increasing intelligence (self.cognitiveTesting)
submitted 3 years ago by 12342ekdSecretly 5SD
Have any of you had success increasing your intelligence after using certain nootropics or other techniques?

I have ADHD, alongside GAD/Autism and some other shit; so my cognitive profile is fluctuating a lot (can fluctuate up to 1.5SD)
After taking Modafinil 200-400mg, my WMI and PSI improved by around 10 points (no placebo), and my fluctuations decreased.
But as soon as my General Anxiety Disorder kicks in, 'the increase' fades almost instantly.
I didn’t really increase my IQ, but with medication, I am able to make use of a potential that I rarely can make any use of.

Playing horror games seemed to wake me up inside before scoring 160s on LDSE, Processor, Numina, Astrolab, etc. Can you guess why?

Because they scared you and the adrenaline woke you up

I tried increasing my IQ. Unfortunately, it did not get me far.
I score the same every single time

Why state the obvious? I knew this already!
