Einstein Intelligence Factors Theory - Patterns of Reasoning and Idea Creation

The brain is plastic and you can literally "upgrade" your brain.

One of the things that may have contributed to or enhanced Einstein's intelligence was his exposure to many new ideas and concepts while he worked in a patent office.

You can improve or train your logical thinking, creativity, strategic and analysis thinking, problem and puzzle solving skills, pattern recognition and detection, power of deduction, categorizing and comparing skills.

The more information and knowledge you have, the more ideas and possibilities you can think of. Learning to learn is very important and not every one learns in the same way. Some styles are better than others for different people. For example some people need to see the whole picture in order to start absorbing the information properly while others need more of a step by step approach. It's important that you work on your learning skills and identify what works best for you quickly in order to make it as efficient, easy, and enjoyable as possible.
