One study claimed that studying for the lsat increased reasoning ability, the interesting thing was that the left brain didn't seem to strengthen, but that the right side adapted.

I read somewhere that those with low IQs were 3.5 times more likely to commit suicide.

Mildly retarded to genius, I suppose.

I'm just sitting here wondering when nootropics that have profound effects on the brain will be introduced to the market. What do you think, 15 or 20 years?

More consideration is given to them than to the gifted, even though very impairing disabilities can be displayed in the latter as well.

If I remember right, got in the range of 111 or so. Spatial tests aren't my strong suit, but I can get above average scores on them a decent amount of the time. I spend time gaming to hopefully increase spatial aptitude, but I'll never be superb at that particular task. My verbal ability is...

I've heard a theory about evolutionary repercussions in welfare states, the spreading of undesirable traits that otherwise wouldn't be as prosperous. But, I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to the nuances of evolutionary effects. Anyway, Sweden was having some recent problems with some...

Sleep better at nights. I think.

They are interlinked, but can function separately in their own ways. The separate functioning reveals something.

I remember I made a random comment that ego protects people from the truth. Someone responded by saying that it was stunningly accurate, even if that were true I saw it as entirely blatant. That's the point, I suppose, that ego can protect against the obvious. I also recall from my psychology...

Well, at least I know now I can make my thread titles more vulgar.

I just left a forum where I "contributed" several thousand posts to, out of boredom, I suppose, or maybe I didn't see any opportunities for proper discussion. Most likely, both were persuaders to my leaving the forum. Of course, I had to fill the gap with other forums, such as this one. So...
