Why does it seem like we can improve our bench press, minutes-per-mile, or alcohol tolerance much more than we can increase our IQ? Can a person with a 100 IQ get a 120 score after training? 130? Seems quite believable to me.

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a perfectly conceived IQ test/altitude test. You could definitely study for one and improve your score just like you can with the SAT

lol “altitude test” oh well. IQ tests are supposed to be relative—100 is the mean, median, and mode. You don’t absolutely become smarter, just relatively. Which points to its subjectivity.

P.S. fun fact about alcohol tolerance—if you drink enough to develop alcoholism (physical reliance on alcohol), after you get sober if you never drink again your tolerance will continue to increase indefinitely until you die as if you continued drinking the whole time.

Pretty sure I am remembering that right from a course on drugs I took in college. Also explains my late grandma’s epic tolerance toward the end of her life—sent a few unwitting suitors suitors in the old folks home to the hospital...

I didn’t see it as much in my father. With age he couldn’t hold his liquor and at one time he could quite well.
