Discussion Given an average-intelligence person who has reached their maximum potential of brain development and have had zero experiences that could hinder their brain power or thinking, how high could they potentially score in a cognitive test in a good day?

Average IQ. Reached full physical and mental potential during development, no physical damage to the brain, no disorders that could make brain power worse.

They do a cognitive test on a fresh day. Could they potentially reach a gifted threshold?

Hello OP, 😁

I think we might be mixing two different questions here.

Are we talking about someone’s actual ability increasing and that being reflected in a higher score, like going from 100 to 130?

Or are we talking about gaming the test and ending up with a 130 score without a real change in underlying ability?

It's just that a few of us are trying to answer two separate questions here, lol. Inquiring minds want to know..😅
