Can you improve IQ by practicing IQ tests?
digi2y20

I did an iq test years ago and got 126, then did one this morning and got 88, which bothered me. So I looked up the kinds of things that are going on in the tests as it's been 30 years since I thought in any of these ways, then did one again 1hr later and got 112. For me personally, who never went to a school that focussed on exams or even did them, I have to first understand the framework they want answers in and I feel like I can now improve on that way of thinking and get a higher score so I'm not that impressed with iq tests as a measure of intelligence and in fact the more I think in that way the more I realise how dull it all is
