If you used Google to get ideas on what hobbies to pick up during the pandemic, you are far from alone. The search query spiked at one time even as high as 400 percent.
But did you know some of these new hobbies could be improving your family s intelligence quotient (IQ)? A fun new report suggests as much.
DIYS.com, a site dedicated to DIY projects and tutorials, asked more than 4,500 volunteers in July 2020 to choose a hobby to take up during the pandemic. Volunteers were asked to take an IQ test on 123Test.com before they started their new hobby and six months later to see which ones might improve cerebral intelligence. (IQ scores the average being 100 measure a person s reasoning ability and how well and fast they can recall information and solve puzzles.)
