It helps with short term (working) memory, which has been shown to significantly improve skill acquisition, as well as problem solving abilities.

Pour into 5oz jug, pour 5oz jug into 3oz jug, leaving 2oz in 5oz jug, now pour 3oz jug into 8oz jug, filling this to 6oz, pour the 2oz from 5oz to 3oz jug, pour 5oz into 5oz jug, leaving 1oz in this,
pour off 1oz from the 5oz jug to fill up 3oz jug, this is then added to the 1oz in the 8oz jug, almost instantaneous, the key is to isolate 1oz

Thanks for the post!
Along with my I3-Mindware initial training I’ve started a MM practice to support it.

During my meditation I tried this soundtrack and it helped me a lot (you referred to a similar soundtrack in the forum):

Hi Mony, Well, this kind of training essentially gives you practice on the ‘mechanics’ of doing calculations, which transfers to these other tasks. That’s useful of course, and to an extent will contribute to higher Gq I expect, yes. This should help with your Mensa test, if you are going for that. The trouble with a lot of the Lumosity exercises (from what I know), is that they don’t transfer too much beyond the very specific tasks that they exercise. Essentially they result in ‘exercise’ effects for specific cognitive skills, not general IQ increases. Quantitative IQ depends on a number of other IQ factors including working memory, and the Lumosity training won’t help with this directly, but by making certain arithmetical skills easier, it can help ‘free up’ more working memory space for thinking the problem through.

Hi MAS,
I’ve just started my training with I3-Mindware and so far I love it.

I used to train 15 minutes a day with the premium version of Lumosity. The only improvement that I noticed was a stronger mental calculation capability in real life (I played Raindrops and Chalkboard Challenge a lot). For example, when I was shopping, it took me much less time to perform accurate mental calculations than before my training with Lumosity.

On the basis of this experiment, do you think that this peculiar kind of Lumosity exercises is able to increase Gq?
