Spatial IQ tests and practice affect/effort

My most recent score on this spatial test is "average." However, I have tested much higher on verbal and memory abilities (mainly verbal) on official tests. Anyway, this actually surprised me because when I took this awhile back I scored "well below average." The difference this time, I had a caffeine source nearby, and I actually concentrated and consciously attempted to manipulate the objects in my mind, but I also lost patience towards the end. I'm certain the exposure affect came into play maybe a little on the score, but I think mainly the familiarity decreased my anxiety to the point where I could perform adequately.

This also makes me postulate that if someone spends oodles of time messing with spatial tests on the internet, that it would decrease the validity of a particular test's score (such as WAIS/Stanford-Binet). I suppose that could apply to verbal tests as well.

Problems in these test are very similar from test to test so it would seem you could train yourself to be better at them. I wouldn't put much weight on the results, all i can conclude from this test is how good i'm solving it

I like doing these sometimes as a sort of game almost. This was fast and interesting.
score:"Way to go! Your score on the test was well above average, meaning you have a very strong grasp of spatial orientation."
Yea sure, actually i'm bit clumsy when it comes to spatial orientation of myself Could be that i'm too much in my head and thus miss the details around me.

Like I said, it was actually an improvement over my previous score. Although I want to improve my spatial abilities by honing my attentional ones (at least average or slightly above), I'm more interested in enhancing my supposedly exceptional verbal abilities and memory abilities which aren't too shabby but seem negatively impacted by my ADHD and at times sleep deprivation (on IQ testing).

EDIT: Took it again, and

Way to go! Your score on the test was well above average, meaning you have a very strong grasp of spatial orientation.

Not saying it's accurate but interesting.
