>In 2014, a meta-analysis of twenty studies showed that n-back training has small but significant effect on fluid intelligence and improve it on average for an equivalent of 3–4 points of IQ.[
So /sci/ are you training with dual-n-back for these sweet IQ points?

You should just do math and science instead of being a desperate coping faggot.

How do I give my IQ point to other people? I feel like I have too many

I got hit in the head in a fight multiple times and now feel like I'd lost some iq (no headache, loss of consciousness, amnesia, confusion, motor problems, nothing). Is losing iq from that even realistic? I have slight ptsd from the fight and have had pure-O OCD centered around head injuries for years, I keep being nauseous in the morning every day since then and i feel somewhat retarded/slow now, but that could be just the PTSD and crippling anxiety? Everyone tells me it's just anxiety but I feel different anons, maybe they're right though...

Will doing n-backs during the recovery period help my brain heal up better if it actually did get damaged?

I suggest you do n-back (not dual), for 20min per day + 20min of meditation which could also help as it is said to alter the brain (not an expert)

Okay will do.
And do you think it's feasible for my brain to have gotten damaged like that despite me not losing consciousness or having any of the common symptoms (except just anxiety and nausea later, which could have been entirely psychosomatic and caused by me worrying and thinking something's wrong plus the PTSD)?

I'm not knowledgeable but this is on google
>Child boxers with more than five years' experience had average IQ of 88, 10 points lower than standard IQ levels.
So yes I believe your IQ is reduced even without loss of consciousness. You might have seen it if you play video games with your scores. Do exercises for 20+ days, and then check with a professional

I played videogames just fine. Did some human benchmark tests and most came out just as good if not better than usually. Progressive matrices IQ test came out 7 points lower than my certified one (sd15) but I on the phone with somebody while taking it and pretty tired and anxious and dissociating as fuck. Also I'd wager you can't compare 5 years of consecutive hits to the head to one incident (if we were to weigh the potential iq loss by amount of hits/fights, then I'd expect it to be negligible unless boxers just don't get hit or something) but I get your point.
I'll still do the exercises though, thanks for the answers by the way anon.
