Train general intelligence, then prove carryover.
Method updates, protocol notes, and practical thinking guides. Start with does brain training work?, dual n-back training strategies, how to approach Raven's Progressive Matrices, and the IQ score interpretation guide.
N-back training can improve trained and closely related working-memory skills, but broad IQ-transfer claims remain contested. This article reviews recent n-back studies, sleep-consolidation evidence and the IQ Mindware Trident G approach to transfer-oriented training.
The Next-Test Planner is being revised and is not currently linked from the public site.
A careful evidence guide on task improvement, near transfer, far transfer, working memory, relational reasoning, strategy prompts, and delayed checks.
Why learning plateaus happen, how to overcome a learning plateau, and how the fluency trap creates an illusion of competence during skill acquisition.
Why fluid and crystallized intelligence helps explain repeated problem solving, weak compounding, and the need to turn insight into reusable skill.
Why AI pressure in knowledge work is not just about replacement, but about workload intensification, cognitive offloading, and the need to protect judgement.
A five-step human-led protocol for using AI without surrendering judgement: Own, Refine, Stress-Test, Audit, and Re-write.
A practical 5-step protocol to use AI without cognitive drift: own the question, refine, stress-test, audit, and rewrite with judgement.
How the college degree divide, elite universities, assortative matching, and AI are re-sorting the modern knowledge economy.
A practical guide to Raven-style matrix reasoning tasks and a clean strategy loop for test-day execution.
Session structure, progression rules, and carryover checks that matter more than chasing high N on a single day.
How 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean are used for benchmark setting, rarity framing, and cautious interpretation.
A practical review of emotional-load training design, resilience aims, and conservative interpretation rules.
A neutral methods-first analysis of public IQ commentary and how to convert broad narratives into practical decisions.
