How can i improve my logic?

Question

for me personally i like to work slow. (at my own pace) i guess thats the way my brain works. i don't know if it is some genetic thing or what. sometimes when i hear something it registers in my brain but when it comes out of my mouth it is not the same. it gets all fragmented and what not. this usually happens with funny jokes. i know math is not my thing and math has to do a lot with logic. that is why i'm not very go with math because i don't get it the first time around. it takes 3 or 4 times at the most. same goes to jokes and not being able to get it right away. is there anyway i can improve my logic? i would like to somehow keep my brain moving and think faster. can someone help???

Answer 1

Do crossword puzzles.  

Answer 2

Crossword puzzles, word searches....anything that makes you think.  As far as logic goes, take a task (like getting out of bed in the morning) and follow each step logically (as it happens)

1. Open your eyes

2. Lift your arms

3. Grab the covers

4. Throw them back

5. Lift your legs

6. Swing your legs over the side as you sit up.

7. Stand.

See what I mean?  Now take another task....like making toast.  What are the logical steps you have to take to make the toast?  By analyzing everyday tasks, you can start to see how things are done and you are also teaching yourself to be logical.  Math IS hard....been there, done that and only came out of it with a B- and that was a huge struggle.  Logical thinking came (for me) by taking computer programming courses in high school and college.  After a while, it just kicked in.

Good luck - I hope this helped.

Try to spot the logical fallacies at creationists videos.

Answer 4

Thinking faster has nothing to do with logic, like you said you have your own pace, everyone has their own pace, thinking faster doesnt necessarily make a person more logical. Intelligence is determined by the depth of your logic, you can only improve it so much, then you have reached the limits of what your brains is able to handle. Some people are more logical than others, and you cant just improve your logic infinitely, there is a limit to what everybody can do. I suggest playing some chess, reading some books on logic, researching stuff you find an interest in and obesessing over new ideads and theories that might be likely, you will be pushing your brain to the limits of what it can handle. Having a diary where you write things that happened in your day will help you to look back and look at your choices, your actions, and everything else you did in that day with a more logical perspective.

Answer 5

Read a good book on Logic. I'm sure that will help.

Answer 6
