Hypothetically speaking, if I was fucking stupid and wanted to raise my raw IQ in early adulthood, what would be THE most cognitively stimulating activities I could possibly do habitually in order to best achieve this goal?

Please tell me about any activities or drugs have been scientifically proven to raise performance on IQ tests over time.

You can't raise IQ by any significant amount. What you listed only helps preserve whatever IQ he has, which is also important but not what he was asking for, which is basically impossible.
>>16132808
Memorizing the Bible used to be considered a sign of high IQ. Turns out, it somewhat is, not due to theological implications but because it demonstrates a highly superior memorization ability, which is one of the blocks upon which IQ stands. Not everyone with such superior levels of memorization ability is high IQ but almost everyone with high IQ was a well developed memorization ability.

Doesn't environment play a significant role in determining IQ during childhood and adolescence? Say I was still 19. Is there any environment I could put myself into or any habits I could adopt that could squeeze out even just a few remaining points of IQ?

man the people on this thread def have an IQ lower than +3 SD 15 (145) and mainly want to plug rightwing lifestyles

I think you need to research construct validity and how it relates to IQ. Not to be a redditor but what exactly about IQ is so valuable to you? If it is IQ in of itself literally just take the text over and over, even people of average intelligence can get very far and do more impressive feats than what IQ test.

This thread was interesting to me because this is what I did from 17-20 (rn) I am fairly into neuroscience and I read a bunch of publications to understand how exactly LSD influenced Neurogenesis and how to maximize your aptitude/potential. I can send a MEGA liink of the folder that has the journals.

Basically it was Drop lower end of Acid (80ug to 125 ug) every 2 weeks (microdosing is literally a waste of time moronic gimmick) you need something strong enough to actually alter your plasticity. Work on one testing category of the Stanford Binet V (if youre poor human benchmark/google IQ question banks) for 16 hours then sleep for 12. Sleep it the most important component. Your plasticity won't actually "set" until you sleep. Keep a track of this shit on Excel File/CSV to experiment what works best for you.

Again, Intelligence =/= Scoring High on IQ =/= Being Smart.

People claiming doing ____ makes them more intelligent are full of it. Actually use the scientific method.

I can say personally my little experiment although yielding good intellectual feats (memorizing obscene amount of info, quick calculations, and faster logic) left me a half-schizophrenic man since I had sever mental health issues when starting. Basically imagine tripping on LSD for all your life before committing yourself to this. I cant say whether it is awful but will change your life. You dont sound very smart but I dont think a lack of intelligence is your issue.

**test

also you need to actually research IQ and all cognitive testing. I spent an ungodly amount of time in my formative years, reading books/forums/quora posts about it. but even then I spent my youth "average" but fall in the highly gifted range (148 & 156) These models arent perfect. Again ask why you need a high IQ

OP here. This isn't me, I don't know why this anon wanted to pretend to be me.

>>16135091
I want a higher IQ because I would like to work in a certain scientific field (because it's what I enjoy), and my current mental faculties have left me feeling disappointed. I'm a slow learner, I have brain fog constantly (possibly unrelated), and I have trouble articulating myself. A slightly higher IQ would at least help me with the first thing.

I did a little bit of research just now and most studies I'm seeing conclude that LSD use is correlated with impaired cognitive ability over time while increasing the personality trait Openness. I doubt the altered plasticity would do anything more than give you a greater interest in whatever you're focusing on while high (since LSD stimulates the insight centers of the brain) so I honestly have a lot of doubt about your method. It might be that you just THINK you've made all sorts of cognitive improvements from LSD use because LSD tends to do that. I know this sounds Reddit but I don't think I'd try fucking with my brain unless there's multiple studies linking your treatment to higher cognitive performance. Thanks anyway.

Did you try beating Mike Tyson's Punchout on NES without password skips? It's a very speedy puzzle game cleverly disguised as a boxing game, completing the entire game takes some serious dedication and mental disipline, but after you master how to beat it you'll truly know how to "think quicker" than you could before plus any risk of early onset dementia will be drastically reduced for the rest of your life
