This is mainly for self accountability to maintain consistency I suppose.
And to honestly say how well DNB really works !

I did the Mensa Norway IQ test about a year ago, conditions were not the most optimal. I did it late at night. 
Score : 135
Its the only IQ test I've taken and I have not repeated. 

I have a theory that I could potentially see better results than some of the people that have said to increase their IQ by 15-20 points over 2 years or so, reason being they were about 25+, I'm 18. Rate of myelination in the pre frontal cortex and neuroplasticity decreases with age.

Alias account, ( Frank Kosmos is the alias The Beyonder undertakes in Marvel Comics) 
so full transparency!

I'm going to aim for an hour a day. With 15 or 20 minute sessions.
I downloaded it today and tested it out for about 15 minutes. 

I've heard people have started with DNB-5 with an IQ around 120. 
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong because I've started with DNB-3!!!???
I have excellent long term memory but ok short term memory. I don't really pay that much attention to the things going on around me, I'm autistic so my attention is kind of funny.

I've been trying not to rely on by subconscious while doing the DNB training. This could potentially could be the reason. Day to day I mainly reside within my mind, relying on my subconscious greatly. 

But I will see how it pans out.

Don't worry abt your start point on day 1. Your endpoint by 3-4 weeks should determine how much you will want to gain in quad N level to see truly notable gains in IQ scores and other WM based cognitive tests. If by end of 1 month, you're at roughly D6B, I'd say do your best to increase that to D 10-12 B while gradually incorporating more quad until you're at quad 9-10. This will take a very long time, but anecdotally it's the only protocol so far that has solid evidence and has not yet been concretely disproven through ppl's experience. Your progress on the training task is crucial, not as much solely the time you spend on it.

@Frank Kosmos  I am also serious about IQ improvement and dual-n-back training. Have been doing it for 10 years so far but not serious enough. So far have gained 15 IQ points. Add me perhaps on Discord: Ayanokog if you want to be accountability partners.

I am also 18 and this year I will try DNB a lot as this is the first year that I am completely free meaning I don't have school to go to(I am however doing an IBM Data Science & analytics course) and currently do not have a job(I'll probably get one  though). I took the Mensa test a little less than a year ago and scored 128 when I was 17 but I did not get good sleep the night before. I will see if DNB will accelerate my programming skills. Because I am free, I will also try other things besides DnB. I also have ASD and ADHD. I will get back to everyone a year later.
