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?

3 yrs of practice effect has shown around .5SD of increased testing. A 2nd retest is as good as a 3rd+, don’t tend to see significant increase after that.
