I have experienced cognitive gains that would almost certainly show up on IQ tests by eating better animal sources of micronutrients. Studies would be great.
How big cognitive gains are you talking about? IQ tests have poor test-retest reliability. Have you ever taken an IQ test? eg, SATs. If you did on your prior diet, you could take it again. Do you think that your peak performance has improved or just average?
I scored 1560 / 34 on SAT / ACT and 99th percentile on GMAT as well, if I recall correctly. I’ve never taken an IQ test. I was born in 1984, so by the time I took them the SAT’s were less g-loaded.
I would say average, peak and trough performance all greatly improved, but I can’t quantify it. I felt like a genius, relative to where I had been, and much quicker mentally.
I have no way of returning to my previous diet right now, so I can’t rigorously test this.

What sources specifically?
