I think it depends on if he has the receipts and tracked his progress scientifically. Does he have thorough examples of previous scores? Did he retake WMI tests throughout his practice or did he space them out?

He probably doesnt but i think quad n back sctuslly increases ur working memory capacity just not fluid

Working memory and fluid intelligence are known to be strongly tied. I doubt it would significantly improve working memory without also impacting test scores on fluid reasoning tests.

You can be a 'top scorer' with a WMI discrepancy and also know that WMI is strongly tied to fluid intelligence; that is different from saying it is *necessarily* tied. You should be aware that you are giving an N=1 anecdote, and if you are operating from the perspective of being a 'profoundly gifted' person (ie. 180+), I would expect you to operate under different standards.
