Book Description
Physical fitness is something many people practice every day. However, how often do people exercise their brains? In an age where information gathering, sorting and retention is integral to the way business is conducted, improving brain power and increasing the ability to solve complex problems are more important than ever. Demonstrating that exercising our brains is as much fun as taking a brisk jog through the park on a clear spring morning, The IQ Workout Book and companion CD-ROM is filled with over 200 puzzles. Conceived and written by two members of the renowned Mensa organization, Philip Carter and Ken Russell, the book is sure to provide hours of endless fun for readers as they solve puzzles designed to improve and sharpen brain power. More importantly, it will help readers with all the tricks and techniques needed for scoring highly on IQ tests and during corporate assessments. The book gives readers a chance to start improving brain power slowly with warm-up exercises, and then to move on to solving not only brain-teasers, but tricky problems encountered in everyday life. While enjoying all the fun exercises, readers will be challenging their ability to interpret symbols, testing spatial-perception skills, improving math skills and furthering the development of their memory power and imagination. The book comes complete with answers and explanations to all the exercises. There is also a companion CD-ROM available that features an interactive IQ-improvement course and additional problems.
