One of the best ways to boost your
intelligence is to read more! You can read faster (and thus consume more
knowledge) by getting your speech mechanism out of the equation. So give your
mouth something to do, like eating, humming, or chewing gum to get through that
stuff quickly. Then, take some time to absorb and reflect on what you read to
keep it in your memory.
The more you can contribute to a
conversation, a meeting, or other discourse, the smarter you'll come off. Even
if it means admitting ignorance or asking questions, you'll still look better
than if you stay silent—and you might actually learn something in the process.
When
engaged in a heated discussion with your friends, you're bound to stumble upon
a few holes in your knowledge. It's okay to admit when you don't know something,
but if you're feeling particularly self-conscious and want to keep up the
appearance of intelligence, the key is emphasizing what you do know. If you're
in an argument, don't stress disagreement so much as agreement—that way, you
aren't straying away from things you know about.
