IQ before and after brain training

[Bo T]

Hi guys, Hope everyone here is doing well.

For anyone who wants to try a particular brain training regimen for a period of time, here are two accurate and relatively short fluid intelligence tests that you can take to first establish your baseline IQ and then measure gains (if any) resulting from the training. 

It is essentially your IQ before and after brain training. This would give a clear answer on whether or not your brain training regimen worked.

For both tests, have a paper and pencil, and a timer. number the paper for however many questions there are in the test you want to take.
for example, TIG-1 has 35 questions, number the paper 1 to 35 so you don't waste time during the test writing down each question number.

also, record each answer in the format x-y, where x is the top number of the domino, and y is the bottom number of the domino. The numbers on the domino range from 0 to 6. 

IMPORTANT!!!! DO NOT TAKE A TEST UNLESS YOU ARE IN OPTIMAL CONDITION (GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP, SOBER, UNDISTRACTED DURING THE TEST, ETC...). DOING OTHERWISE WILL INVALIDATE YOUR SCORE, AND YOU ONLY GET ONE ATTEMPT PER TEST. ONLY TAKE THE TEST WHENEVER YOU KNOW YOU HAVE FREE TIME TO DO SO. 

First test : (Use this test to establish your IQ before starting your brain training program)
 
TIG-1 (short version, measures up to 149 IQ)
time limit : 15 mins , 35 questions.

First page (Ejemplos) are examples so you understand how questions are structured.

Answer key and scoring table in the pdf file. Answer key is a bit weird in ordering but you will figure it out.
check how many right answers you got, and use the scoring table to see the corresponding IQ.

Second test : (Use this test after finishing the brain training program to check for gains (if any) )

TIG-2 (longer version, measures up to 160 IQ)
time limit : 30 minutes , 50 questions

also contains examples on first page.
The answer key is in a separate file for this one, check it and see how many right answers you got.
No immediate scoring table for this one, use the below formula.

Scoring formula : ((number of right answers you got - 23.49)/6.63)x15 + 100
This will give you your IQ.

credits to the cognitive testing subreddit, r/cognitivetesting , both tests are available there but I wanted to make it convenient for you guys.

Note: Feel free to post your training regimen, training period and IQ before/after results within this thread.

Thank you for posting. I am doing a one year experiment of 1 hour brain training (either n back or syllogimous). Already 23 days in. Scored 25 or 129.7 on the first one. However I already feel that I made some progress in the past month, and because the test is quite working memory heavy I felt like it was easier than a month ago (but could be placebo of course). After the experiment has ended I will take the second test.

So stupid! I l measured the adult norm, the result was 122.7 / 25 instead!

Which test are you talking about? Have you taken both tests?

Here are the norms for TIG-2. You have to choose the "estudiantes bachellierato" which means high school students, because they virtually represent the general population for IQ. If you choose other norms , you will get deflated results because university students and professionals are not representative of the general population.

Hi everyone! I overheard two coworkers arguing about who’s smarter and they mentioned they both took an online iq test. I got curious, took it during lunch, and I have to admit it got me thinking more than expected. The mix of logic and pattern recognition was well-balanced and didn’t feel generic. I especially liked how it provided instant feedback at the end. I’m not sure if it makes me a genius now, but it was a nice brain workout, better than just scrolling social media!
