I read a book called "How to Raise Your IQ" and it worked. By the end of the book I was scoring over 200 as compared to the 149 I had officially achieved when for a laugh I had tried out for Mensa. (I had no intention of joining, nor did I join the other group I qualified for which only takes in the top .1% rather than Mensa's 1%. I did enough post-graduate work to get my fill of sitting around talking to eggheads like myself.) And no, I'm not boasting, because based on my research and experience my judgment is that what IQ tests measure best is how well you do on IQ tests. I'm sure you all saw the "Ghetto IQ" tests which transposed the usual questions into poor urban black American terminology and experience. This is only the beginning when you start to unpack the assumptions built into IQ tests. Intelligence is a multi-valent concept resistant to easy categorizations and to testing. My lab partner all through high school and my early university years as a science honours student had an IQ 25 points lower than mine but he worked his ass off and became a well-known astronomer, a lot more than supposedly-smarter me ever did.
