      Top nootropics adjusting for various rating biases (didn't have much effect). Data from 2016 SSC survey. Straight amphetamine still wins. http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/03/01/2016-nootropics-survey-results/#comment-332526 … ht @gwernpic.twitter.com/8T9ni8aZt5

      Biased data and faulty interpretation. The sample are high IQ people who need adderall to be productive for longer or phenibut to be less socially awkward. Nootropics should boost IQ. Both LSD and adderall enhance some functions and weaken others. Not general IQ boosts.

      Nothing "boosts IQ". It is heritable but stable, other than declining with age or other things. @jrwill9, get over here now please, as this is your field. I am just a retail banker.

      I don’t know anything about nootropics, but there are drugs that can temporarily improve cognitive function, the most notable being nicotine. I don’t know of any evidence for permanent IQ gains from drugs.

      Right, this is why I'm suspicious of IQ as a measurement. There are intelligence differences between people, but I is not a good way to measure it. If you're severely sleep derived, you'd probably score 30+ points lower than your peak.

      Let's say for work, I can maintain peak concentration and IQ of 150 for 4 hours, then I burn out and my IQ slowly declines until it's 100 if I don't take a nap. Then with a few drinks, my IQ becomes 80. Nobody talks about this.

      Test taking motivation and contextual factors has been a topic of study for decades. Your problem is that you don't read the serious literature on the topic. There is a solution for that: stop posting on Twitter and take a few months off to read a few textbooks.

          I study what predicts real world success, and IQ is not it. All the communist professors score high on IQ tests, but can't run a business to save their lives. Only resentful losers ever brag about their IQ scores; same type of people who blame their failures on capitalism.

          I also think IQ is a bad measurement b/c it's comparative to a poorly defined baseline rather than a raw score of computational capabilities. Also, the tails aren't symmetrical. A proper intelligence metric should be able to be determined through a brain scan, not silly questions

          So you will keep being a know-it-all on Twitter and refuse to do your homework. Muted.

          “Smart and wise people who score low on IQ tests, or patently intellectually defective ones, like former U.S. president George W. Bush, who score high on them (130), are testing the test and not the reverse.” - @nntaleb
