Does IQ Fluctuate Over Time?

I still play a good game of chess.

If I can remember where I put the board last week.

Does IQ Fluctuate Over Time?

Yes, I've seen it... Right here on USMB.

I've seen people post intelligently in the morning, only to come off as complete morons later the same day...

that is called living better thru modern chemistry.

I'm still laughing at the idea of a Madeline app.

For 99 cents, you too can be lectured for 45 minutes at a time, he he he.

I swear I used to be smarter than I am now. Is it possible that a person's IQ could change with time, absent any disease? What would make that happen, if true?

Could it be I'm just as smart as ever, but I feel less sharp because my brain is overloaded or something? I just don't seem able to focus like I once could.

It fluctuates.

Do you have Chessmaster 2000? If not I highly recommend it to you.

I've played the Chessmaster engine. I would rather lose to a human than a soulless automaton.

There's something about a head to head game that no computer can mimic.

You can play Chessmaster 2000 on line. And there are some very sharp players out there -- in many different countries, too.

No doubt about it, I'm less intelligent than I used to be.

I don't exercise my mind like I used to, so its getting flabby.

I blame USMB.

No, just generic cussing.

But that's not a bad idea!

Hahahahaha.

In middle age we begin to lose myelin, the fatty sheath of "insulation" that coats our nerve axons and allows for fast signaling bursts in our brains. So if you want to be the best at anything requiring speedy brain reaction times, you'd better get it in by age 39.

I really do enjoy the head to head game.

There's not a lot of talking, but there's another part of the game that's there. Grunting, twinging, sighing, rubbing eyes, etc. that you get to learn from opponents that you play with.

That's what I truly like. The game is not secondary of course, but the human interaction.

I'm on computers too much already. And believe me, I'm let to know.

No, Cheryl's not my wife. But the look, I've seen before...





Cheryl's Clickable...
