Let's boast about our IQ

Also that leaded gasoline began to be banned for motor vehicles in europe in the 80s, banned in the US by 1996, and banned world wide by 2021.
I think that that has a pretty significant impact on childhood IQ.

There are still many pollutants that could use being removed to improve this statistic aswell

Took an official IQ test that you can attach to your online portfolio and did really well.

How much did it cost?

[Animalia (Matti)]

It was free but in order to attach it to your portfolio and have a full report you have to pay like 20$ a year

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well that must sting a bit

[swooce]

I’m so intelligent, guys. /s

I’m pretty sure IQ tests aren’t always accurate… Especially the free ones…

[swooce]

You… realise that was sarcasm, right? You didn’t see the /s at the end of my message?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe I skipped over that part…

[swooce]

Regardless, when I have time, I’ll try to properly do this IQ test. It’s a bunch of misinformation but it’ll still be nice to see, right?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder how low of a score one could get on it…

[swooce]

That’s what I was thinking too… 66 was the lowest I could get, so, probably a estimate of like… 60? 55?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I presume a score even lower one could only get on a REAL IQ test

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Would someone on purpose choosing all the wrong answers on an IQ test technically show that they are smart for doing so?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That depends on how hard it is to guess the wrong answers

[GodOfKnowledge]

Intelligence is relatively stable throughout life, but there are methods that allow for an increase in Gf. The most common method is meditation, which has a low to moderate effect on Gf, and can increase SD by .35 in the best cases. Or just run a 5- 4 session/week DN-back circuit. Also has a low to moderate effect on Gf, moderate to high effect on memory though.

Lowk, if you AAVed the RIMS1 gene (c.2459G>A, p.Arg820His)^[1] mutation into your cerebrum, you may get some results. I’m not sure how linked it is to PROM1 varient though, so the degenerative effects on the eye may be a requirement.

I am not sure that’d be accessible to the average person

Lol, absolutely. Biotech has come a long way in terms of democitization and decentralization, the main limiter is really an available vector that would be able to cross into the brain and effect the tissue, without exorbinant treatments. It would also take a while to make sure the payload wasn’t going to pin or do something stupid in the process. I think it is achievable after a lot of effort (and $) though.

I have come across some research on Closed-loop neromodulation techniques that could break through the .35 SD limit for meditation, which would be a lot less risky short term.

I wonder if those “enhancements” would be considered improvement, or cheating…
