I promise. Have you seen my TED Talk yet?
@@jefferyford5309 Not yet , I'll definitely check it out.
This is the first video of yours that I'm currently watching. Before noticing the potential clue with the videos on the right (Destroying Autism myths; which I'll be watching next), I'd already suspected that you were on the spectrum, having recognized certain traits and behaviours I've noticed in others and indeed in myself, since being diagnosed 5 years ago (at 33y.o.).
As soon as you started talking about tips to improve your concentration I was certain of it. Being comfortable by yourself and in silence and having a strong interest you can focus on. Words (or a way of being) I live by. Describes many an Autism/Aspergers introvert, I've met, including myself. I think proof of those tips effectiveness are demonstrated by the higher intelligence (or at least very knowledgable in their favourite area) often found in such of us. Our go to headspace/mindset just lends itself to the ideal environment for learning and concentrating. Not watched TV for years and don't have a mobile. Peoples need and addiction to their phones is beyond annoying; often not even focusing/concentrating on their environment, oblivious and drone-like*. If only they'd apply the same drive towards something constructive!
Daydreaming, a state of being I frequently consciously/unconsciously enter in to. I too enjoy some classical music. One of my deep interests is music, in particular Psytrance (far cry from classical), often going to raves, where I can go in to a trance and just intently focus on the music for 6, 10 sometimes 16hrs!
I won't post a link. But I'd highly recommend a listen to a track called Daydreaming by Talamasca!
"...often stares out the window daydreaming." - a sentence mentioned in two separate primary school school reports.
*I think in either Holland or Germany, the number of cases of people being hit by cars at crossings, staring at their phones, unaware of the traffic signals, that they installed traffic lights in the floors at the crossing, so they could be seen by the people always looking down at their devices!?!. What a sorry state for humanity!!
I wouldn't have done that for them. Pay some attention or learn a harsh lesson. Doing as such throws a proper spanner in to survival of the fittest; because if/when they finally put down their phone they're going to pro-create. Which is another thing not on our forefront, intelligence is being bred out, or at least smothered! Children might/would get in the way of our interests, so they're not happening! :D
This was eye opening, thank you!
Thank you! I wish you the very best of everything.
I was considering improving my vocabulary, then I realised it would be a floccinaucinihilipilification.
?
@Lord Esteros 😂😂😂
My fellow Sesquipedelianist
And what does that mean?
@@acatalepsy7410 And what is that?
Thank you for your time Jeffery, and thank you for your humor
You're very welcome, Michael. Wishing you the very best.
Thank you Jeffrey. I appreciate your advice!
That was really cool. I thought I was going to hear about how to learn to do things that apply to an IQ test, but most of this I think was for real world intelligence.
One thing I would add in evaluating credibility is that learning to gauge motivation is critical. How much money is involved? How much peer pressure? How much ego? These are the primary three motivators in the world today. Ego is the biggest problem, because that's the one in your head.
This just popped up on my feed, thank you Jeffery, you're a cool dude!
Thank you, Tomas K! Wishing you the very best.
Just off this one video I'm gonna use you as a mentor for me, you are humble and a great teacher keep up the enlightening videos!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Searched for this video after it was recommended by a friend. Great advice and valuable insights. Thank you!
I'm glad that you sought this video out and that you received some great advice and valuable insights. I encourage you to keep learning, growing and becoming the very best you that you seek to become. Remember, the world needs YOUR insights as well! Only you have your once in history's unique collection of learnings, experiences and perceptions. Wishing you the very best of everything!
hey mr jeffery I am a second year med student from libya , benghazi
thank you for the great info you had shared it helps
Very glad to hear that my video has helped you. I honor your choice of professions and trust that you will help to heal many people in the future. Your life will touch not just the people you heal, but also their friends, relatives and the future generations that will have an opportunity to exist all because you chose a career of lifesaving service to others. With Much Respect, Jeffery
This guy is the opposite of Jordon Peterson who claimed that your IQ is set at birth and there is nothing you can do about it.
Our potential for intelligence is set at birth because we can only rise to the potentiality our physical brains can take us - but our actualized intelligence (where we are at any given time of our lives) is certainly dependent upon numerous variables, many of which I elaborated on in this video that are definitely under our control if we so choose.
Is there any literature on the variance of IQ average available to anyone? I can't find anything on google scholar.
Paul Tremblay- well, I think Mr Ford's statement "Our potential for intelligence is set at birth because we can only rise to the potentiality our physical brains can take us " is pretty much what J Peterson says. So... not really the opposite.
Both guys talk a lot about improvement.
@@jefferyford5309 thank you - that is a much more positive and what I consider realistic and hopeful take on genetics.
Everybody is wrong about something
Your calm and confident capability present genius themselves.
Phenominal! Thank you so much for pouring your life out for us to learn!
Thank you, Viktoria! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your act of joyful bravery as you jumped from the plane and dived through the sky! Your combination of courage and living with passion can be an inspiration for us all!
Mans really had to flex that hard at the start.
Thank You Mr. Ford . I'm so inspired by your video. Wish you prosperity and good health
Thank you, Milana. That is very much appreciated. I wish you the best of everything!
Thank you for this very important video. You're incredibly humble and I think that is why you're so open to learning and have learned so much.
Thanks, Sam. Much appreciated!
@@jefferyford5309 You're welcome!
Ty for your time and patience brother God Bless 🙏🏼 we needed this
You're very welcome. Glad you received something positive and of worth from my offering. All my best to you!
Great video! At a recent IQ test I scored 150 and I'm preparing soon to take the original supervised Mensa test and let's see. I'm playing so called 'brain games' at neuronation site, which I think are really great and helpful. I'm trying to limit my diet to the 5 following things: lean meat (I really like pork, as I know their anatomy is close to the humans and thus containing many good for humans nutrients), fish and seafood, leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale), different nuts (especially walnuts) and different berries. All of that as organic, as my budget allows me. I've just learned to juggle with 3 tennis balls counter clockwise and I'm planning to start learning soon to do it clockwise. And few other brain developing activities.
From all the mentioned things for brain development in the video, I would argue a bit about the grammar. For what it's actually good - for developing rigor? Maybe... In my view, too much concern about the grammar can be more of unnecessary obsession, than rigor developing factor. I'm always repeating to my friends, that the function of the language (spoken or written) is to transfer information. If the information is successfully transferred - the function is executed. Anything further is unnecessary formality. I'm trying as much as possible to avoid formalities. I think, that they are harmful for the thinking and hold back the intellectual development. My advice in this case is - rather let your imagination race wildly, than worry about rules and formalities.
Thank you for the terrific comment. You make many good points and you're growing as an individual. It's important to keep adding and changing for growth. I wish you well on the formal exam. All my best to you.
Hehehe, 'formal' exam... :) Thank you, all the best for you too.
How did you do?
13:56 'except for the internet connection and your computer' that was a really smart one, i didn't think about it
I try to keep in mind that not everyone has the same good fortune as so many others around them. I encourage those who lack the computer (or tablet or smart phone) and connection to frequent a public library where computers can often be used for free.
Thank you very much for the video. It really helped me. I am very inspired by you. You are intelligent yet modest and that just makes me smile. You taught me a lot of important things in life. Thanks
Thank you, Jefferey. It's my second time watching your vid (four years ago and now).
Thank you. I'm glad that you've found it useful. I wish you the very best in life!
Read philosophy and play chess I say. One is about understanding complex ideas, the other is about thinking ahead. Creativity, now that's a totally different ball game. No idea what my own IQ is, I passed the 11 plus thing in the UK, so it can't be too low. Met some guys though that just blew me away. Like a lot depends on your environment, work in local government or something and you think you're intelligent, move out of that into the real world and you meet these guys who are unreal.
Hi Pat, In my opinion, the trick is to find your tribe where your kind (and level) of intelligence is most desired, needed and appreciated. That helps with bonding, rapport and being most useful and fulfilled.
Regarding classical music; if anyone has a darker, edgier taste in music but would like to delve into classical; try Lucas King. He does darker piano music based on psychological themes and might be a good introduction into wit if Mozart, etc seems initially arduous
HUGE thank you! I love it.
This is all true and valuable information! Thank you for making this video! i Would like to touch on the importance of getting help... i cant stress that enough.. You mentioned about ADHD etc., people getting the help they need to focus.. I would highly encourage people to pursue any type of mental health they need... Personally, i am Bipolar.... When i finally addressed my mental health issue, my life became increasingly better... Not only my life, but I also started having a positive impact on other peoples lives. My mental abilities started astonishing me over time. In a two year time I had accomplished more than I had in my entire life. Doors started opening to me that i never thought possible.... So yes, please, if you need some type of help, get it. Don't be ashamed. Also, the part of environment... That is such a huge factor... Also, very key element you spoke on, Your environment. Your environment and the people you have around you are a key player, not only in your intelligent quotient, but in your ability to exceed in life. Create a positive and peaceful environment for yourself..... and stop being lazy. Put in the work, such as increasing your vocabulary. Thank you so much for this video and i truly hope this video reaches every person on this planet. I also hope with the worlds available technology, more and more people like yourself start to emerge and are able to play a larger part in our society... People like yourself are truly a blessing, and especially in this day in time, we need many more like you influencing the younger generations. Thank you for being you.
Thank you, Jeremy. You shared a lot of what needs to be shared with others. Thank you for making a difference - these things ... and you ... matter!
@@jefferyford5309 your welcome. Thanks for being the kind type of human you are... That's a hallmark of your intelligence.
So, so, so good! Thank you for putting this out!
Thank you, Duane. I truly appreciate your glowing feedback. Wishing you great success, purpose and meaning in all you do and become in life!
I can’t even remember what I had for dinner yesterday
Take notes :)
It's amazing and unfortunate though how some people can recall and regurgitate at great length the most trivial of minutia!
My whole life I've been drowning in my mind. It messed up my results. My IQ isn't the highest because my attention always goes elsewhere. Even at work, or when watching something I still have this issue?
I hope your advise helps.
Love the video!! This is one of the few videos I didn't instantly change the speed to x2 on, I love your entire notion of intelligence, the school system, and so fourth. I'm not even that far into the video yet you're one of the most put together and respectable people I've seen. Thank you :)
second edit: YES THIS VIDEO IS CONVEYING AND COMMUNICATING SO MUCH I'VE TRIED TO TELL PEOPLE BUT WITH SO MUCH MORE CLARITY!!!! I'm in an AP research course and we've learned basic steps on evaluating sources thus i transferred that to other areas of my life and it's become so infuriating attempting to explain why someone should not trust a blog with no author and no citations on something such as politics. As much as I'd like to assume that's common sense it sadly is not. Anyhow back to the point, this video is so wonderful!! I'll definitely be showing it to various people I know
To branch off into a brief tangent: As a current high school student the message about cation in regards to trusting information is so important! Technology has become such a large part of where my generation gets information people have been oblivious to how inaccurate it can be. Google is so convenient, often people my age, myself included, believes sources simply because it's easier than finding a reliable source or true information or even checking the validity. Remembering how to and why you should be cautious is just so important, anyhow once again amazing video
OH MY GOD THE LAST PART
I never would have imagined using systems I currently am familiar with as a sort of reference or guide for others. The realization that just hit me is inexplicable wow
Hi Danielle! Please forgive the long delay. I'm happy to see that you're someone who truly gets it and understands the importance of seeing things in systems and patterns. Be grateful that you are aware of these things and possess the rare ability to actually listen and then assimilate (take in) the material. Please be kind to others because most people simply can't and it is not a character flaw - they literally are unable to listen and then gather what is important, take it all in and then constructively use it for their own and others advantage. My Dunning-Kruger video will explain why that is. Life can be frustrating at all stages and high school (and middle school) far more so. Make the most of your time and prepare yourself for an amazing future ahead! Stay curious, enjoy achievements and keep reading and learning. BTW, Look up my new page on Facebook. I now have a message a day to help people throughout their lives. I just started it two weeks ago. The page is called, Wisdom, Knowledge, Intuition & Love. If you like it and follow it you might find it could be of use to you. All my very best to you throughout your life.
I'll try to do my best. Thanks for the great information contained in this video.
Thank you. All my best to you throughout your life.
how do you consider everything without getting lost in translation? what discourages my intellectual growth is not knowing how to be sure throughout pretty much any learning process
I don't demand certainty and it is definitely okay to simply admit when you don't know something. Also, there are times to suspend judgement while going through the learning process. Plus, the mystery one experiences from learning more and more can be far more enlightening than believing in things that are not true.
Here is one! Watch less TV!!
Great advice! I like the way you think!
How about "watch tv documentaries about subjects that can improve yourself"?
Oats Carter wrong I learn English by watching tv
I have cut TV out of my life completely
No one watches tv bud, we're all on youtube or netflix
I imagine how lone and generous person you are, Jeffrey.
