Just logged into my second account, my reaction time is 106ms. Maybe it’s anxiety, maybe it’s nerve damage. The arealme test gives better times than humanbenchmark, and I’ve been able to get below 100ms on it before without cheating.
For the first account, it’s 120ms. My first scores were bad, and the final score is the average of all submitted scores, I think. I’m sluggish right now so I can’t go faster than 135ms. Aim trainer 95% Verbal Memory 287 points (100.0%)
Other scores are deleted. My old account was probably on a throwaway email which is gone now. But I made it a goal to get top 99.9% in all tests, and I did at least that (10 years ago I think). Number memory I got 12 but now I don’t think I could get more than 8 on average, my working memory has gotten worse and I’m not sure how to train it again.
The tests are too hardware specific, and technique-specific. For verbal memory, connect the word you see with something, creating a one-way hash. If you try to create the same hash twice, you will notice. This type of memory is basically unlimited. I remember a study about people being shown a lot of images briefly, maybe not even a second, and being able to tell if they had seen them before with 80% accuracy. They did this for like months, having shown over 20000 images in total with no loss in recall.
I don’t remember the exact figures, and I can’t find the study now. But the problem with memory is recall, and if the test doesn’t require two-way association, then it’s not really memory.
For visual memory, just sit still. The image will remain on your retina. This is cheating and thus not interesting.
Now, I’m no genius by any means. I did one try on the chimp test, and while I did it half-assedly, I got below average.
On brainlabs.me I get between average and top 0.1%. I don’t play RTS. Lately I’m running on auto-pilot most of the time, some days ADHD medicine helps me think, other days it’s useless. IQ points seem to fall about 15-20 points when one is on vacation, and I think my brain is on vacation-mode. My cognition has gotten lazy and I really need to fix that. I don’t think I put effort into anything for years now, since my intuition usually carries me through everything well enough.
It feels like I’ve always been halfway genius and halfway mentally challenged. At times I’ve improved so much that I couldn’t recognize myself in just a week, at other times I struggle with basics. Could be a mix of ADHD and bipolar, so that I have months of being “stuck” and months of energy according to how well my neurotransmitters like me doing that period.
My experiences make for interesting data, but probably not useful data. I’m an anomaly who is only functional 5% of the time, but 5% is somehow enough, so I guess that’s impressive.
