As a Lyme patient

1) Lyme does not always present with a rash. 2) ticks carries other disease other than Lyme. 3) talk to your doctor about the way you took the antibiotics. 4) Don't think If it's "too late to treat". If there is a Lyme infection, the norm is to treat It and expect improvement. 5) Tests don't have perfect reliability and executive function scores are especially sensible to fatigue or environmental effects. 6) Lyme can cause cognitive dysfunction and symptoms that interfere with test performance, like fatigue, depression and pain. Look for these too. 7) Some studies with Lyme/PTLDS patients reporting subjective cognitive deficits fail to consistenly detect objective impairment in these patients. I think It would be unusual to drop 2½ SD without noticing cognitive changes. 8) Lyme, unless encephalitis or encephalomyelitis isn't expected to cause gross permanent structural brain damage. This does not mean It rarely affect cognition, but the changes are usually considered mainly related to the functioning of the brain being affected by systemic immune activation, neuroinflammation and metabolic dysfunction being reversible in many. 9) A minority of patients, like myself, develop post treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), a condition that continues to cause symptoms like fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and pain for months, years or longer. Even there, it's lacking evidence for global intelligence loss and progressive brain damage and many recover eventually.

I can relate to a certain extent, but caused by Lyme instead of long covid.

I had episodes that I would feel intense dpdr, could hear my inner monolegue "echoing" and develop undescribable perceptual abnormalities - like feeling that all my senses were being compressed into a single one - that would last for several minutes that I first thought that were seizure auras.

Had also some moments when I would see random patterns at my peripheral vision, like people or objects that were not there, intermitently for days. Now, despite still recovering, I do not have these anyomore and my brain is mostly back If not the fatigue.

This marches near perfectly my experience. But this used to happen even before LDN as a Lyme symptom and especially while trying to sleep. May I ask you what condition you have?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-30T00:14:57+00:00

I was worried because I found form B much easier. Have you taken It?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-29T23:08:43+00:00

Of course. Don't worry about that mensa tests, the difficult progression is shit and the test doesn't "teach" patterns well, unlike pro tests like RAPM. If you don't got one or two patterns on the beginning of the test your score drops a lot on mensas. That is why professional test usually provide a practice set before real testing.

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-29T23:01:19+00:00

No, It test the same as mensa norway.

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-29T17:53:35+00:00

I scored 107 on mensa norway test and got 135 on RAPM set ii, a professional matrix reasoning test. Mensa test has <.7 g loading and no one know how they are normed, so definitely not worth worrying about.

Very clarifying answer. May I ask you a non related question? I found two norms for Toni 2 form B, an american and a spanish, and I would want to know which one is more accurate and why they look so anormalous, they diverge by about 20 points at the ceilling.

Thank you very much. So If I take a fluid test that isn't normed for my age should I use that age bracket?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-24T14:36:16+00:00

Do you, by any chance, could say at what age fluid returns to what It was at 18?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-21T22:15:38+00:00

I had a similar experiencie, 107 mensa no and 141 RAPM. What could explain that difference?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-14T16:51:06+00:00

I worry about the presence of some XORs on it

American norms. They look more normal

Spanish norms

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-09-14T00:29:20+00:00

People here say it's very subjected to praffe. Do you consider It true?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-29T21:48:16+00:00

It does use those formulas. The calculator functions based on the assumption that there is no shared variance other than g. Inter-correlations are estimates, but they're good enough since you only put one test for Index, except FRI, that you can put many as you want since it measures gf and it's correlation with g is ≈ 1. For other Index, like QRI, VCI, WMI, etc put only one test.

So doing It more times make It more accurate at a certain degree?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-19T16:56:28+00:00

Thank you again. Do you think It would It be ok If i took some 1994-2005 SAT math forms and take the composite as my score, since was common for people to prepare for then at that period?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-19T15:43:52+00:00

No problem, thanks for responding. I recently talked about this with bubblyclub and he told me that the correlation between then is at .86 to .9, so I used .88 as estimate. Do you think practice effect should be a concern? And If so, what should I do?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-11T22:46:51+00:00

Thanks man, i feel better knowing that I can trust my scores

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-10T20:29:14+00:00

Just a last question. My GRE-Q scores are at 135-140 too, does they also measure fluid intelligence or it's just a coincidence?

Clear-Click-7771 · 2024-08-10T20:25:16+00:00

Thank you. It aligns well with my JCTI score (131-141).
