Session number: 19
Average n-back: 4.30
Duration (min.): 35+
Well, my first training block is done. The highlight of this session was the one round @ n=5 where I managed but 3 misses, sadly I did not managed to get under 7 misses on n=5 the rest of the session. Reading this it may sound like I am still focussed on the numbers, it is only after the session that I review my scores; during this session I checked my score only once, about halfway through.
My focus was improved this session, though sometimes I was nearly falling asleep due to the “mind stillness” I experienced.
I retook the iqtestlab test and scored 147, the cieling for that test, a 9 point improved. I don’t think it is a very good baseline test as it is very short, but it is nice to see a high number like 147 associated with my IQ.
The test at smartestofus should serve its purpose as a meter of progress far better as the questions do not repeat. The problem with the smartestofus test is that the numbers are skewed was up, my IQ is certainly not the 158.50 IQ reported by that site, regardless it should serve well to measure my progress.
P.S. I restarted my BFP session after my week long break because I thought it would be futile to continue after such a long break, so I do not have a BFP made chart with my entire progress on it. If there does end up being on in this post I made it.
Hmm, after looking at that graph my gains seem a little bit more linear than I had thought they were towards the end. My vigour for training is reignited.

Hi, Joe.
I’m curious to know whether you took the test you planned to take, and whether you’re still training… Keep us posted.
