FAQs
What do I do in the training?
For the guaranteed IQ and memory gains, the training period is 20 days, 15-25 minutes each day.
HighIQPro combines a highly effective working memory training task – the n-back – with scientifically designed puzzles for IQ. For those of you who are familiar with the dual n-back (the only scientifically proven method for increasing IQ) HighIQPro incorporates this exercise. But it has features that improve the weaknesses of the Jaeggi original, including error feedback, different speed settings and a different up-lown level algorithm, ensuring maximum neuroplasticity training effects. It is a game that continually adapts to your level of practice, and you get continually updated graphical feedback on your performance which helps with motivation.

Is the IQ gain permanent?
Yes, the science shows that the training results in permanent neuroplasticity changes (journal article link), and long-term IQ gains (WSJ link). Here is one customer’s experience:
The best part about the training is that it’s permanent. After the 20 sessions you see above I did no training for a full 8 months to see if I’d forget the skill and have to start over. The results were an astounding OPPOSITE of what I expected, as if my brain had further optimized itself during the 8 months off.
Can I continue training past the 20 days?
Yes – training with our software can be unlimited. Scientists have looked at the effects of 20 days of training, but not beyond this, and greater gains are entirely possible. There are additional settings – different speeds, and numbers instead of letters, to keep the training interesting and motivating.
What makes this application better than others on the market?
This is the only brain training application developed by a cognitive neuroscientist led team and that replicates the only scientifically proven method for increasing IQ – the Jaeggi dual n-back. Its selective IQ brainteasers, multiple languages, multi-speed settings, letters vs numbers mode and error feedback are unique, and significantly optimize training – substantially improving on the original Jaeggi method, both for training effectiveness and motivation.
We have sold over a thousand copies of our software, and had less than 0.5% (half of one percent!) refunds. It works!
Can I increase my IQ in less than 20 days?
You can gain in your IQ from around 12 days of training up to 20 days. Some individuals have a faster learning curve, and have experienced dramatic IQ gains in as few as 5 training sessions.
Prior to starting training I scored 135 on the IQ test. Within 5 sessions of dual n-back training on High IQ Pro my average had increased to 5.0. I decided that- given that I had reached a level that people tend to reach after the 19 sessions- I would have a go at the JCTI test. I scored 146 on the JCTI, which I’m quite happy with.

Can I take breaks in my 20 day training program?
You can take 2 days break for every week’s training, but we do not suggest having larger breaks to get the full training benefits. It doesn’t matter how these two days are spaced out.
Does the IQ gain depend on my starting IQ level?
Regardless of your starting IQ level (low, average or high), you will benefit from training. As reported in the original research paper demonstrating the IQ gains: “Gain in fluid intelligence is strictly training related.” Based on our user feedback, we predict the following IQ gains as a result of 20 days of HighIQPro training.
If English is not my native language, can I use this software?
The training exercise has a visual and an audio component. Language is not needed for the visual component. For the audio, there are English, Italian, German and Spanish language options. There is no language comprehension required. However, the instructions are in English!.
