Wouldn’t recommend most people to go down that rabbit hole anyway. IQ is a variable, that carries real practical value, but hence also perceived value as a human being- pretty similar to looks.yea i know, ofc in real world cases the practice effect definitely plays a role but for purely testing its better to avoid
something that ive actually noticed is that although my result on the screen has markedly decreased ive gotten smarter irl, where concepts i couldnt wrap my head around when i was younger are turbo trivial and easy now
they arent that complex in the grand scheme of things tho im not some god in reality i imagine im just slightly above average
It can really lead to a massive identity crisis for some.
Btw, for untimed tests, the practice effect becomes much less relevant, unless you take the exact same test.
Even then, it’s less critical.
For example, if you take the JCTI and retake it a few days later, giving it your full effort and also taking your time, your scores shouldn’t really vary much, if at all.
Also, that last sentence isn’t unusual for High IQ individuals.
