Hey, it's Min Liu from The Art Of Verbal War where people learn to excel in verbal skills
So in a prior video that I made, I taught you two basic verbal fluency exercises
That you can use to train your verbal fluency
Now when I say basic, I don't mean ineffective
I just mean basic in the sense that these two exercises are actually pretty well known
And they're used by scientists and researchers everywhere
To assess verbal fluency and to see if people can train their verbal fluency
Using these two basic exercises
But today I'm going to teach you a more slightly advanced exercise
Which is a twist on these basic exercises that you can use to train your verbal fluency
And these are not basic, in the sense that they're not available to the public
You can't find them on the internet, or you can't find this exercise on the internet
You can only find it in my program Double Your Verbal Fluency In 30 Days
Now this exercise is a little bit different
Because it's more challenging than the basic phonetic fluency exercise in this video
And It's more challenging because you're going to have to search your mental vocabulary a little bit harder
In order to succeed in this exercise
So before I teach you that exercise, let's just recap what verbal fluency is
Verbal fluency is simply put as the ease with which you can access your mental vocabulary
And speak those words out
So if you want to be a great communicator or speaker
You're going to want to dial that verbal fluency to the max
And that's why I'm teaching you these exercises right now
Okay first get out your smartphone
Use the audio recorder app, press record and keep it running
In the next 60 seconds name all the words you can think of that start with the sound PL
If you run out of words during this exercise
Then use the sound BL
Keep your audio recorder running after these 60 seconds
Because you'll be doing this exercise two more times
And remember
Make sure you do this exercise out loud and not in your head
Let's get started
And now I want you to repeat this exercise for 60 seconds two more times
First you're gonna use the sound BR and DR if you run out of words
And in the third iteration, you're gonna repeat with the sound CL and TR
Okay now that you're done with all three exercises
I want you to listen to the audio file you recorded, add the number of words in the three sets
Except for repeats and proper nouns
Divide it by three and that is your average score
Please post this average score in the comments
List your average score, your age and gender
So, how did you guys do with this exercise?
It's a little bit more challenging than the basic phonetic fluency exercise, isn't it?
So, please please please leave your result in the comments below
Give us your average score, your gender and your age
So that we can start developing benchmark for what's considered an average score and a good score
Because there is no scientific consensus on what that is at the moment
Okay so if you enjoy this exercise but more importantly
If you want to dial your verbal fluency up to the max
