I am an incoming college student (going to UCLA!) and instead of taking summer classes like everyone else in my year is doing, I will be trying to improve the crux of mental output itself: intelligence. Using my SAT as an indicator of my mental ability, my intelligence is probably average compared to my peers (I got a 2210 out of 2400).

I first found out about that improving intelligence was actually feasible through a dual-N-back article I read on NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.c...?pagewanted=all). Ever since, I have been using the N-back Brainworkshop program to practice the activity. I am currently on dual-6-back and tri-4-back. I reached these levels with intermitten, sporadic practices, so I will probably be able to reach higher levels if I force myself into a stringent schedule in the summer.

Does anybody have any other suggestions as what to add to my mental workout/improvement crusade? I'm a bit wary about supplements, but I wouldn't mind trying some if there is research to back it up. Would you suggest a seventeen year old to take supplements at all?

First, fix your nutrition (sth paleo like, but you don't have to be strict - and fat:carbohydrate ratio doesn't have to be in favour of fat - experiment). Meditation, enough sleep, stress managing and so on.
Use cron-o-meter for a month or so and see what you need to supplement (even after fixing nutrition). Most people need to supplement omega-3, zinc, vitamin D (you should measure your vitamin D status before supplementing), magnesium (you may need higher than RDA if you're under stress), maybe choline (if it doesn't make you depressed).
I wouldn't suggest you to try drugs, like adderall and other stimulants (or any drugs like marijuana, XTC and so on) because your brain isn't fully developed yet (it will be in 4-5 years) and they may have negative consequences. OTOH, I don't know how racetams would affect you long-term, so I'd suggest you to not use them for some years yet.
So, most important, healthy lifestyle.

I'd suggest regular exercise and meditation.

Also--

"We reviewed the recent empirical literature on the relations between the Big Five personality dimensions
and post-secondary academic achievement, and found some consistent results. A meta-analysis showed
Conscientiousness, in particular, to be most strongly and consistently associated with academic success.
In addition, Openness to Experience was sometimes positively associated with scholastic achievement,
whereas Extraversion was sometimes negatively related to the same criterion, although the empirical evidence regarding these latter two dimensions was somewhat mixed. Importantly, the literature indicates that
the narrow personality traits or facets presumed to underlie the broad Big Five personality factors are generally stronger predictors of academic performance than are the Big Five personality factors themselves.
Furthermore, personality predictors can account for variance in academic performance beyond that
accounted for by measures of cognitive ability. A template for future research on this topic is proposed,
which aims to improve the prediction of scholastic achievement by overcoming identifiable and easily correctable limitations of past studies."

Invent a device that will re-wire and refresh your nervous system and brain for higher intellectual faculty. Invent a fool-proof step-by-step process to avoid becoming the scorn and outcast of society, to prevent ending up the high school janitor solving puzzles in record time bitching about the state of it all. When you get the intellect don't waste it succumbing to or acting on the stupid musings of mere mortals about life, what "needs to be done," or what needs to change. Think for yourself, and watch for mistakes.

Lots of examples in this section of the forum, including (not exhaustive):
tDCS.
NGF, BDNF, etc. promoters.
TrkA,B,C agonists.
Neurogenesis, synaptogenesis promoters.
Micro-nutrition.


My favourites:
Uridine+dha+choline, B vitamins, etc
Methylene blue
Ginkgo
CoQ10
Brahmi/bacopa
Vinpocetine
Racetams
Noopept
...etc.

... Combined with brain training like dual-n-back.

I think noopept is a very worthwhile nootropic to look into. I really think that it can increase intelligence. Be careful of the vendor that you choose. From my experience, I don't suggest Cerebral Health.

I got a 2250 out of 2400 on the old GRE, before they removed the logic games section. Trust me: Dont waste your time on such rubbish. Read some Eliot or cummings.

With all of my being, I attempt to be in contact with and tap into ancient primordial mindsets and, because of that, NOONE of caucasian ancestry is happier than me at the 2011 newly proven reality that white people are the most primitive people on the planet due to up to 30-40% of our exclusively hominid DNA being Neanderthal.

We are White Neanderthal Apes and I love it!
Sucks for the white supremacist who must come to terms with the fact that, no matter how much he protests or rages, he is MUCH more primitive than any other homo sapien population. Reason for white domination the past several centuries? Desire to conquer others. Violent sub-race. Stuff like that. Certainly not intelligence and imagination. For me, this discovery is a moment of primitive rejoicing. Was getting tired of hearing bullshit from caucasians on this forum and YouTube threads and elsewhere about the relative primitivism of other peoples compared to whites. I always knew we were the most primitive, wild, violent and savage and to have it proven is kind of cool.

OK, as for IQ tests and SAT scores, try Gingko Biloba, Flaxseed oil and organic muffins. Cheers!

Nothing in that article suggests that having X chromosomes from Neadanderthals would make one more violent. Where did you get "30-40%" of our DNA is Neanderthal from (I don't see it)? What evidence is there to say in what way it has influenced us? These seem like false conclusions you've made (up).

3-4% of caucasian DNA is Neanderthal, which means that 30-40% of caucasian DNA that is exclusive to hominids is Neanderthal, since homo sapien DNA shares roughly 90% of its DNA with chimpanzees, leaving 10% exclusive:
3% of that 10% is 30% of the whole. Seems simple math, though I may be missing something.

You must be trolling. Caucasian refers to a physical type of human. 3-4% = Done, end of story. The rest of your post is illogical. Why would us sharing our DNA with chimpanzees affect anything? I believe everything on Earth shares similar DNA. Anyway, the easiest flaw to address is "3% of that 10% is 30% of the whole." 3% of 10% is .3% of the whole.

Wow. I have been on this forum so long, am catching posts as they come up: it's a hot off the presses mindset.
Not remotely trolling. It's simple math. No reaches, no stretches...

All hominids share 90% of their DNA with chimps and pretty much with all life on earth. That leaves only 10% left over that is exclusive to hominids.
Europeans share 3-4% of their DNA with Neanderthals, it must be 3-4% of the 10% that is exclusive to hominids. Doesn't seem any way around that.
Otherwise, it would be part of the DNA that is common to Neanderthals, chimpanzees, homo sapiens and all life.
So, 3/10 is 30%.

Reputable sources claim that Caucasians share as much of 4% of their DNA with Neanderthals. Why are you trying to turn this piece of information into something that is isn't? You will never find a source to claim that 30-40% of human DNA is shared with Neanderthals. If you can, please do.

At most, 4% of human DNA is shared with Neanderthals. That is the fact. http://www.earthmaga...t-mean-be-human

And 3% of 10% does not ever equal 30% of the whole. Here is a link to help anyone understand percentages. http://www.earthmaga...t-mean-be-human

I think I get what you're saying now. Because 10% of human DNA is exclusive to humans (not true, but whatever), then that 10% represents the only DNA that can actually be called human. Am I right in interpreting what you mean? Well, that's untrue. All of our DNA is human DNA, even if it is shared with another organism.

If anyone else is reading this, please tell me that you concur with me.

Spot on. The common misinformation is that we share 98% of our DNA with chimps. Apparently, it is more like 90%...
That is, 90% of all human DNA is identical to chimpanzee DNA. Makes perfect sense since we are close relatives. It also means that if that 90% is common to chimps and humans, it is also common between humans. Whole to part reasoning, I think.
That only leaves the remaining 10% of our DNA to distinguish all humans from each other.
And, probably around 3-4% of European DNA is Neanderthal. That is pretty significant.
And, that is a best-possible interpretation for Europeans. It gets worse if the 3-4% in common with Neanderthal is not of the exclusively hominid 10%. Makes us even more primitive...which is great for those seeking to embrace that aspect, but awful for white racists.

Yes, whites were raping and pillaging while the other races were sitting idly by getting victimized by evil whitey. And our superior science and technology just fell from the sky. If you hate yourself so much (you are white, no?) why don't you just jump off a cliff?

As white as white gets skin wise. Dark hair and brown eyes, though. Who said anything about hating? I am unfailingly emotionally honest and was embracing the newly proven primitive aspect of European peoples. It is a shame that people are so not used to seeing emotional honesty on the internet that they think it false, strange, or deceptive. I type as fast as I think and to the best of my ability to self-perceive, it is all honest.

So I take it that means you have some kind of nordic ideal inferiority complex? Because I don't understand why it's all right to bash white people wholesale.

Whites are the most violent? How was Japan and the rest of East Asian founded? What is the history of the middle east that continues to this day? What have the Mongols and Turks done to conquered European peoples? How did Africans mutilate and genocide one another, something that continues to this day? Were the American natives holding hands and living in harmony when the Ango-Saxons first arrived? Were South Americans living peacefully and not sacrificing their own before the Spaniards got there?

No intelligence and imagination? What group of people has practically developed the modern world? What group is the most alturistic in welcoming immigrants and donating foreign aid? What language are we currently speaking and which race has the most prosperous nations? In fact, I challenge you to name a technological development that has not been the result of white ingeunity.

If whites are therefore "primtive" because a running hypothesis states that we have neaderthal DNA then let us be "primitive" one hundred fold!

I don't believe I have any nordic complex, cause before self-reflecting on any of this, I would gel and wet my hair to get it as dark as possible, and thought it looked awesome contrasting with a pale face. As far as I know, never had any secret desire to be more blond.
I dont deny it, just have not consciously felt it.
As for imagination:
Europeans are equal to, but certainly not better than, other peoples. Did I say Europeans were less imaginative? I believe I meant equal.
Almost the entire 20th century's culture was developed by African and African American peoples.
From Cubism, which was indirectly inspired by African artforms, through all music, film, fashion, ethos aesthetic and more, all African or African-American, with a growing contribution from Japanese and Asian cultures hitting international mass culture in the late 20th century.

Europeans definitely get the edge in technological development, particularly in the past 300 years, and that is impressive, but:
The development of technology that benefits mankind does not equal greater genius, just more practical benefit, therefore the light bulb is certainly a lesser development than Cubism and modern popular music (rock, jazz, blues, pop, rap). But, Quantum Theory? That's on equal footing with the great cultural advances of the 20th and early 21st century.
If greater benefit to mankind in the practical sense always equated with greater genius, then all mundane improvements, including the ballpoint pen, would be of greater brilliance than artistic movements, like Expressionism and Fauvism, which I think would be a terrible terrible day for mankind.

Very few scientific developments equal the completely impractical, no-immediate-benefit-at-all art, music and literature in imagination or creative genius. Maybe relativity is CLOSE in creative greatness to a lesser artistic movement like Dadaism. But, that's as far as Ill go. Again, practical benefit to mankind does not figure into this scaling.

Who knows what cultural dark age we would be in if only Europeans influenced the 20th century's cultural developments. I cant even think about it without getting sick. Though, again, Europeans definitely have made major contributions to science and engineering.

Socialize with people more intelligent than you are, then you will get continual upwards stimulation. See about being a part of student activities at CalTech then make friends there. also studies show that elderly people that socialize with young people have more nimble minds, also mice raised at enriched play environments grow more connected brains. Those studiespretty much support the idea that socializing with people more intelligent than you are could physiologically improve intelligence.

I got a 2250 out of 2400 on the old GRE, before they removed the logic games section. Trust me: Dont waste your time on such rubbish. Read some Eliot or cummings.

With all of my being, I attempt to be in contact with and tap into ancient primordial mindsets and, because of that, NOONE of caucasian ancestry is happier than me at the 2011 newly proven reality that white people are the most primitive people on the planet due to up to 30-40% of our exclusively hominid DNA being Neanderthal.

We are White Neanderthal Apes and I love it!
Sucks for the white supremacist who must come to terms with the fact that, no matter how much he protests or rages, he is MUCH more primitive than any other homo sapien population. Reason for white domination the past several centuries? Desire to conquer others. Violent sub-race. Stuff like that. Certainly not intelligence and imagination. For me, this discovery is a moment of primitive rejoicing. Was getting tired of hearing bullshit from caucasians on this forum and YouTube threads and elsewhere about the relative primitivism of other peoples compared to whites. I always knew we were the most primitive, wild, violent and savage and to have it proven is kind of cool.

http://news.discover...hal-110718.html

OK, as for IQ tests and SAT scores, try Gingko Biloba, Flaxseed oil and organic muffins. Cheers!

Nothing in that article suggests that having X chromosomes from Neadanderthals would make one more violent. Where did you get "30-40%" of our DNA is Neanderthal from (I don't see it)? What evidence is there to say in what way it has influenced us? These seem like false conclusions you've made (up).

3-4% of caucasian DNA is Neanderthal, which means that 30-40% of caucasian DNA that is exclusive to hominids is Neanderthal, since homo sapien DNA shares roughly 90% of its DNA with chimpanzees, leaving 10% exclusive:
3% of that 10% is 30% of the whole. Seems simple math, though I may be missing something.

Neanderthal DNA is found in people on all continents except Africa, as the article you linked to clearly states, therefore it is obviously not just Caucasians who share their DNA. It is also not 3-4%, Human DNA is 99.7% identical to Neanderthal DNA.

http://news.national...rbred-dna-gene/

"The genetic study team reached their conclusion after comparing the genomes of five living humans—from China, France, Papua New Guinea, southern Africa, and western Africa—against the available "rough draft" of the Neanderthal genome. (Get the basics on genetics.)
The results showed that Neanderthal DNA is 99.7 percent identical to modern human DNA, versus, for example, 98.8 percent for modern humans and chimps, according to the study."

You also seem to be assuming Neanderthals were violent or stupid, neither of which was the case. Neanderthals had flutes, they painted on caves. Many Neanderthal bodies have been found that were killed from Homosapien weapons. We have no reason to believe they were somehow greatly inferior to the anatomically modern humans living at the time (other than the fact that they died out, which seems to run contrary to your point)

Edit: Didn't realize I was bumping an old thread -- apologies.

I have noticed stupid people use their senses more than their brain. For example, when they watch a video and they will sometimes go "can you imagine the smell there" very quick instinctual reaction as opposed to using your brain slowly and seeing the whole situation.
So, my advice would be to not overly use your senses and don"t make a judgement based on your first reaction to something.

Improve blood flow so you have vascularity in forehead etc neck exercises. Wrists and ankles use them a lot I.E dancing to improve balance and workout the wrists to so your brain connection is stronger to those locations and thus everywhere.

Surround yourself with different people and eventually your brain chemistry changes  and what music , ,reading, videos etc you consume

quit religion. it has negative effects on the whole mind and brain. i think that's the sole reason for why western iq is not as high as the chinese. people like to claim scientific findings came in the past from the religious world but theres many things to take into consideration. it takes time for the religion to effect the brain from a non religious brain so in the beginning it may seem , even if it didnt its still possible to invent stuff, the question is would you have invented more if there was no religion? and also many scientists had to pretend to be religious otherwise they faced trouble.

Semax 1%, 1 drop per nostril per day. My short term memory went from poor to phenomenal, as did my verbal fluency

Since you can get 2210 points, it fully proves that your intelligence is not bad.
 
To improve further, perhaps you can engage in brain training exercises and activities that challenge different cognitive functions (such as memory, attention, and processing speed) to exercise your brain while practicing a good, healthy lifestyle. Research shows that, appropriately Nutrition, hydration, sleep, and stress reduction are critical for optimal brain function and cognitive ability.
 
Maybe you've heard of polypeptide nootropics, like Semax and Selank. They can improve your cognitive abilities by boosting concentration and memory. Hope it helps you:)
