+/- 7 on a scale from 50 to 150+ using different tests at different periods is very stable. It’s kind of shocking how little stuff like lack of caffeine alters the results while people really do score widely differently.

Not that I think the score actually means much, but consistency isn’t the problem.

It would perhaps be a more meaningful test of intelligence if a person took it 100 times over a few years. This, however, is not very realistic.

With 100 tests, the results would likely be skewed by the training …
