Later it was defined for adults so that the average IQ for the whole population was defined as 100 with a bell shaped curve showing what percentage of the population had a certain score.

Hello, Henrick.
I was trying to find a contact form but couldn’t, so I’m resorting to a comment.
I wonder whether your blog visitors would be interested in a brain training method that has been shown to increase fluid intelligence.
Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl’s study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008) recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% after 19 days of focused working memory training.
I was so impressed that I contacted the research team and developed a software program using the same method so that anyone can achieve these improvements at home.
