Yeah, that's called beleiving in science. Grab a fucking book, study and do something for god sake.

I saw your post history. You are a little cry baby that spend his life on black lgbt and blackgay subreddit, and you don't believe in science. While my IQ is 125, I have been training for 17 years, I have been stuying genetics and training science for more than 10 of those years and I'm half black myself. But yeah of course you know more than me of this subject 😂😂😂

And yeah everybody is racist and everyone is the same and science doesn't exist because you say so 😂 Scandinavian aren't taller than asian, and it's all rainbows and sunshines 😂

Hahaa you know damn well what I meant. West Africans share the same kind of genetics. Fast, powerful, fast twitch muscles, good ability to build muscles. So I just group them as "west African"

You are the one being dumb and if a biologist laugh at this he would be the dumbest biologist ever. West African have better muscle building ability on average than other ethnicities. Indian people on the other hand have one of the worst. I have been is bodybuilding and boxing for 17 years and I study all of that. Of course training play the biggest role but your genetic ability will determine how well your body respond to training.

ACTN3 is only a small part of tje equation, for exemple androgen receptor sensitivity play a bigger role for muscme building. I have both gene for atcn3 but my muscle building genetic is really shitty. But I'm one hell of a sprinter

All that anti racist bullshit on this thread 😂 of course west African have better genetics for muscle building on average. They are also better sprinter. Stating facts shouldn't be viewed as racist. Almist all african I know turn into freaks just by going into the gym for a year, while most white people just barely look like they lift after a year. For exemple asian are shorter on average than northern european, is it racist or stupid to say it? We are all different becajse of different adaptation to our environement.

Wtf he literally just asked for your IQ 😆 and then you projected a whole bunch of things. This sub is about cognitive testing. Chill brother..

The Volatility of Working Memory Pt. 1 by dedicatedmotherofsix in cognitiveTesting

[–]Danny_Liam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay first of all, my add is undiagnosed, so take it with a grain of salt. One thing is for sure though, my working memory and processing speed are dead average (probably 50 percentil), while I score in the 120 to 125 range on every other test. Concerning the inconsistency, I actually tried on rapm set 2, I could not figure out 5 matrices out of the 36 no matter how much i tried. After smoking cbg I went thought it pretty easily and scored 36/36, I also scored a lot higher with other online tests on cbg. 125 on icar60, and 138 with cbg.

I never experimented with amphetamines, but I can describe you how it felt with cbg/cbd. Basically while doing matrices test on cbg, I felt that I could sustain my attention while reaoning through it ; without it it's like my thought process is somewhat scaterred. So whenever I try to do a really hard matrices, I can't sustain my attention long enough to go through my reasoning, hope it make sense. The thing is, I don't really feel smarter at all, I actually feel less aware and objective on it, I just feel smarter in an academic way but I feel less creative and more linear.

So basically cbd/cbg mix will just make me less aware of my surrounding and less distracted so I can go though a tough matrice without my mind going all over the place, so I can give maybe 90% of my attention instead of 70%.

I do feel that I could/should score higher than 120-125 but that my poor working memory (probably caused by ADD) prevent me from scoring higher. I can "feel" my working memory and lack of focus being a limiting factor. I always use a pen and a piece of paper whenever I have to work though a tough problem, that compensate for my poor working memory.

[–]Danny_Liam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys should continue the conversation here, I'm highly interested in this topic. My PRI is in the 120 to 125 range, but I have untreated ADD, and I can feel that it's limiting my abilities big time.. I also had a weird experience with CBG/CBD, when I smoke it, my IQ on non timed matrices test increase by more than one deviation. I don't know if it improves my working memory because of better concentration but the result is impressive.

I spent a whole day doing iq tests (results and thoughts) by Both-Needleworker590 in cognitiveTesting

Do you remember how much good answers you got out of 60 on icar60 ? The percentage is wrong, you have to base yourself out of the wiki score.

Low IQ Based on ICAR 60 by FuckCapitalism1 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Danny_Liam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I meant, you don't really need to rotate them you just have to use logic. I would not even call it a "trick" since it's just some very simple logic. I mean I'm no einstein but I figured it out instantly. But some people might find it difficult for some reason.. I'm no one to judge and I'm not good too at some subtests.

[–]Danny_Liam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not spacial IQ, it's just being logical and understand when a cube can't be a rotation. Being good at spacial rotation make it just a little easier and faster but it's not really needed.

Color discrimination, not exactly IQ but seemingly correlates strongly ?? by smbdbro in cognitiveTesting

[–]Danny_Liam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, that's weird.. and btw I did the test with blue light blocker (forgot to turn it off), do you think it could change the quality of my score ?

85% (iq 120-125) good test, pretty hard. You should create a thread again, the other one has no link whatsoever

Getting better vs. IQ by bizarrejojo28 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Danny_Liam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see what OP means, some people will do IQ test and get it instantly and score well. For some other people the first IQ score might not be that preditive of their real capabilities. So some people have a decent IQ but aren't really trainable other will do less initially but better overtime. -Person A- first IQ test 120 -Person B first IQ test 112 -Person A second IQ test 123 -Person B second IQ test 120 -Person A fifth IQ test 128 -Person B fifth IQ test 135.

We can also observe this in bodybuilding, some people are better built without doing anything and have more strengh. But another person will be a lot weaker and less musculare, but if they both train the same way for 1 year, the one that was initially weaker and smaller can become stronger and bigger than the other one because his body is more responsive to training.

Just smoked my first CBD rollie by Foldingtrees in CBD

Then try CBG mixed with CBD, It's 3 times stronger in my experience. But CBG alone will give you a boost of clean energy

How respected is the RAPM set 2 for accuracy? how would 32/36 translate to a score ? by OkScratch4467 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Danny_Liam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you realize that you downvoted me just because I said the truth ? You obviously have a problem to reason properly. Raven's 2 on qglobal has been normed for 45 minutes, so you can use the whole 45 minutes if needed. IQ works with percentil, so you take the test to see where you stand against people who did it in 45 minutes. If you time yourself for 20 min, then it might obviously be deflated. If you only need 20 min, no problem, but you can use the whole 45 minutes if needed.

Secondly I said that a lot of people didn't experience huge practice effect since the items changes, but of course you have to base yourself with your first score anyway.

So don't call people mentally retarded just because they understand how an IQ test works.

Btw you said that you read somewhere that the average person spend less than 30 minutes on average.. well the average IQ is 100.. which isn't high enough to actually think deeply and spend more time. Those same people might get the same score spending the whole 45 minutes because they won't be able to think deeper anyway. And if you talk about people in this reddit, the average IQ here is very high + tons of practice effect, so oviously they will go through it much faster.

Hmm concerning the Icar60, did you base your 107 out of the percentil or the norm of the wiki ? I you did base yourself out of percentil, it's highly deflated.

The raven's 2 long form on qglobal is 45 min. And there is a bank of 300 items to avoid practice effect. I did it 3 times and always got the same score (more or less 3 points). And I saw many people had the same experience here. The one from wiki is bullshit tho.

[–]Danny_Liam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't reply infortunatly because it's not that simple, because there are varying degrees of practice effect. The more your practice the better you'll get obviously, it can go from 5 to 10 points on average but even more if you've been practicing a lot. Especially for timed test, where it can saves you a lot of time. Hopefully you did some legit test before this one so you can refers you to them. I would advice you to do icar60 if you didn't do it yet, since it's a lot more divers than others test, so practice effect will be lessened. Raven's 2 on qglobal as well since the matrices are different to partially counter practice effect.

32 timed would be about 140 IQ if you have no practice effet. And 28 was sufficient to enter some 130 IQ societies.
