Quiz Shows Increase Intelligence

Yes, those shows are interesting. I just can't help myself from trying to answer those questions. But I think they're really useless facts, well maybe some are quite useful. But I bet that if those questions would be asked to me one month from when I heard it, most probably I won't remember. Then I'll probabaly end up hating myself for forgetting it, when it would be just at the tip of my tongue.

I love Jeopardy and watch it most nights. I find it helps me challenge myself and its so much fun. I loved the Weakest Link too.

I wasn't very good at The Weakest Link but I loved Who wants to be A Millionaire and am now enjoying 1 VS 100. I also like Temptation...especially the 60 second fast round. I watch these shows and enjoy them, not because it gives me a chance to improve my knowledge but it give me a chance to AIR my knowledge. I don't think I actually retain any of the info I learn from these shows...it's a case of in one ear and out the other I fear.

We sometimes watch Jeopardy, and we are always trying to second guess the contestants. I have not watched the other shows that much - too busy on myLot, and writing. I have not watched Weakest Link for sometime, but there are few here that are very interesting.

yes i watch quiz shows wolfie and try to answer the questions as it helps us to learn and also it is fun

I like watching Quiz shows. They not only helps u gain information and knowledge but also test ur knowledge and u may find it interesting to evaluate urself without going to any academy or teacher or spending any money. Informative TV programmes like documentry ones are imparting u knowledge and quiz shows test that knowledge.

ya, quiz competion is very helpful for increase the knowldge and overall personality of person.it will be facts that its have lots of data but we have to learn this it increase our knowldge beyong our knowldge.it will improve over all personality.its shapen our brain power also i watching mostly the kaun banega crorepati which is talecast on starplus. it will give us lots of knowldge and knowldge about diffrent field.no anyone it improve the knowldge my view the weakest link is not more.the question in the quiz is that will not particular with the field it consisits of lots of field so person will be relaxation

yes i guess it can increase ..... but it depends on several things like the type of show and how u concentrate on it .. but have not increased my int due to any show........good question infact......

There is no such thing as useless trivia, it is only trivia that you have not needed YET! I am not sure if they are a way of learning, but they are sure fun to match wits against the contestants. I really don't watch any at this point. My employment situation really does not give me the chance to watch much of these kidns of things.

I love quiz shows too - yet another thing we have in common! I do think they keep your brain working even though I am not as good with the answers as I used to be - guess that is all the medication though - or at least that is my excuse! xxxxx

Yes, i believe that quiz shows do enhances our memory and somehow adds our knowledge. If we regularly watch qui shows, we gain knowledge, new lessons that are not familiar to us. So aside from reading, do watch quiz shows with a lot of trivia and facts which it shares to its contestants and televiewers.

I LOVE to watch quiz shows. Two of my favorites are Jeopardy and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I'm always trying to answer the questions before the television players. It's great when I remember things that I didn't even really know that I knew. LOL

Hi wolfie. I am agree that quiz do help us in improving our knowledge. However, I don't really use to participate in quiz. Haha. I will try out when I am challenged or asked by my dad. (lazy)

I love watching quiz shows, it exercises my brain ^_^

Hiya pal , I like them all too , I watch the weekest link but that WOMAN lol annoys me when she takes people down , because my Mam and Dad both have Alzheimer's I am trying to keep my mind as active as I can . So lol that is my excuse to be on this PC xxxxx

I love quiz shows..especially the weakest link lol..What pisses me off though is when they don't bank for a long time then lose the money because they get it wrong lol!! I also like who wants to be a millionaire and get to know a lot of the weird and wacky questions lol..

Again, it all depends of how you define intelligence i personally think that it all depends on the personalitty the person has developed, there are people that have great memory and will remember all of the facts but will not develope with them no where. And there are the people that will take all of those facts that they equired in the quiz games and go on and read about them. But it is always good to have the quiz games because they always give an opportunitty to develop things.

I can not give you an answer because I almost never watch tv and don't watch quiz shows. I might watch a movie or the comedy serials or lost when it comes back on. Many huge huge Doll

I have always liked most quiz shows, wolfie. In their heyday quiz shows were a huge part of daytime tv. I think they do increase your knowledge-especially if you like trivia. I enjoy Family Feud, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and my all-time favorite, Jeopardy! I don't watch them as faithfully as I once did, but I do get to catch them from time to time.

I believe that it is an interesting question... In my (Argentine) TV there are many programs on questions and answers ... that of Susana Jimenez is the best ... it is necessary to know very much to come there. Bye bye.
