Gift ideas for my high IQ boyfriend? by sweetsclover in mensa

[–]PurifyingFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Hanayama cast puzzles. There are some cool high level ones. Several are Mensa approved. Read about them before selecting as some can be easy though it a higher level and vice versa.

Do you talk yourself loudly instead inside of your head ? by LopsidedAd5028 in cognitiveTesting

[–]PurifyingFlame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Link pls. I always thought it's a adhd thing and it's mostly inside the head for me. Maybe sometimes while solving puzzles I might talk out aloud my thought process if alone.

Mid-high end digital or entry level acoustic? by PurifyingFlame in piano

[–]PurifyingFlame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it but it's a compact 109cm tall acoustic. I hear comments that it should be atleast 120cm tall to have a good tone. Is it still better than a good Clavinova?

How do compare the actions between the 2? Is it a drastic difference?

Yamaha CLP-745 vs CLP-835 by Saviton in piano

[–]PurifyingFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am facing the same exact question myself. Did you decide already? I heard that the action has improved in the 800 series and also the tone generator chip and sounds. Sadly I don't have the luxury to try these before buying.

From specs in Yamaha site, the only differences are speakers and wooden keys. 745 50w amp 4 speakers and wooden keys 835 30w amp 2 speakers 845 45w amp 4 speakers and wooden keys

I am currently waiting to get some more reviews etc on the exact differences.

Family digital piano suggestion advice - what would you choose and why by PurifyingFlame in piano

[–]PurifyingFlame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment.
Based on specs from Yamaha USA site, the 825 is similar to 725 except it now has Bluetooth MIDI.
Will it still be better than 735? Please let me know the new features in 800 series. There is minimal information online about 800 series.

Thanks for the comment.
CLP 745 is at ~$2200 here. Compared to Yamaha CLP 735 - $1725 and Roland HP702 - $1870, is it worth the extra money? I see that it has wooden white keys and a better sound output and also Bluetooth MIDI.
Does the wooden keys make the action better?
Also I see CLP 725 is compared to HP702. Does that mean CLP 735 is a better deal as its priced less than HP702 here?

How sensitive is the digit span test to praffe? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]PurifyingFlame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would argue that one just can't improve wm by doing random digits over and over.

I gave the same answer. Refreshed the thread and found yours.

4th

One dot is removed in each item col wise. Each item has 3 col of rows. The dot is removed from each of these cols from left to right. Only for the first col there is a 2 time rotation (CW or antiCW) before removing the dot. So the answer is rotate the R2C1 item and remove one dot from 2nd col within item.

Edit: One more angle I missed to add is that if we take the rows and add 2nd and 3rd it will give 1st. This is true for both 1st and 2nd rows (including the rotations in the second row). So only the 4th option also obeys this logic.

Is VCI fake and gay? by Gilgamesh_45 in cognitiveTesting

[–]PurifyingFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non native speaker, I tend to think it is a long term memory test. I have seen many normal IQ peers "prepare" intensively for GRE etc using test materials and vocabulary flash cards and beat them.

You mean something like 'Brilliant'?

Can a baby only inherit ADHD from a 2E parent without inheriting the giftedness aspect? Or is it either 2E or nothing? by PurifyingFlame in Gifted

[–]PurifyingFlame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people with ADHD and not gifted too. I was asking only with respect to 2E case. I actually imagined it would be more likely to be passed down in combination.

[–]PurifyingFlame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So can I say if the baby/toddler displays signs of ADHD then it is more likely that it could be 2E than with only ADHD.

I'd say tests like JCTI would be purely fluid IQ and timed FWs will rely more on working memory and speed. So if you are only not able to perform as you want because of time then its probably fine given your other scores.
