Be a Quiz Genius!

Can you learn how to be a quiz genius? The answer is yes! Think of your brain as a personal internet – where links connect everything. You access knowledge stored in your brain by following these links. The name John Lennon will probably have a link to the Beatles, which in turn have links to George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney.

You gain general knowledge by reflecting on new things and linking them to things you already know. The more links one fact has – the more likely you retain it.

By working actively with new facts and relating them to facts you are already familiar with, your brain will quickly build up a private web of facts. The broader your general knowledge base is, the easier it is to digest and remember new information.

The key is to be actively involved when your read, see, or hear things. Is this familiar? Do these things remind you of something? Relate any new information to people, places, music, or feelings.

Another good idea is to look for quiz questions in everything you come across. Isolate small facts and ask yourself: would this information make a good quiz question?

Taking many online quizzes is, of course, also a good idea.
