And how many points in each specific case (let's say average)?
>bad sleeping
>anxiety
>intrusive thoughts (inferiority, discomfort, anger)
>poor eating habits (junk food or eating little)
How could this influence an IQ test?

Can't intrusive thoughts cause you to be more prone to making mistakes due to lack of concentration / analysis?

I dont think so. I think it can hurt your ability to utilize your intelligence, but based on my own experiences and some stories I have read, your IQ more or less remains constant, although as you age I believe your fluid intelligence decreases.

In my experience those things you described have impacted my thought processes, but when the issues were alleviated I felt a return to baseline cognitive ability. I also used hard drugs and drank for am extensive period of time and seem to have recovered without any severe cognitive impairment. More objectively, my score on standardized tests did not increase or decrease much when comparing before, during, and after.

I read a similar story of someone who scored high on an IQ test as a child, went through a long period of meth use/meth related sleep deprivation. They said after many years of that lifestyle, they took an IQ test and scored even higher than when they took one as a child.

Not much really
>How could this influence an IQ test?
Depends on the test, If the test is heavily reliant on short term memory and concentration, a lot probably. If it's a verbal or crystallized IQ test, it won't effect it whatsoever.

i think it's mostly because working memory isn't a heavy factor in IQ tests(cause it's the most variable) and some drugs like weed and psychedelics would increase your pattern recognition ability but in an environment where you want to learn it's a huge hindrance cause your working memory is garbage. meth would probably lead to a better verbal IQ even after its use even

Of course bad sleep/anxiety influences the test. Being tired decreases your performance? No shit, sherlock.
I just want to point out, for once again, that iq tests are stupid. Verbal tests depend on language knowledge and memory (long term memory, so no brainpower etc.) more than thinking/logic. Non-verbal tests are basically rotations/shifts/xor.
I believe that iq is a valid measure but an uncountable one since the iq tests are flawed.

If sleep reduces your IQ, then how did Tesla stay a genius despite only sleeping 2-3 hours per day?

there's probably no way to verify how much he was sleeping other than his word but the way he describes it is akin to bipolar mania

>I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."

the so called "flight of ideas" that they get is like this and he just channeled it altho for all we know he couldve sustained a real uberman schedule for years

You can also just learn the correct answers on the test and intentionally get all of them wrong.
Or for kicks get a specific number right so you can precisely select your low IQ number!
If I did this, I would have an IQ of 4.

none of this things reduce your iq imho, only make you tired and or alter your concentration in a bad way, so nothing long lasting.

If you sleep under 5 hours for more than a week or so than try to sleep more(genius ik)
after a few days you wont have any negative side effects of little sleep.

I dont think junkfood or not matters, only if you eat too much it will make you tired, or if you eat not enough you will also be tired or will get a headache.

Anxiety can drastically reduce your thinking effectiveness but how often are you really in a very anxiety inducing situations?

Intrusive thoughts can mentally drain you but for me, if I focus on something intrusive toughts arent a problem.

>>bad sleeping
best case: no effect
worst case: you answer the first question wrong, then sleep through the rest of the test, netting you 0-IQ

>>anxiety
best case: no effect
worst case: you have a mental break down and storm out of the test, having only answered a few questions incorrectly: netting you 0-IQ

>>intrusive thoughts (inferiority, discomfort, anger)
best case: no effect
worst case: mid-test you attempt suicide and are escorted out before you answer a single question correctly (you gave only a few incorrect answers) netting you 0-IQ

>>poor eating habits (junk food or eating little)
best case: no effect
worst case: you collapse from malnutrition after answering the first question incorrectly, netting you 0-IQ
