Time for some concrete developments.
I took the same IQ test just now that I took on day zero while downloading MLS before starting. It's in English, which is not my mother tongue, so the results are biased with regard to word comprehension and stuff like that. Because of this and because I don't feel like sharing the actual numbers, I only post the differences.
The test I took is from http://www.seemypersonality.com/IQ-Test.
Unfortunately, I did not see the extended results for left and right brain when I took the test for the first time, so I don't have comparing values for day zero.
I'll take the test again when I come close to the three months mark. Maybe I'll take it regularly every 50 or so days as long as I am on MLS, don't know yet. But then I'll have to take into account that I get somewhat used to taking the test and the element of surprise will be gone. Maybe I will post concrete numbers some time in the future, everything is possible.
My mental state right now was somewhat similar to day zero, mentally fatigued and somewhat out of it. Definitely far away from a peak state. Which is exactly why I took it. Additionally, it was to have a real measure to how things are, because I am having strong thought waves again that tell me that MLS is doing nothing and not working and a waste of time and that I'd be better of running another sub (interestingly still either E2, AM, or BASE).
So without further ado, the results.
Overall IQ change from day zero to day 51: +25
Overall left brain change day zero to day 51: -3
Overall right brain change day zero to day 51: +14
Difference between left and right brain day zero: 20
Difference between left and right brain day 51: 3
What can I say? I'll stay with MLS!

I realize that MLS is a PROCESS and not a night and day swtich, although since starting MLS I have had some night and day things happen. I'm in MLS for the long haul and I'm willing to embrace the imperfection of the current moment for the sake of the advancement of the overall process. THIS IS HUGE FOR ME!!!!! Historically, I would scrap the process if any imperfections would show up or I made a mistake...

Quote:Just checking in with more MLS results
I just took an official Mensa IQ test and scored 27/33 (after having 4 whiskeys as well) placing me in a "good chances of passing the real mensa exam"
Had a wedding yesterday where I met several high school friends from several years ago. My mind was impeccable with details of our shared past while theirs was hazy and they'd forgotten a lot of details.
My intellectual ability has dramatically risen
I have a natural interest in learning and reading new things which interest me. This far exceeds what it was previously. At this rate I'll be a renaissance man in no time
My mind is super balanced right now.
I'm pretty confident MLS has driven me to make all the changes to my lifestyle that I have.
This sub is truly amazing.

Quote:Day 126
We're hitting mid of December and I'm loving MLS. I went on MLS to maximize my learning to rake in the cash in the holiday reason, and raking it in I am. I made half a mil of sales in the last 30 days. Now I am writing this not for the sake of bragging. When somebody gets laid from DMSI it's a win not just for the dude but for all of us as well. I hope to share this with you guys in this forum so we can count this as a win for MLS, for IML, for this forum and you guys in it who have helped me tremendously...

Quote:Results:
-the concept of memory palace suddenly popped into my mind again and I have used this to learn faster. This helps me especially well because I often think visually and if I can link spatial objects that have a visual representation to knowledge it becomes easier to remember.
-adjusted my sleeping schedule unplanned, just got up earlier and sleeping on time was easy
-clearness of mind, reality seems to be more vibrant and I feel more in-the-moment. Comparable to the feeling right after a cold shower
-ability to focus increased

-Clearness of mind has stayed constant and feels very liberating. It is like the brainfog is just gone and life is good, as if someone finally cleaned the windows and checks them for specks regularly.
-Interest and enthusiasm for difficult mathematical topics and concepts has increased steadily. Felt immense joy from a video about Brownian Motion today and laughed about the way my prof solved an equation.
-Learning rate has been improving, but not focussed on my studies. It is more like an overall learning. I am learning about myself, my family, life and then also my studies.
-This accelerated learning of "life lessons" also started a process of forgiving others and granting myself forgiveness. I feel like there is still some stuff (probably fear) that is blocking me from realising the goals of MLS and so it nudges me to deal with it.

Quote:Memory/Recall
For the past few weeks my memory and recall have been vastly improved. One of the issues I've suffered for a long time is having spotty short term memory. This hasn't always been the case but I do strongly believe that fears and other things (such as ADHD) are responsible for this but I digress. When reading over materials such as case studies I can often visually see the document and words on said document in crisp detail mentally. Essentially, photographic memory. This also includes events such as conversations where I can sometimes recall someone's words verbatim or with a high degree of accuracy. As you'd imagine this is insanely useful, the details of which are in the section "MLS Performance on Work/School/Life"
FRM/DRS Effects
Thanks to the FRM my attitude towards school, learning, and life in general have improved. Prior to restarting MLS I was experiencing a large amount doubts about my ability to perform academically, professionally, and just as a person in general. I want to say these feelings were accelerated by being in graduate school and also by realizing that I had ADHD. With FRM I've noticed a much more calm demeanor in myself and thanks to the DRS I'm able to remain unaffected by the negative energies around me. A great example is earlier in this week when my classmates and I had a 4-part practical examination that was pass/fail only. Failure meant having to retake the examination. Most of them were extremely nervous and many of them voiced that however I was extremely calm during the entire process. In the end all of us were going to have to retake the exam but during the actual exam I can honestly say that not once was I ever "shook" or in my head. (for background info, most of our professors were there grading us, so this was some high-stakes sh*t)
MLS Performance on Work/Life/School
Having the ability to think clearly, quickly, and succinctly makes everything better. EVERYTHING. At work I can stick to a task for a long period of time without trailing off into unproductive chatter. At school I can understand materials and concepts in real time and apply them quickly. Studying used to be a chore because I would sometimes zone out within minutes due to boredom with some subjects. Now even on a day like today where I technically don't have much to study I still find myself looking over notes and reading. Explaining my ideas and thoughts to people has also improved substantially and often times I can not only quickly process a difficult concept but I can also explain it to someone in a way that they understand it (and me) better. In addition, I can more effectively execute multiple plans during the day. An example would be this morning where I'm juggling between typing this report, typing up a case study, and sending messages for work and school. If I could put a number on it I would say MLS has increased my level of productivity by at least 100%.
MLS influence on ADHD
So as I've mentioned before in another thread ADHD's effects on the mind are quite complex. Three biggest contributions that MLS grants me that has positively influenced my ADHD are 1) Drastically improved short and long term memory 2) Increased cognitive processing speed 3) Less fear/sensitivity to others negativity and bullsh*t. For those of you who've never had ADHD...count yourself lucky. Often times the societal portrayal of the condition is more comically and while some of the stereotypes are 100% true what they don't capture is the sometimes debilitating effect that ADHD has on the user's self-esteem due to the years and years of failures, lost opportunities, and underperformance that plague us. Since restarting this program and executing most of the hallmark issues of ADHD such as poor executive function (ability to plan and act), self-esteem issues etc. are drastically reduced to the point to where many days such as today I simply feel...normal. Not ADHD normal but normal in a sense of being able to think clearly, remember instructions, operate like a grown adult, plan, decide and execute. My mind isn't full of the almost nonstop chatter that typically takes place however the chatter that does happen is more positive as a whole (though negative ones do pop up) and typically are more productive and centered on solving relevant issues and problems. Granted, I still get the occasional scatter brain moments specifically when I'm lacking in sleep but they are fleeting moments rather than entire days of unproductivity.
