I guess I would say that I think IQ tests aren't worth much at all, in other words they don't tell you as much people think, ie not an objective measure of "intelligence"

Like others I can't say anything on IQ itself, but i do notice my mind is sharper and memory is better...overal plain IQ is not of such great importance to me
i've even read that people with very high IQ are usually anxious, irritable and such, and most of them is not really sucessfull above average in their societies...so who needs higher IQ

That is a gross misconception. Most people with high IQs are well adjusted and have fuller and healthier lives, especially compared to the average folk.

Yes in my experience certain ones can cause quite a difference.

Why are you asking a question and not accepting the answer, silly?

The question was posted to see how people here view Nootropics and to measure their level of understanding of neurological constructs. I.Q. is genetic.
Here is a nice link.

I like to think of IQ as "mental ingenuity". There is evidence that "IQ" is determined not just by genetic factors Justin, but also by environmental factors that an individual is exposed to early in their childhood development. However, I would agree that by the time one reaches adulthood his or her IQ has largely been established.
How many very smart people have you met who were frequently broke or just of modest means?
IQ tests give important information but their correlation with success or creativity is not super high.
Arrogance really doesn't suit you my friend.
One can, through exercise of mind and body, improved diet, drugs, etc., improve upon the operation of their brain. This is my opinion, and while I do not have the time to dig up research to support it, I have seen ample evidence in my few years of studying health, nutrition, and cognition, that supports it.

So is that what it's all about?? That seems less important than compassion, humility, insight and other human abilities anyway.IQ tests are not meant to measure success or "creativity." They only measure potential for abstract thought.

Spirtual growth and understanding of life is not bound by my IQ score so I'm not concerned.
I believe that life is as you believe, and the more you believe the more you may become...
Namaste'

You say you're "lacking expertise on this subject"...so become an expert before trying to crash down with your alleged facts..

By saying that IQ is dependent on Genes, you are saying that it is the design of our brains which determines its functioning which determines IQ. Well, nootropics can change its functioning and so too, improve IQ.
