Satt med ett IQ-test där jag alltid brukar få 130 +- tre poäng. Mensa Norge. När jag försökte med samma test nu ett år senare fick jag ett resultat på 136. Men det som var intressant var att jag var helt drängfull när jag gjorde testet. Alltså 1,5 promille+. Det var också en uppgift jag aldrig lyckats med tidigare som jag helt plötsligt fick någon uppenbarelse om hur man ska lösa. Det är som att alkoholen låste upp någon ny dimension i mitt huvud som aldrig funnits tidigare. Man tänker ju att alkoholen ska få en att bli trögare i skallen, men jag upplevde motsatta effekten när jag tog det här testet och blev uppriktigt förvånad över att se mitt resultat förbättras.
Läste lite om fenomenet:
Can alcohol make men smarter? Study suggests yes
Har ni också upplevt samma effekt att ni blir smartare efter ni har druckit och kan lösa problem som tidigare inte var möjligt?

Citat:
In the study, originally published online in an earlier 2012 issue of Consciousness and Cognition, Wiley and her team tested 40 social drinkers. Half of the subjects were told to watch an animated movie while being given snacks and enough vodka cranberry drinks to give them a blood alcohol level of 0.075, just below the legal limit of 0.08. The other group had to watch the same movie without any treats.
Then, everyone was asked to finish problem-solving brain teasers. Tests included seeing a group of words and finding a fourth word that would fit with the previous words. One question asked what word works with peach, arm and tar. Another asked which word matched with blue, cottage and Swiss. (If you're stumped, the answers are at the bottom of the story.)
Astonishingly, those in the drinking group averaged nine correct questions to the six answers correct by the non-drinking group. It also took drunk men 11.5 seconds to answer a question, whereas non-drunk men needed 15.2 seconds to think. Both groups had comparable results on a similar exam before the alcohol consumption began.
It's important to note that their level of alcohol consumption was below the legal limit, and it worked on creative problems but not on working memory problems. According to Wiley, alcohol improves creative memory by decreasing working memory, which is the ability to remember one thing while you're thinking of something else.
