When I first started using OTPs from Google Authenticator I found it difficult to remember random 6 digit numbers in one glance. Today after doing it almost daily for years and years I find it easy. Almost anything can be improved with training, including IQ test tasks, contrary to what test makers say. But I don't believe that such training improves general intelligence.
- throwawayk7h 2y agoI read that studying for an IQ test generally causes a gain of about 6 points at most. (Which is quite a bit.)
