Intelligence Increase

DQ made a post about Crowley believing every human is a genius waiting to be unlocked.
Well, i believed the same thing almost ten years ago (i was 14) and actually intelligence increase and my hunt for how to do it led me to all the esoteric/tripping/crazy knowledge I have now.
I found Crowley, Wilson, and Leary...took what they said to heart and did a lot of the rituals/meditations/thought experiments suggested (also the consciousness changing experiments viva psychedelics) and now, ten years later...i do feel quite a bit more intelligent...some would attribute this to growing older, wiser..more experienced.
Cant say I disagree.
But, I do know that when I took IQ tests around that age up until around age 20-21 when I began having really intense experiences, my scores stayed around 120-128... Well in the past two years my IQ score has been testing progressively higher, averaging between 132-139 with 139 being my latest IQ score as of just two weeks ago.
Was my journey successful?
almost a 20 point difference between my lowest score achieved at 14 and my highest score at 24.
The biggest difference I feel intellectually speaking is a greater appreciation/recognition of others intelligence...I'm also a lot less of a know-it-all than when I was a teenager.

Keep it up, with time you might be able to join MENSA and get a card to carry around that validates your genius.

Meh.
I'm no where near as passionate about the whole thing of intelligence increase as I used to be..
Was just reading through old posts and saw that post by DQ which gave me nostalgic memories of my journey..and realized that on some scales I had accomplished my initial goal.
Lets call OP a testament to the genius within.

Is it the same test every time, or do they mix it up?

Different tests found randomly online --- some easier than others.

I never liked tests all that much.

Then it is completely meaningless "data". To be valid the test needs to be administered personally by somebody trained in tests and measures. It needs to be developed by a team of experts that are aware of the culture and population they are seeking to test.
I took a legit IQ test once. It costs hundreds of dollars for the insurance company and took hours to administer. The scoring took the administrator a week to get back to me with.
