Possible to increase IQ or intelligence using LOA?

[eddiec]

Would it be possible to increase IQ or intelligence using LOA. Eg. Could a person with average intelligence increase their IQ to above average or an above average person then become a genius?

I would just like to restore my intelligence, Ive noticed that it has declined in recent times due to depression/anxiety & past drug use.

Would any of this be achievable?

thanks.

John Demartini recounts that as a dyslexic, school drop-out he had been told he would never amount to anything. Then he met someone who helped him identify his life purpose and also told him to say every day 'I am a genius and I apply my wisdom'

He said it every day for more than 2 years. He went back to school to study and was helping someone with their homework in the library when he heard someone else whisper 'that Demartini is a friggin genius!'

So if you apply it then I guess the answer is yes.

However, I would also suggest that you don't only rely on the LOA and seek help for the depression and anxiety which will help free up mental space too.

It all revolves around how you feel about your iq. Read more than you normally would.

Sure.

Sure. Not only that, if someone else were to hold the belief that you're very smart, your IQ might just rise on its own.

This is proven by the classic experiments by Harvard professor Robert Rosenthal, on both rats and children.

This couldn't be true...if the whole world were to believe that bill gates was stupid would this then mean he would turn dumb?

No, I don't think your Bill Gates proposition is correct. I could elaborate, either from a psychology perspective or from an LOA perspective. But I have spent too much time explaining things to people in this forum recently.

The Rosenthal effect (also known as the Pygmalion effect) is well-known. Apart from the link I already provided, you can google and read up on it for yourself, from other sources.

Professor Robert Rosenthal developed the experiment in the 1950s. It garnered him international recognition and fame, and the implications have been explored from many different sociological perspectives (eg would black or Hispanic students perform badly, because their teachers believe that black and Hispanic tend to perform badly etc).

Still alive and kicking today, Rosenthal enjoys a very distinguished reputation in psychology. His academic career includes more than 30 years as a professor at Harvard University (he was also the chairman of the psychology department there for seven years).
