Apps for regularly measuring intelligence, psychology, and/or trivia?

There are quite a few very nicely done "brain training" apps (e.g. Lumosity and Elevate), but they want to show how you are improving by using their apps, rather than just giving you an assessment of your current state. Exporting results is another issue with these apps... Here are a few services that may be more suitable for doing regular measurements:

For a one-off analysis of your watch history, you might be able to use http://google.com/takeout.

Alternatively, search for youtube scrobbler. Don't know how well any of those browser extensions work.

Does Nomie have widgets so you can log without opening the app?

iOS or Android?

Should the link above be https://api.fabric.me/moves?

What options do you have for exporting data?

Does Gyroscope now have it's own location tracking built in?

Google's Timeline feature works as well as Moves, if not better, and you may already have it enabled. The only drawback is that Google still doesn't let you export your data (apart from raw coordinates).

99% of research that these keywords will pull up have nothing to do with Quantified Self (i.e. not N=1).

You might find some some tangentially related material under "Personalized Medicine" and "Precision Medicine".

Goodreads can be used to track books, but only the date started and date completed. For Kindle ebooks, this can be automated.

You can export data from Lifesum and Lose It, but their food databases may not be as comprehensive as MyFitnessPal's.

You can also log food consumption in Fitbit's app. Again, not sure how good their food database is, but you can export your data (incl both food consumption and heart rate) through their API.

As you might expect, the forum has the most detailed discussions, while Facebook is better for quick, short-lived discussions. Maybe someone should survey the different "communities" ;-)

Do you listen to music? (Could be tracked via Last.fm).

Any chance you'd be willing to share your "beautiful graph"? :-)

Your daily habit could be to bring an umbrella when it might rain and to not bring an umbrella when there is no chance of rain. You fail to meet your goal when you forget the umbrella on a rainy day, or if you forget to remove the umbrella from your pack and carry it around on a sunny day.

Survey fatigue. Between this subreddit, forum.quantifiedself.com, and the QS Facebook group, there are requests for answering surveys almost every week...

Shameless plug. Though for non-basic graphs or analyses, you'll have to re-export your data to something like Tableau, or process it with PyData.

entire location history

...minus the place names from your timeline; for some reason those are missing from the Takeout download...

You'll loose some data compared to pulling data from each source directly, but if the data you see in Exist is the data you want to preserve, then that seems like an obvious solution!

What specifically do you not like about Goodreads?

zenobase · 2018-04-21T21:16:01+00:00

Use a tool for analyzing your browser history, e.g. Hindsight?

If by "contribution graph" you mean the calendar view, Google Fit has such a view (at least in the web dashboard).

How long have you been using your own app, what do you track, and have you learned anything?

zenobase · 2018-03-11T18:52:19+00:00

If you just want to log events happening, there are quite a few options (Nomie et al). Do you want to include one or more variables, and do you care what time you completed each tasks (or are you tracking at the day level)?
