How to increase your IQ level ?

I like how at IQ 185 one becomes a jock.
A very counterintuitive finding, in my experience.

I'm just amazed at how the table starts at exceptionally high I.Q. ostensibly on the N(100,15) scale. Apparently those of us who scored high enough to get into Mensa (not that I would join) are still slaves to conditioning. And so many of the traits assigned to these astronomical I.Q. levels—by extensive empirical study, I suppose 🙄—are commonly exhibited by so many folks wallowing down in the "median sd" territory. You don't need a brain the size of a planet to appreciate Beethoven's 6th symphony.
 
IQ 145 in the table says "below this level and often above", so why was 145 chosen specifically, instead of any other number? Makes about as much sense as those ads that say "save up to 20% or more"
 
It is worth revisiting the table presented, see page 25 of the discussion, and practicing at the levels shown there.

Yes, there was a discussion of this table on page 25 of this thread. You did not participate except to claim you had a method you could use to raise you I.Q. to a much higher number. Since you did not engage in the actual discussion, there is nothing to "revisit."

...and practicing at the levels shown there.
You steadfastly refuse to describe what procedure we're supposed to "practice" in order to reach these lofty I.Q. levels.

For someone who claims to have a four-digit I.Q., you seem very simple-minded.
 
Pattyducking* is only one element of intelligence.

*Patterns generated through inductive reasoning.

Do you have any examples you could give? I tried a brief search but the other elements of intelligence listed just seemed like more pattern recognition and association applied to different areas like mathematical, verbal, emotional, musical, etc.
 
I will quote this table once again:

Who likes playing with numbers? Using the normal distribution probabilities (which, in real life wouldn't apply to the extreme tails of a human characteristic but only as abstract theory), here's some tables of the above-mentioned IQ's from 145 - 185 and their vanishingly remote frequencies.

Yours truly has analysed this per spreadsheet as follows:

And here's a bar chart version:

So, how likely do you think a person can go from 1Q 145 to 185 (sd 15)?

Answers on a postcard to Poland. ;)

This is pure insanity. I don't even understand what some of it is meant to mean. What the hell is "New creation"? Why does it seem to think everyone who isn't very gifted is "a slavery to conditioning" whatever that gibberish is meant to mean?

Why do you gain superpowers at 185 IQ? Do IQ tests even go that high normally? Most reputable ones (for an IQ test anyway) I've seen top out around 160-170.
