- Can you increase your IQ? Yes, you definitely can. In this video i explain how i increased my IQ by 13 points.
If you have ever wondered how to increase your IQ or if it is even possible to increase IQ (spoiler, it is!) then this is the video to watch. I took an official Mensa IQ test to prove that my IQ has increased by 13 points.
Leave a comment if you have any questions and i will address them in my next videos

This video was enlightening to me. Keep going
Very interested in your vids, keep posting!
Thanks for the motivation man!
I would be keen to hear about all of the other methods as well!
one idea i had for increasing spatial intelligence would be to try to draw from memory. like if you're wanting to sketch a character, instead of looking at them the entire time of drawing, you would just take a quick glance and try to remember as many details as possible. i don't know if it would actually be that effective but it made sense to me. getting better at drawing from memory would possibly enable you to think in clearer, more vivid images, thus making you a more visual learner
I've actually developed this ability quite substantially for note taking in particular. I used to have to glance back after a few words, but I eventually got to the point where I could copy a few sentences. Or read through a paragraph and copy down what is essential, faster.
What subtest did you improve the most from last iq test and by how many points? Just trying to know how well and broad the dual n back training transfers onto the specific subtests
I didn't pay for the full test report after my first test, and they are unable to provide it now, so all I know is that my max score on any index was 136 previously, and now the max is 149, and given that my minimum on any index now is 142 (quantitative) it appears every index has increased significantly
i gotta say the best feeling is beating your own record
Improvement within continuous facets tends to be logarithmic. With this in mind do you feel that the majority of that 13 point increase can be attributed to year or couple months of training? If not, why not? And do feel the improvement has been linear?
Yes the IQ point increase / brain training scores seem to follow a logarithmic progression, but at the same time each 1 point increase in IQ represents an exponentially stronger intelligence, so in terms of overall mental strength vs the general population the progress has been linear
@@InfiniteIQ I see, good answer.
@@InfiniteIQ also you ought to experiment with supplementation of megadoses (1 gram and up) of magnesium. There is a transporter protein which is responsible for delivery of magnesium to the brain. The gene which codes for this protein alone is associated with a 5% deviation in IQ. Start at a low dose.
@@Fabio-zd6oi I will give that another try. I tried 500mg before and didn't notice anything, likely because I get sufficient magnesium in my diet already
@@Fabio-zd6oi Do you have link to any research on this?
Was the first test the Raynolds Adaptable Intelligence test or was it different from the second test you took?
During the 3 years after your first test did you study the structure and the type of questions of the iq tests ?
Maybe the increase was mainly a fluctuation, luck, placebo effect or a combination of all. You would need to retest and see if the gains are consistent
No I avoided all IQ tests
How many questions are in the test and how much time do you have? I feel as if any time pressure would drastically lower my scores because once I get it in my head that I have a limited time and it becomes a massive distraction and often I will just be constantly thinking about the time when taking tests. Ik speed of problem solving is supposed to be a massive aspect of iq but I feel as if there are too many variables other than just intelligence that could affect someones ability to take a test under time pressure.
It was hundreds of questions and about 1.5hrs, other countries tests might be different though, this was Mensa Australia. Increased intelligence results in increased speed in solving simple problems as well as increased ability to solve more complex problems, so I think it is valid to have a speed component to the test
@@InfiniteIQ I don't per say think that intelligence isn't based somewhat on speed of solving simple problems, but that forcing someone to solve problems as fast as they can will not always give the most accurate result. Too many factors other than intelligence may collude with the results like current attention span and focus, nerves, sleep etc. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a time component, there probably should, but all I'm saying is I think more time but more difficult questions would generally be more accurate in determining iq.
Hope you reach your goal bro!
Thanks mate
Hello Daniel, i wanted to ask where you can find the Dual NBlack Program because i cant find it and i want to improve it like you did.
There are countless apps that you can download for mobile, if you're using a laptop then Brain Workshop is one that I use. But i change the settings to hard mode (quad n back)
Daniel did you take the human benchmark test? How much was your score on everything memory related?
Have you already tried image streaming and brain wave training? I'd be interested in possible experiences.
I have tried image streaming and found no effect. There is almost no research (or logical reasoning) to support those methods
What do you think about the age component in IQ gains? Not sure if you are below 30, but as fluid intelligence starts to decline as of that age it could impair IQ gains. What are your thoughts? Have you read anything about IQ gains / IQ training and age related effects?
I'm 33. Age doesn't make a difference, the rate of gain far outpaces the natural age related decline
@@InfiniteIQ Great. That's precisely what I need to know. Thanks for sharing
If you exercise it helps to prevent intelligence from decreasing, if the body is healthy the mind is healthy
what do you do when you can't focus?
on days where i don't have motivation to play n-back i can't focus and this causes my scores to drastically decrease, it doesn't make a difference if it's 8-back or 5-back it's just that i zone out and don't have the chance to memorize anything to start with since my mind is wandering elsewhere
You could try journaling before you train to clear your mind of excess thoughts
Try some coffee. Sounds like you might have ADHD
Great news sir! I've been searching for a video like this for years and this is the best so far on the topic. I'm starting with 20 mins a day of n-back
Thanks. And welcome to the club
Hello, do you think apps with brain games like CognyFit or NeuroNation really develop the brain or do you just improve the ability to play these games?
When you do the brain training are you supposed to be able to recall when a letter or position occurred for the number of times the n back is set, or does it still work to put in an answer because you know it can up before
Only if it occured n times back
@@InfiniteIQ thanks a lot
Hi, can you fully describe your visual/mental process while playing N-Back?
Is it like 4 "fields" for every input? Do you memorize rearranging every turn(drop first, add last) or block of 7 trials (for 7 back)?
Thanx
Hi, it is best to not use any strategy while doing the training, or even to really think about what you are doing at all. If you try and think and strategize in real time you will be trying to use your short term memory (slower), not your working memory (faster). Do what comes natural
@@InfiniteIQ I have some experience, currently on D5B. I have misunderstanding. Do you mean just observe sequences without everytime or block matching current and previous trials? Well, I think intuition works on lower lvl, but on higher need kind of strategy (I'm not talking about chunking sequence previous and current D8B for 4x D2B or 2x D4B)
I began training with holding 3 elements for 2 back and rearrange every turn - on 5-6, then i switched to dual n back, used strategy same strategy on D3B it was mentally tough, so i changed processing to 2 blocks/arrays. Now it's like i memorize 5 positions and 5 sounds, then start memorize and matching new block 5p and 5s vs previous and so on (8 replacements in 2 blocks with 45 trials)
I just don't get how intuitively any man can pass lvls on quad with so much inputs
@@Examse13 You will get better with time. I have been training for almost 3 years now, I started at quad 2 back and now train at quad 8 back, it takes time to progress. At the start your short term memory will be stronger than your working memory, so you will naturally try to use strategies etc (short term memory). Once your working memory gets stronger you will be able to train intuitively
@@InfiniteIQ share pls general advices, about schedule, how many attempts to 1 session, breaks, day/night training, switching between work/daily routine to train session and back to work, is it effective do 1 attempt if _i have time for it_ and continue after some time 30/60+mins - is like do 20-30 sessions during day
Thx
@@Examse13 yes I will make a video explaining my routine in more detail
Did this help you with your reasoning skills (things like induction, deduction,etc)? I imagine it would help a lot with being able to hold lots of information in your head at once, but I think waht is important is how you can transform/translate that information into something useful.
Yes definitely, check out my other videos for some of the benefits I have received
I try to find the studies about the dual n back games. Can you give me some links to the most interesting studies both proving that it works and proving it don't works?
There are a few links to studies on the Brain Workshop site
I have similar goal, but to understand hard math. I tried dual-n-back, I gave up on the audio, visual. Then later did just visual N-back, was able to train at 7-back. Do you thing dual,quad etc, have a significant effect on iq??
(I haven't got my iq measured)
Quad has a significant effect, dual effect is a lot smaller
Hi, you encouraged me to start playing quad n back and i took a digit span test and scored 6-7.
I hope to see improvement and i would like to know how much you scored?
I rarely check digit span, but when I checked months ago I could hold random 11 digit numbers in working memory with 100% recall
@@InfiniteIQ and you remebered that intuitively? just like how you played quad n back?
@@user-ru4qq3zr6g partially intuitive, partially rehearsed, partially stored in back of mind
would you like to take an digit span and jcti tests? digit span is for working memory and jcti for fluid and it dont have any practice effect on the real test and if you are intersted in it yiu can give me some comunicator where i would send you those (discored would be best for that)
hey thanks for sharing,
has your reading skills improved due to quad n back?
do you notice any difference between dual n back and quad n back in terms of real life experience?
Reading skills didnt change, quad is far superior to dual for real world benefits
@@InfiniteIQBut according to Jaeggi's study, the number of nbacks don't matter. For example, single n back is just as effective as dual n back. Why is it that way?
@@zarakamal4248 they haven't studied quad or long term training results
@@InfiniteIQ I see, thank you Daniel
Wow, congratulations!
Thanks
Hi, thank you for your video. I have plateaud on quad 4 back for a long time. Since 2 weeks I have been taking it seriously and train 30+ minutes a day sometimes an hour and stilly no improvement on the game. I do notice my brain is quite a bit sharper but I do many other forms of exercise like meditation. I feel quite disappointed, do you think i could break the plateau somehow even though I am not seeing any improvement?
Plateaus are normal, they can take a long time
@@InfiniteIQ Thank you bro, I was expecting it to go too fast. But even a 0.5% improvement every day will give massive results after a year.
@@InfiniteIQ Could you give me an idea of what Qnback level you were after 3,6,12,24 months?
@@sunnyshinecreation I posted my progress graph in the Brain Training video
Hello Sir. Like you, I'm also very interested in the possibility of increasing one's IQ. After researching the topic I, unfortunately, came to the assumption that IQ is completely genetic. My glimpse of hope still always brings me back to videos like yours, which make me a bit more optimistic. You said, that you feel the increase in IQ when it comes to processing speed, would you say your verbal intelligence increased as well? So are you better at expressing your thoughts verbally?
Good luck on your further journey.
Yes my verbal intelligence has also increased, but not my articulation/pronunciation/story telling ability etc, that is something that can only be improved through practice and repetition (one of the reasons for starting this channel)
Nothing is 100% hereditary, even height influenced by other factors, nutrition, environment, let alone iq,Iq has more environment influence.
Brother infinite, whats your opinion ?
Why do youu have the urge to increase your IQ?
Long term meditaition actually increases iq by 26% big thing is DO LEARNING STUFF WHEN UR YOUNG AND UR BRAIN IS PLASITC and learn a language if u want to increase verbal people have done experiments u CAN RAISE A GENIOUS
Hi man, Iam curious about the IQ test you make, did you make full IQ test or only memorie test? because i dont see how its possible to increase so much the logic of your brain by doing this
It was an official live timed mensa test
To improve your performance all you need to do is ponder harder 👍👍👍👍
Where can I find the training program?
Hi there, can you please tell me do you recomended quad and dual n back to me because I have 19 years? ✌
Yes quad n back, not dual
Hey Daniel, been doing Quad n back for some years but nowhere near quad 7 or quad 8 n back. How can I get to the next level?
You just need to stick with it and stay consistent, it's like building muscles at the gym
I have an important question , when you did the test again , did you feel that you were smarter faster and also did feel that in real life or not ?
Yes I could feel the change, I knew my intelligence had increased
@@InfiniteIQ Amazing! it really encourages me to keep on track! Hope you get that Billion!
What do you think about creatine?
Hi, what software of quad n back do you use?
I use the free Brain Workshop software
How has this training affected how fast you grasp information and your reading speed or your comprehension when you read, whenever you start a completely new topic? Please give a bunch of examples and make it as detailed as possible.
Reading speed hasn't changed, but my ability to understand new ideas and concepts is a lot faster. I find myself skimming when I read now, grasping the idea quickly at a foundational level without having to read everything on the page
@@InfiniteIQ How do you know its not placebo? You can easily tell your self you are better at those things and believe it
Infinite, how has your life changed and/or improved since your did the brain training, not including the higher IQ score?
Check the video I just uploaded
This channel has serious potential. You should update more frequently
Thanks, more videos coming soon
@@InfiniteIQYou may want to consider using lithium, psilocybin, Lion's Mane and ketamine among others of the same 4 respective categories, those being cortical thickeners, inter-network procommunicatives, myelinating agents for neural conduction speed and dendritogenics. Others would include, again, respectively, Omega-3s at moderately high dosages, LSD, Vitamin B12 or nicotine, and Bacopa monnieri.
@@InfiniteIQ Hey, could you make a video detailing your current progress? I'm really curious about all the benefits, big or small, that you've seen from boosting your working memory capacity and IQ. Some folks claim that training with dual-n-back for a year only gave them minimal benefits, while others have seen significant improvements in a shorter period of time. Why do you think these results differ so much, even when the same amount of training is done each day? I'm starting to wonder, do certain people just gain much more from this kind of training?
Could you also explain why there are so many people, including researchers, who claim that dual/quad-n-back doesn't work? It's clearly working for you, yet there are others who say they don't see any benefits, even after committing to a significant amount of training and being motivated to improve.
I'm 16 years old with an IQ of around 120, but my working memory is abysmal, so I'm trying to improve it. The more research I do on techniques like quad/dual-n-back to increase IQ, the more confused I get. There's a lot of mixed opinions out there. Some people claim their IQ has increased by 20 points using these methods, while others say they saw no change, no matter what they tried. There's also a theory that quad/dual-n-back just improves focus and concentration, which could give the illusion of increased working memory capacity. There are so many conflicting experiences and viewpoints that I'm just not sure what to think.
I really want to do well on my exams next year and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to maximize my intelligence. Right now, I struggle with several things: slow reading and processing speed, a low working memory, and poor focus and concentration. I'd really appreciate any advice you might have on what I could try to significantly raise my IQ in the next six months (if that's even possible to increase IQ).
I'm sure there are also plenty of people in the same boat as me - confused. Since you're pretty much the only one actively trying techniques to boost your IQ and documenting it on CZcams, it would be great if you could clarify things for everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Without the obvious limitations of this experiment (no placebo, nobody to compare it to, the practice effect, and the issue of motivation giving an increased score when compared to baseline). It also seems like you're very committed to the idea of if you work hard you can increase you're IQ making the data clearly skewed. A smaller issue but one that is likely to remediated because of its similarity is that you are using quad n back making it a little hard for me if I was even attempting to compare it to somebody else because almost all studies dealing with working memory training use dual n back. If your previous score is real you are also someone that most people cannot necessarily be said to be in your demographic. In one study it was found that people that got benefits towards their fluid intelligence the most were people that had structural parts of their brain associated with variable connectivity amongst various parts of the brain, and that they were the minority. This suggests that even if you did actually improve your fluid intelligence its likely not something that anyone can just do. But from my perspective the reason you achieved pretty favorable results is likely a combination of luck, grit, uniqueness, and a clear bias. (I'm not trying to attack you, sorry if it comes across that way).
I was not committed to the idea when I started, I was optimistic and thought the idea of being able to increase IQ made sense rationally, but I was still skeptical, and I estimated it would be a 50/50 chance that I would be completely wasting my time, which given the potential benefits was a worthwhile gamble of my time. I agree that grit was required, but the other factors you mentioned had nothing to do with it. It is the same as any type of physical training, most who start will give up and quit, and a small percentage who push through the pain will adapt and grow and reach a peak level of functioning
@@InfiniteIQ I'm sorry but there is an obvious bias, even if it may not be apparent which is why there is the placebo effect, and even if you suggest that you being rational and unlikely to succumb to irrational behavior, bias has been noted in even the most skeptical (aka scientists). And its even been noted that the placebo effect is greater in areas where there isn't alot of rationale behavior. I'm not trying to undermine your character but we have no idea if you are as you claimed to be fully rational and functioning being, and even if you are as I've stated that merely minimizes the effect of bias. And I honestly don't know about how the rest of my argument falls apart from what was noted, motivation was one you even state in your reply ("...and a small percentage who push through the pain will adapt and grow and reach a peak level of functioning") something akin to what I'd call a motivated outlook. And yes all the obvious problems I've noted are big issues if your trying to generalize your results to the whole population and even suggesting it worked with you. Typically in a psychological experiment to prove something definitely is happening in the mind you need large data (a couple hundred at least, but it also depends vastly on what type of study your doing) and usually the gold standard in this case a double blind placebo control would've been marvelous. I'm sorry but your no where near that.
Ah one more thing, about the motivation, in studies dealing with dual n back it was noted that on average they further they progressed in dual n back the more fluid intelligence transferred. However what mediated this transfer was motivation, in fact its been well known that merely offering people 100$ per question correct on an IQ test can improve peoples IQ by as much as 20 points. I recall Richard Feynman when he turned down Mensa when they asked if he wanted to join and he replied "my IQ isn't high enough(his school iq test registered he had a 125)". A psychologist many years later asked feynman if he could do another IQ test, but he asked Feynman specifically if he could try. Feynman was stunned afterwards as somehow his IQ registered at around 20 points higher. Any ways thought I'd make sure you understood how big motivation plays.
@@AsianTaile You seem to be missing the main point. Obviously a lot more research into the field of increasing intelligence needs to be done. One could wait for that research to be done (decades) or one could take action now, gambling time for a possible huge head start. And even if my results are partially or entirely due to the placebo effect, what difference does that make? If anything it would be even more impressive if the gain was due to the placebo effect
@@InfiniteIQ Well I haven't spoken to you or have seen many of your videos so its hard to infer exactly where your mind is and what exactly you are trying to prove. If you really think its amazing that the placebo effect can do so much then just keep on doing you I guess, but I'm gonna keep doing me because that'll have the same effect as to you except I'm spending more time doing things that have a better shot at making a happier than to "push through the pain", or hey even have a better shot at actually improving intellect. And yes, there are much much better more researched topics in the literature with more observational changes that have been noted in the brain and behaviorally, and do have scientific explanations as for a causal link as to why it might improve intelligence.
Hi Daniel.. How do you rest your brain in between N back sessions..? In a week how many day rest your brain..? Do you train all the day in the week..?
I train every second day to make sure I get enough rest
@@InfiniteIQ thanks for your input
sorry to bother you again but i just wanted to ask how i can check if the training is working.Also do you thing i have increased my iq by about 2 points since i have done 950 sessions in the last month keeping in mind that i am under the age of 26
The only way to measure is with an accurate IQ test spaced at least a year apart, short term gains are almost impossible to measure
This might sound a bit personal but what do you do for a living. Like with that high of an IQ what do you do. I'm sure most things that require logic come fairly easy to you. Almost must pay ALOT
I do small business + trading, with a focus on lifestyle optimization
Did you also try inducing synesthesia? I heard it correlates with a high iq - maybe induce it via code that makes all letters colorful

Did you gradually reach quad-8 back or manually switched to N=8 for quad?
Gradual. I started at quad 2 and worked my way up each level
My brain simply cannot process the interfacing between exceptionally high IQ and Muscle-y V-neck bro.

Hi daniel, I'm a new subscriber in this channel.
I am an engineering student and I find myself in difficulty when I have to solve some problems, despite the study. For this reason I would like to improve my fluid intelligence. I started dual n back the day before yesterday, the best I can do is dual 2 back ... In your opinion, should you try quad n back immediately, or continue with dual n back for a few months? My initial IQ is 100, if I managed to get to dual 10 back, it should correspond to an IQ of about 130 points ...
(Sorry for any mistakes, I'm Italian, I used google translate)
Start with Quad, dual is far less effective
@@InfiniteIQ Thanks for the reply
Update on my progress.
Almost a year of training, 5 days a week, apart from some breaks due to preparation university exams and other personal problems.
I added image streaming to my training routine, about 15-20 minutes a day (+ 30 minutes of quad n back).
Lately I have also added creatine, about 3 grams per day.
I reached level 4 in the quad n back.
11 months ago I was getting an average of 100-110 on IQ tests (all online; pre-test canteen Norway and pre-test canteen Denmark, + other rapid tests), level 1-2 quad.
Now I get scores between 130 and 135.
It's a big difference.
Small reflection on the two types of training: in my experience, quad n back is more suitable for matrix reasoning, puzzles, etc. Problems in which visuospatial reasoning is predominant. I say this because I noticed that IQ test scores correlated with level in the quad. I believe it is appropriate to also take into consideration the level of interference (around 20% in my case) to have a more precise estimate.
I didn't notice any correlation in tests that mainly measure verbal intelligence, for example finding differences between words, understanding analogies, etc. but I noticed that the scores on these tests increased after introducing image streaming. So, regarding verbal intelligence, I believe that image streaming can give better results.
As regards the benefits I obtained from the two types of training, I noticed a greater speed of learning, a better problem solving ability (especially in subjects such as mathematics and computer science) and a more complex syntax.
I am able to have a depth of analysis better than before I started training. My strategic skills have also improved. I also add a better awareness of the origin of the emotions I feel, therefore better management of emotions. Less mental effort when thinking about abstract concepts.
Nothing else to add for now.
@@Alex-li8bzas objective as u can br how much do u think it has affected your day to day thinking , do u feel much more spontaneously smart in all things in general , also be aware of the placebo effect .
@@newfaction3435
As for the benefits I've seen in real life:
- Greater processing speed, less time required to formulate a speech.
- Greater analysis capacity. - It is easier to relate apparently detached concepts.
- Slight improvement in vision.
- My mind extrapolates patterns automatically, for example I hear another person speaking and the thought appears "this person is saying this for x reason". Therefore greater ability to understand the intentions of others.
- Better introspection, I can manage my emotions better.
- Some irrational fears have decreased, I imagine due to the improvement of the areas of the brain responsible for logical reasoning, in short it is easier to rationalize certain fears. (I have read some studies that tested working memory training, with dual n back, in the adjuvant treatment of psychological pathologies).
- Improved ability to concentrate.
- Less difficulty in understanding abstract concepts, typical of mathematics and computer science.
- Ease of finding "holes" in speeches.
Maybe I'm forgetting something. If I notice anything else, I'll update the comment.
Unfortunately, these benefits are not always present, it depends a lot on the amount of energy I have available.
Sorry if this seems irrelevant, but how is the Mensa AU test structured?
Multiple sections, hundreds of questions, timed
All within 75 minutes?
I am almost 13.
Some months ago i've been test to have an IQ of 150, but the people that tested me said i was very distracted, and i actually probably have an IQ of 160+.
Do you think it would work for me, too?
At your age I would not recommend intensive brain training like I have done, as your brain is still going through a maturation process that will continue well into your 20's
I would recommend focusing on how you can improve your social skills to a peak level (this can be trained even easier than IQ) and focus on learning a high value skill that you can become world class at. Those are far more important to your long term success/happiness, particularly as your IQ is already very high. Once you are in your 20's and have mastered those two areas you can then look into increasing your intelligence further if you see a need for it
@@InfiniteIQ got It, thanks!
im 13 rn and if i keep on doing quad n back at this young age then will it damage my brain since you said that you wouldn't recommend it?
@@user-wy3zv9or7c It wont damage your brain, but there may be some negative side effects at your age, simply because your brain is still a decade away from reaching it's natural state. If you think you need help in school with learning/focusing then I highly recommend this training. If you aren't having any difficulties at school, then I would suggest focusing on an activity that would have more value for your age, such as working to master social skills, or studying a high value skill

What about neuroplastisty and neurogenesis for people saying he is biased we need people like him to change conventional thinking because once thought the brain was hard as rigid and cant be changed 3 decades later things are not the same and doctors have ultra conservative point of view i wanna reach to the channel owners articles from a respectable journal frontiers suggets that gray matter volume can actually increase when you learn new language especially a orthographic language like Chinese it has bigger associations with the visual cortex and ill link my studies for further evaluation I already sent it to neurologist
I have foggy brain and scattered thats why i reached your channel i got mercury toxins and I have absent minded i been neglected and called mean names that psychologically traumatized me being excluded is extremely hurtful while i have adhd inattentive type I think you could help me or at least i can show u what I found over the research paper i been reading
Yes neuroplasticity and neurogenesis are very real. There are many ways to increase intelligence and boost brain function
how could i find this training ?
I have made another video where I give more details
at what adge did you take the fistst test and at what adge the second?
29 and 32
@@InfiniteIQ thank you. You have great content
Did you find that the training was quite stimulating and that it disrupted your sleep at all?
The opposite actually, I sleep a lot deeper now, likely because my brain needs more rest
Are you going to take another iq test? You said you would do one this years summer right?
Yes i will retest when I hit quad 9 back
flynn effect?
How is it better to do the dual n back every day or only 5 days a week?
I just recently turned 13. My IQ is in the 99.99th percentile and my EQ is already exceptionally high. What would you recommend? Ive seen you say that someone my age should “ focus on a skill” but im on my way to becoming a national debate champion and im not sure what else to do. Do I pick up a new skill? My brain HAS to consume more knowledge or it isn’t satisfied. What are your recommendations?
Debate is a good skill, but it only really leads to politics
You could start a CZcams channel, you could debate people on the channel and within 10 years you could be as big as Ben Shapiro etc
There is another method also that would compliment the N-Back, but I have to wonder at what point does one hit a plateau; I guess that’s still in the experimental stage.
What method ?
@@ywominona777 image streaming
how do you find the quadnback
I use Brain Workshop on laptop
Nice
Where did you find the quadNback
Brain Workshop
a few more years of that brain training and you gon be the smartest being in the whole universe bro
That's the plan
What is
DualNback & QuadNback
I made a separate video that goes into more detail
@@InfiniteIQ Which one???
Were your tests proctored?
Yes
Hello. Do you feel that you have become smarter in life?
(do you feel it even without taking the test?)
When I increased my IQ by 5-10 points, I realized how stupid I was before (in comparison, of course). Did you have the same feeling?
Yes the increase in intelligence is very clear and obvious in everyday life
@@InfiniteIQ do you have any specific examples?
@@jaxxx69 chess tactical ability has increased 2.5 standard deviations
Hello Lunar,
Could you please tell how did you rise your IQ ?
Thank you
Did you notice any improvements in your day-to-day life from doing this?
Yes check my other vids for details
are 1.8 sec intervals too fast
That would be fine, I prefer the default setting so I can have consistency in my performance records
Where can we play this game? I can’t seem to find it.

I think its funny that people think IQ is a fixed value. Nothing in our lifes is. Well, we do have genetic limits and differences, thats for sure. But ofc you can increase your IQ-score if you really want to, for whatever reason there is. Maths, puzzle, problem solving, etc. theres tons of ways to train and improve. Like, the very first time you play the piano will be pretty bad. With lots of practice you WILL get better, much better. Surely there are limits to this but I‘m sure most people won't go that far in their lifetimes. So yes, I think its arguably pretty stupid to assume IQ is a fixed value
I will give an IQ question as an example of how to increase IQ. If this comment gets 2 or more responses I'll post the answer with the explanation.
What is the next number based on the pattern: 7, 14, 50, 16, 80
A. 20
B. 11
C. 9
D. 72
Can somebody confirm that intelligence can be increased? i would like to increase my intelligence through reading classic novels and doing cardio/weightlifting.
Did you watch the video, i have proven it
I was just asking for more proof but it seems legit @@InfiniteIQ
hello i would like to do the same iq test you did how can i do it
It was the official mensa entrance test in Australia
@@InfiniteIQ okay do you know any free iq test websites other than mensas that i can trust
@@InfiniteIQ also i have really been trying to increase my iq for 2 months and have seen little to no improvement and i am starting to lose hope. i have done a lot of iq tests and that is not good since i am used to the formula of them whta do you thinki i should do
@@user-en8gi3ys4c try some of the diet and lifestyle optimizations I recommend in my other videos, they can be as effective as the training
@@InfiniteIQ thank you i am still curious how long should i do it per day
Whete to play quad n back
I'm here to inform you if you've achieved your goal , Egotistical intelligence will become ever more powerful than Artificial intelligence and all Intelligencezzz !
What are you going to do with this intelligence?
My goal is to make a billion dollars

You will progress, it takes time
@@InfiniteIQ ty ❤, u did start at the quad for the very first time? Or u did Improve like every some time?
@@InfiniteIQ I have an IQ of 142, tryna get to 150+ asap gonna do it like 3 hours a day or smth ty ❤
@@InfiniteIQ and my last question, my memory is like really weak, so I mean would that like over time get me more points of iq
@@dripsquidward7294 3hrs a day is overtraining. You would likely see negative results if you did that much
Maybe neurofeedback can be useful?
Is way moore than JUST very unrealistic. 195 is ultra-genius, perharps 1 man per generation. I am affraid you are dreaming, especially 13 points is allready diffrence like between student and doctor. On the other hand its better to have any goal than none... Good film.
There is no reason why 195 wouldn't be possible
@@InfiniteIQ There actually is. I mentioned about in the previous message. I guess that to gain even 30 points diffrence(its diffrent person to be honest), there must appear some gene mutation or must be used some chemical booster much stronger than Adderal(if you know some, let me know..:) ) However 13 points is super good result. Dont take me wrong, I dont claim you are stupid. Prabobly smarter than others, but very unlikely genius. Sry for eventual language mistakes.
@@robertrutkowski2968 humans are infinitely malleable, we are adaption machines. This is why 195 IQ is possible, and if it means becoming a completely different person then that is what will happen, I consider myself almost unrecognizable already after just a 13 point gain
Well...i still claim is impossible. The limits are build-in our genotype. For the same reason people with trisomia of 21-st chromosome (Down Disease ) never approach doctor degree or never understand things of bigger complexity than hoovering a floor. Diffrence beetween us and ultra-genius with 195 iq is even bigger than between us and people with Down.
But...lets say there is chance. What for? Do you know that people who had iq around 200 just didn't cope with that, they saw and understood things we never even dreamt about. And finally they just lost their mind. Example? William James Sidiss.
BTW, do you use any nootropics..? I do use and I noticed some improovement..
It is not possible to increase the fluid IQ, when we practice some tests or set of tests due to practice and familiarity the score may increase and if we test it, it will be more of crystallized IQ because then as we have prior learning, if given a set of entirely now problems, we can witness that the ability to solve the problem will drop down and comes at natural pace.
Note, if some is scoring less in IQ due to some psychological conditions like stress or anxiety...etc. That is different though. That will give get change in score if the psychological conditions are corrected though.
Obviously you didn't watch the whole video. Do yourself a favor
But having had increased your IQ like you said means that by extension your memory has been incremented which means “i increased my memory” but then you say ur argument is valid of having increased your IQ because you didn’t remember. Did I not delineate a proof that you didn’t increase your iq by contradiction?
Working memory increased, not long term memory
@@InfiniteIQ oh thanks for the explanation man. How's it going btw? we all find inspiration in this very compelling experiment. Any updates? it'd be cool to actually see you go up to 12n back.
Did he mention his n-back level?
