Lumosity
I pondered where put this....... but since it directly deals with mental fitness, I posted it here.
Has any one used this site? We all get old and forget things but when I do a round of training on this brain fitness site, it helps me concentrate, remember and have a better attitude towards work. Granted, it costs money, but if you are having issues remembering etc, try it out. If you do, post your BPI and any feedback on a game that helps you perform better. Go to www.lumosity.com to sign up. Hopefully. now I won't forget SOTD's screen name. BPI as of today is 1008. |
I've used it for several years. Couple sports psych's and performance enhancement coaches I know mentioned this. I downloaded several training 'games' to my Touch. I will occasionally pull it out after a meeting, pt and compare my focus or attention score post said event.
I enjoy it. I like to read books on the topic as well. |

FTG,
How long has you been using this and have you been signed up long enough to determine if you are getting any spam as a result? All in all, it looks like a good idea... Thanks, S |
I downloaded it after SLC but haven't gotten that much use out of it. I'm in a JOPP class right now, so my intelligence is likely down from it's already borderline mentally handicap classification.
|
I subscribe and actually enjoy it.
I log in prior to getting down to work in the morning. For me, it's been a great way to get the gray matter functioning a bit better before digging into 1's and 0's. |
Concur with chokeu2. I use it for mental gymnastics at the start of my day. I use the free version.
Comparing BPI has become very popular with the Lumosity acolytes. Some argue that all you're doing when your BPI increases significantly is getting better at the games you repeat versus increasing IQ. I agree. |
I'm too young (50) for that shit! By the way TFG, what was that website address again? :eek::biggrin::smile:
Seriously, thanks for the rec...I hear the commercials all the time and have often wondered if it was worth the cost and effort. I'll be checking it out soon, unless I forget! :smile: |
Is it worth paying for it? I have been using the free site and like it so far. I just started a couple of months ago and my BPI is 1095.

I simply play a few hands of Spider Solitaire for speed and fewer moves.
4:46 / 102 is the record so far. After I feel like I've had a cup or two of coffee. Good FREE wakeup routine. |

TFG...thanks for the rec!!
I just did the Fit Test and signed up for a year. $4/month is a great deal IMO. Of course you have to pay all 12 months at one time on that deal, but worth it. Hell, I've signed up for much more idiotic shit for $19.99/month then forgot and was charged for many months...getting NOTHING out of it! That fucking bird/number test was ok until it gave me all of them at the same time to build points!! :mad::smile: I selected morning training notices since that seems to be the common recommendation by you guys. |
I think the BPI is a good tool if you don't make it the objective. Like stock prices, it should be an indicator, not a dictator.
|
For you guys that have been doing it for awhile, do you keeping improving or do you eventually level off?
