I should have put this in yesterday's introductory entry, but I didn't think of it at the time.
Before I started this journey I would generally see between 120-130 on most free online IQ tests. With even the brief conditioning I've already done, most of those same tests today show a 100-119 range. It's not too much of a distinction, but considering some of these tests will have been the same, the drop might not be a coincidence. I'll be taking free IQ tests at various points throughout my entries, so we can see any changes together.
I've downloaded a packet of timed math sheets for tracking any diminishing of math skills. Each page has 100 problems of various types, and I'll be giving myself five munutes to see how many problems I can complete correctly on a page. My first result today was 61 / 100.
Today I am officially restarting Vive's Dumbing Down series at file 1. I'll be following his instructions to orgasm 5-10 times with each file before moving on. I've previously been as far as file 4 loosely following the suggestions, and as a result it's actually already been quite challenging to write these entries. I have really struggled to use correct grammar and spelling for these first entries.
I've turned off autocorrect on my devices and starting in the next entry I will no longer be fixing any typos so we can see how my typing changes over time.
