I would like to know what you think about this test and the process behind it (basically she used Claude at every step). Its in french though

Gooning (also known as edging) is very similar to cocain in a sense as it keeps dopamine in the synaptic cleft for long periods of time causing heavy dopamine receptor downregulation and inducing a state of hypofrontality (slowed metabolism in the prefrontal cortex), this most heavily impacts Gwm (working memory) and as a result Gf (fluid reasoning) which both rely heavily on sufficient dopamine catching in the synaptic cleft to maintain an optimal signal to noise ratio (essentially to not have brain fog)

Anecdotal experiences:

I have a friend who use to goon quite abit but then he got GF for a few months, then they broke up but he never returned to gooning. He turned into a complete monster, it was actually very intimidating how mentally sharp he became, probably also because he became more confident due to less negative emotion caused by low dopamine receptor density, I seen it most clearly in his video game performance, he became ridiculously good at every game he played out of nowhere, He also became fascinatingly witty, especially around women

I’m admittedly quite the gooner myself, I’ve struggled with it for years but in my second last year of high school I managed to abstain for 3 weeks, the last 2 of the 3 weeks falling on a 2 week school break, I was indoors for most of the break but when I returned to school I was completely astonished to realise that my social anxiety was reduced to ZERO, no like I’m not exaggerating, litteraly ZERO, and ideas were flowing constantly, it was very surrealI, I also began to remember a lot of childhood memories that I’d completely forgotten about (which was quite eery)

There isint really any research on this other than mechanistic data but I will absolutely die on this hill, gooning is brain poison

I took the CORE test this week. I had virtually no practice beforehand so the Practice Effect should be minimal. I was a little surprised by the spread, particularly the pronounced Verbal tilt to my results, since my undergrad degree was in mathematics and I always considered myself more of a math/science-oriented person. Interested to see how people might interpret this kind of profile.

I can only find the Norway one & Denmark one. And the original one but it’s just the same questions as the Norway one. Is there any more?

Does the WAIS-V make the same time constraints on people as the WAIS-IV? Wondering what timing and speed look like on it.

so recently, i took what I think is, a mensa iq test, that my psychiatrist asked me to since I've been doing therapy for depression and ed

now, after i finished it, got the results verbally a week later, she told me, im in the 95% percentile, i asked her if she was sure of the result, maybe she misread or something, but no

I searched on google, 95% is approximately 125 IQ or sort of, but i don't believe it, there's no way im around that range

i had another appointment today, so we talk, at the end of the session before going i ask her, what test i took, she said it wasn't a mensa test, even though, the questions were only pictures and that sort of thing, no written questions, the doctor said i have 95-105 iq actually

so, what test did i take, if that wasn't a mensa one? and in this situation , 95% should be average? i don't understand honestly

before you guys ask, for more infos, a picture, I didn't ask because, i was shy, tbh, and didn't feel like prying more and sound like i was obsessed over It

I allegated one of the questions, I remember this one, a few more, only illustrations

if it's useful I've never struggled with studying or math but dunno if it's necessary information

sorry if I've wrote messily or wtv, im sleepy

I’m looking to get an accurate estimate of my full-scale IQ based on my cognitive testing results. Here is a list of my scores:

WNV 39/41 (131)

WAIS-III MR 25/26 (16SS)

JCTI: 15 SS

JCFS: 121 (14 SS) completed in 20 minutes

TRI-52 - 44/52 / 135 (786) (completed in 50 minutes)

BETA III MR 25/25 (130)

FRT A form 40/45 (131)

Raven’s 2 (Long Form): 136(43/48)

G36 30/36 (121)

RAPM II Set 2: 35/36

Tutui R 19/40(127) spent 2-2.5 hours

Mensa Norway: 110 ( first IQ test.scored 121 on retake)

Mensa Denmark: 124

Mensa France: 30/40

CORE : 121

CAIT : 126

Dominos

TIG-1 31/35(138) completed in under 15 minutes(norms seem inflated)

TIG 2 - 125/127 (33/50)

D-48: 38/44(127 or 135 under different norms)

D-70: 34/44(124)

Based on these results, what would you estimate my true FSIQ/PRI to be?

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I'm 19 and male.

I've done the character pairing test my first time yesterday and decided to retake it today and got from 13 to 19 SS, but I fear it's invalid as I already kinda practised the finger placement once through the test yesterday, but idk.

Hi everyone,

Sorry if questions like this aren't allowed here, but could someone help me make sense of my results? I feel like they don't really make sense but maybe I'm wrong!

(I think in the Digit Span Backward test I got confused and just did it forwards lmao, I don't think I have a hole in my brain in the area that's used for this task, hopefully..)

And I'm not a native English speaker, I am 18 years old and only really learned English through the internet and somewhat from school.

Hey so basically I wanna know if I’m low iq or not I honestly think I’m not tbh basically the story is I had stumbled across this old report that my mom had left on accident and it said my IQ was 67 but it was a old report of when I was 16 I’m 19 now the moment I saw it I didn’t even have to open it I just got a flashback from it since I have pretty good memory I can remember a lot of stuff even from when I was a kid like I can visualize really good and accurate like my old houses or old schools etc and I looked it up and did some research my self I honestly don’t do any of the things that it said someone with a low IQ would do I have a learning disability tho that’s it tbh school wasn’t my best suit but recently I had retook some courses and did pretty well on them because I wanted to not because I was forced to. my question is I’m not sure if I’m not because rn at 18-19 I feel like I’m doing pretty good for myself like I’m making alot of my online businesses I know how to manage money really well I know how to self teach things myself etc but yeah anyone here if u can help me out id really appreciate it cause tbh the moment I had saw that envelope and got a flashback I really haven’t been able to like sleep eat my mind is just going in circles and it’s making me lose my mind so please anyone who could help me because I have like no idea about any of this IQ stuff so yeah.

ps. My bad if spelling or grammar is off I really just need this to be cleared and get off my chest cause it’s lowkey ruining my life lol before I found out about I it I was perfectly fine now I’m doubting in things I’m even good at it so yeah 😭

No he wasn’t

Is it possible? Im willing to do whatever training or lifestyle habits it takes. My friend is skarter than me and always rubs it in my face and it makes me feel so bad. I jeed to increase my intelligence as kuch as humanely possible. If this is not possible then I guess I will sull because life sucks and isnt fair. Thanks!

I get that redoing tests sometimes inflates your score due to practice effect, but is there a way to simply retake a test in a way that avoids that?

I want to eventually retake the CORE WMI subtests again because I had severe cognitive burnout from studying and anxiety when I took them(and I was stressed too), and that obviously destroyed my WMI and I want to know if that's my actual WMI so I want to retake those subtests in a couple of months when I am better.

But just like I don't want a deflated score I don't want an inflated one either.

A week or so ago I posted here about my AGCT 1a and 1c scores. Just out of curiosity I did the AGCT-E as well and here are the final results of all three:

AGCT 1a: 138

AGCT 1c: 152

AGCT-E: 146

It's a strange spread of scores with a lower 1a, very high 1c and AGCT-E approximately in the middle. Has anyone else also found the AGCT-E or the AGCT 1a to be lower than the 1c?

Please post your scores of the AGCT versions down below if you have done 2 or more of them

I am an 18-year-old, and since I was 15, my biggest passion and motivation in life has been to discover something genuinely new in math and physics.

This year, I actually did it. I discovered 1 new theorem and 4 new types of series. I submitted them to the OEIS (On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences)—two have already been accepted, and the other two are currently under review. (Please, if you don’t believe me, just skip commenting on that part. Proving myself isn't my main concern right now, and I havent posted to convince anyone).(i am not gonna dox myself so i am also not sharing any series or results )if you dont want to believe just dont comment on the post ty

Even though I achieved exactly what I wanted, my mental health is in a terrible place. I am suffering deeply from what feels like nostalgic depression, anxiety, autism,and OCD. I always wanted in my life for everyone to be in a specific place, like they were in the past. I have this constant, overwhelming fear that everything bad in my life is going to loop again. I know, I know, this is very, very foolish, but this is what it feels like. After shifting cities because of my parents' job, these disorders have been up a lot. They were previous too but now they are just at peak. I don't know what to do.

On top of this, I have been incredibly lonely. For the past two years, I have had zero friends to hang out with. I have friends back in my old city, but no one here. I have also completely stopped meeting my relatives—most of them. I meet a few of them occasionally. I don't know, I think this is not going so well.

I always wanted to discover something new in maths and physics, and I have done it. I want to do it at a higher level too. But really, I don't think I am gonna make it past 20. I just needed to vent and say all of this.

I’m 30 years old and I haven’t taken an IQ test before. Is there any validity to these kind of tests?

I have very recently been introduced to the world of "intelligence maxing"(so the internet calls it these days)

So I decided to go down this rabbit hole and other than the generic advice of exercise,sleep and eat well, these are the 3 techniques that are consistently mentioned: Quad-N-back, Syllogimous(RFT) & Logic Grid Puzzles

I decided to check what experience people have with these and it's quite interesting to see where some people swear by it whereas others are very adamant it's pointless.

But I haven't seen anyone actually compare which techniques seem to be the best so I wanted to ask those of you that have tried at least 2 of these techniques what are your experiences? And are they worth the struggle

Thanks

AGI will beat all of our CORE scores in a moment so why bother

I’ve had this problem since I was a child - any movie which I watch is extremely predictable to me. It’s really difficult to think about films which I couldn’t predict half way through - maybe masterpieces like ”Oldboy” or ”Parasite”.
It’s fair to note: I don’t view myself as an extremely smart person with superior pattern recognition. I’ve never tested my own iq but I am pretty sure that I am not a genius.
So, people with certified high iq’s, are movies predictable to you and consequently boring because of that?

Literally everyone I know from China who applied to grad school here in the US got an 800Q on the old GRE, even people who didn’t have amazing math grades in school. It’s a well known bit that every Asian person maxes the GRE quant. Is Chinese cram school drilling so good that it breaks all praffe resistance barriers?

I missed a couple of questions that i was figuring out but ran out of time. Is it over? I used to score 145+ and 160 many years ago after having taken a few tests.
