An IQ test is supposed to give an unbiased analysis or rating of intelligence with "fudge factors" for age and culture.

However doing math quizzes and word quizzes and spatial relationship problems is in fact a learned skill. After several hundred examples a person tends to catch on and do them better and faster - he's not smarter, just more experienced.

Given this, it is possible to get higher scores on an IQ test by practicing IQ test type problems. However you probably were that smart all along. Now you are that smart and experienced.

Research suggests that IQ scores are relatively stable throughout adulthood, indicating that it may be challenging to significantly increase one's IQ. However, it is possible to enhance cognitive skills and abilities through various techniques like engaging in intellectually stimulating activities, acquiring new knowledge, and regularly challenging oneself through puzzles and problem-solving tasks. While these strategies may not directly increase IQ, they can improve overall cognitive functioning and intellectual performance.
