I.Q. levels are unstable

[Psychopath]

New research shows that, contrary to popular belief, your I.Q. level is not stable and it does not remain the same all throughout life, it peaks and declines.

The protein Brain Derived Neurological Factor is the protein responsible for your I.Q. level and the lack of BDNF is what's responsible for Alzheimer's disease among other forms of Dementia.

If this protein can be synthetically recreated at mass quantities in the form of a vitamin, one could, in theory, achieve genius level of current I.Q. standards.

nope.avi

You can increase your brain's production of BDNF with exercise.

You could buy a Bowflex. You don't need to leave the cave for that, you get somebody else to do it for you.

I don't do push ups, I tug and pull on a series of wires attached to a series of rubber sticks attached to the back of a metal beam.

Who the fuck thought this machine up?

how is that suprising? everyone knows your cognitive abilities increases with age and peaks at about 25 years old and then declines.

however, there is no mention of the term "intelligience quotient" in the article. because IQ is a measure of intelligience relative to the population of your age. it is not an absolute measurement of your current intelligence level.

on an unlated note, i agree that a persons IQ can fluctatues throught his life. if you use your brain more, your IQ may increase. similarly, IQ might decline over time if there is little stimulation.

The surprising aspect isn't the "what", it's the "how" and "why".

"I.Q." is in the name of the fucking article.

Look;

[i-am-ghey]

whoever mention the tern "IQ" in the title should be shot.

if you look at the article itself carefully, chances are you wouldn't see the letters "I" and "Q" typed next to each other.

So we can make a pill that can make people smarter?

ill bet itll be fucking expensive.

[Halberd]

I always found this pretty obvious to be honest.

An I.Q level is meant to be a rough projection of how logical you are, and in my experience sometimes I am a very logical person and sometimes I'm not.

I still understand though that an I.Q level isn't something to take too seriously but its a bit silly to say that your I.Q level means NOTHING at all.

No, but what they're describing characterizes an I.Q. level.

Um... An I.Q. test is a method of measuring the qualities of your cognitive faculties, not to ascertain which trait is dominant.

The tests to determine IQ are bogus.

I've been given a result of 104, 120-some (128?), and 132. That's a big difference.

[katabasis]

People should just measure intelligence in terms of standard deviations above or below the tested mean. This way all this IQ nonsense can be done away with for good.

(By the way, 15 IQ points = 1 standard deviation, and average = 100 of course.)

If your ever study psychology you learn that I.Q. test are often biased and don't really tell you anything accept your "mental age" among peers of the same age group. You can take a childrens I.Q. test and score really high no doubt

Yeah, but that kind of reinforces the point of this research; the mere fact that they had to readjust how they determine a person's I.Q. level based on age says a bundle.

No shit. The average IQ is designed to stay at 100 and is also dependent on your age. Also people can forget what they learned over time.

[CritcalOne]

IQ is only good on measuring how autistic you are.

It took people this long ot realize this?
