You might not be able to login to your account for a couple of reasons. If you simply forgot your password, then please click on the relevant link on the login page to retrieve your password via email.

IQ Matrix Posters
▶ Does the IQ Matrix poster come with the black border or no border?
Each IQ Matrix physical poster that we ship out is printed with a black border that includes an inspirational quote. If you prefer to receive a poster with no border, then please contact us with your order number and any specific requests you might have immediately after making your purchase.
All downloadable maps do not include the black border, thereby saving you copious amounts of black ink when you print them out on the home or office printer. ;)
▶ Can I order larger size posters if required?
Yes, of course you can. Please contact us with the product name or code, the quantity you would like to order and the size of the poster you would like us to print for you. Please also include your account details (making sure that you've filled out your shipping information). Once we have this information, we will get back to you with a quote for the cost of the printing and shipping accordingly.
▶ Why is there a significant difference in price between the A2 and A3 posters?
The price differences between the A3 and A2 size posters comes down to the type of printer that is used to print each poster. A3 size posters are much easier, cheaper and more convenient to print and laminate.

▶ Why are the IQ Matrix workbooks ideal teaching tools for Teachers?
The IQ Matrix workbooks are ideal teaching tools for teachers who like to create interactivity with their students and who enjoy conducting classroom discussions.
Teachers are always looking for fresh and novel ways of sharing classical literature with their students. The IQ Matrix fills this void by providing teachers with a unique and creative angle that can enhance and accelerate each of student's learning potential in a very short period of time.
Please have a read of the IQ Matrix Beginner's Guide for the Shakespearean Workbooks for more information.
▶ What are IQ Matrix Study Filters for workbooks used for?
Each IQ Matrix Shakespearean workbook has a set of Study Filters. These Study Filters have been designed as a progressive learning tool to assist with the assimilation and recall of each IQ Matrix. They provide you with a unique perspective of each page of the workbook. Here is a quick summary if each of these filters:
Pathway Filter
The 1st level filter is the Pathway Filter which removes all pathways from the IQ Matrix page. Your goal here is to draw the pathways in with a pencil or pen from memory, effectively linking together all the relevant segments of the IQ Matrix as they appear on the original. This will test your memory and will build pathway connections and associations in your brain, thusly assisting with your knowledge and understanding as you progress onto the remaining three IQ Matrix filters.
Content Filter
The 2nd level filter is the Content Filter which tests your memory on the content of the IQ Matrix page. All words, phrases and other information has been wiped off the IQ Matrix page leaving only pathways, pictures & blanks. Your task is to recall and insert these missing words and phrases using a pencil or pen on the IQ Matrix Content Filter page. While working with this filter you still have the assistance of the pathways, pictures and the connector words to assist you with piecing the page together.
Pictent Filter
The 3rd level filter is the Pictent Filter which takes your memory and recall of the IQ Matrix page to yet another level. Both the content and pictures have been removed from this filter forcing you to recreate the IQ Matrix page without the help of associative pictures that assisted you with memory and recall at the 2nd filter level.
Freehand Filter
The 4th and most advanced filter is the Freehand Filter. Here everything has been removed except for the central structure of the IQ Matrix and the major topics branching from it. There are two ways you can use this filter. Firstly, to recreate the IQ Matrix page from memory, or secondly to draw up your own IQ Matrix with the topics and sections that are most relevant to you.
▶ What is an IQ Matrix workbook?
An IQ Matrix workbook is much like a novel book summary or book report bringing together key concepts and representing them in a visual format much like mind mapping and concept mapping has done in the past. Yet this isn't any ordinary Study Guide. Through the use of visual filters the student learns about key ideas of the Study Guide in an interactive workbook format. Each filter builds on the previous filters helping the student to gain a full comprehensive understanding of the book summary notes while building a visual photographic representation of the entire plot and related themes within their mind.
IQ Matrix workbooks are currently available for eight classic Shakespearean plays including:
- Hamlet
- Julius Caesar
- King Lear
- Macbeth
- Othello
- Richard III
- Romeo and Juliet
- The Tempest

Using an IQ Matrix
▶ What is the MasterMind Matrix chart, and how does it work?
The MasterMind Matrix chart presents a comprehensive psychological breakdown of everything that makes up who we are as a thinking human being.
The MasterMind Matrix Chart is comprised of 200+ life specific segments that we must learn to master if we seek to take complete and total control over our daily choices and decisions. Each individual IQ Matrix map represents only one fragment or piece of the MasterMind Matrix chart, thusly helping you to expand your understanding of the MasterMind Matrix life coaching process to a profoundly deep level of understanding.
The MasterMind Matrix provides a comprehensive macro overview of our entire psychological experience of reality, while each individual IQ Matrix map provides a comprehensive micro overview of a small area of the MasterMind Matrix that you can use and immediately apply into your life.

▶ Is there a special way of reading each IQ Matrix?
For a long time it was believed that it was always going to be too difficult reading somebody else’s mind map. It simply could not be done, given the fact that everybody thinks in a very individualistic way that is unique to their train of thought and habitual patterns of processing information.
I wanted to disprove this belief by creating a mind map that could be read and understood by anybody. For this very reason each IQ Matrix is structured into “spoken sentences” using “full-stops” and other punctuations.
The IQ Matrix isn’t just a set of jumbled words that have been pieced together. Instead, it is designed as a comprehensive information catalog and reference guide you can use to keep you sharp and focused on what is most important in your life and the skills that you are wanting to improve and master.
Even though an IQ Matrix is relatively easy to read and follow, I have however created a Guide for Beginner's that will walk you step-by-step through the process of reading an IQ Matrix.
▶ Where can I find more information about how to use an IQ Matrix?
I've created an IQ Matrix Guide for Beginners that you can download to your computer and read at your convenience. This eBook and accompanying mind map delves into how to use and read through an IQ Matrix so that you are able to gain the most value from the time you spend applying the information into your life.
In addition to this, I've also written up an article that walks you through step-by-step how you can immediately use and apply the information sourced from an IQ Matrix into your life. You can read this article here.
▶ I just purchased an IQ Matrix… What do I do now?
An IQ Matrix is designed as a complete reference information tool that you can easily refer to on a daily basis to help you stay on track with your life’s goals, tasks, priorities, skills, and objectives.
Once you purchase an IQ Matrix map — or download one of the sample maps — that is applicable to your current life circumstances, your very 1st step is to pin it up…
- On a wall
- Next to your office desk
- Beside your computer
- On the refrigerator
- Beside your bed
- On the bathroom mirror
Developing an IQ Matrix
▶ How did the concept of an IQ Matrix originate?
The development of the IQ Matrix concept was more of a journey rather than a sudden revelation.
I began using visual maps for learning while I was undertaking a Psychology and later a Business degree at University. Back then the concept of making a living using mind maps was far from my mind; nevertheless I was consistently experimenting with new strategies and ideas on how to cut down my study time and accelerate my learning ability.
Over these critical years the concepts and foundations slowly started to piece together – particularly after I was introduced to a mind mapping book written by Tony Buzan. I incorporated these mind mapping principles into my study routine and discovered that they helped me enhance my understanding of the material in ways I had not expected. For starters I was saving an incredible amount of time, and learning for the first time had become very easy, insightful, enjoyable and exciting. My University marks immediately improved and I discovered something incredibly fascinating that I never thought I had the potential to do: I developed the capacity for a photographic memory.
Over the coming years I would do further research into not only mind mapping but also concept mapping, question mapping, radial mapping, linear mapping, interactive mapping, comparison mapping, hierarchical mapping, convergent mapping, cyclical mapping, flowcharting and many other forms of visual thinking. I thought that if I could somehow combine the most potent and effective features and ideas from each map-type that I could dramatically accelerate my learning potential and ability.
Soon these strategies evolved from paper mapping to computerised mapping, giving birth to the concept that is known today as an IQ Matrix.
▶ How long does it take you to create each IQ Matrix?
To create the actual IQ Matrix doesn’t take very long at all. Although it’s like any skill you learn for the first time – it simply takes some time and patience to master and perfect the method before you become proficient.
Initially creating one IQ Matrix took me almost 1 week of full-time development. However, over months of practicing and perfecting the technique, I am now able to complete one IQ Matrix in about 15 hours of solid work. Although creating the mind map is only one step of the process.
I must also research and piece together the information about the topic I am creating into a format that will fit the IQ Matrix design. I use other mind mapping software applications for this purpose. This by itself can take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. After which the IQ Matrix image needs to be altered and prepared for distribution through the site, and in addition to this a blog post or eBook will need to be written that explains the concepts presented within the map. This process can take an extra 3 to 4 days. For this reason, given my time constraints, it is very difficult to create more than one IQ Matrix.
▶ How do you create each IQ Matrix?
This is one of the most common questions I am asked on a weekly basis. And it is a question I must duck-under for the time being. The reason why I am not giving away the technique and method I use to create each IQ Matrix, is because I am planning to release an online instructional course that will describe and visually teach this method sometime in the future.
What I can hint-at is that I use a combination of tools to create each IQ Matrix. None of these tools actually involve a specific mind mapping software package, although I do use mind mapping software for brainstorming and information collection purposes.
In time, all will be revealed.

Thanks!

Hi Susan,
Yes, that’s perfectly fine. Please feel free to use it on your Facebook page. You may need to resize the image or crop it to fit the dimensions you require. The file is in pdf format, however you can convert the pdf file into a jpeg image file or any other image format if required.
I hope this helps.
