The one thing that is very true that we tend to forget about improvement we had made because it just becomes who we are and we don't see it anymore. So keeping a journal is something what give us measurement of improvement. Finally i went back to IS just for fun now but not as intesively as before it's just about 10-15 minutes a day
Personally the post about chess tournament just drove me to play with it again
(I don't know if it's just wrote to keep this list more active and i don't care until I could personally experience some benefits
Oh BTW I have to mention one thing that stopped me doing IS. When I was practicing IS the most I was a student so my intent was to have more access to data i was learning about. I can say that my analitical skills increased and I could feel it on the exams(statistics, microeconomie or macroeconomie). I'd like to add that I had interesting results in sport as well. My time of reaction had improved so it looked like I
had more time to
make decision;), but i was disappointed when I have to memorize pure texts like (rules, theory...and unfortunately they had the biggest impact in my education; in the other side I believe that's irrelevant if it comes to learn real life skills)
Basically when I looking in the past that was main reason that I quit then. Maybe I just had too much expectation to this little tool
I can say that IQ is irrelevant to me because It won't guarantee you to achieve a success by it's own. It can be like a faith you can say everything because it's just has no physical form and it's not 100% proved to be true.
Have a fun

Thank you for being one of those to ":go first," and thank you for your
input. My necessarily brief-at-the-moment response is that there is a cluster of
various effects from practice of ImageStreaming, some immediate and some
readily perceptible and some otherwise or subtle. Immediate, easily perceptible
effects like that immediate freshness of perception and thinking which most of
you who've reported have reported on, does appear to wear away if one goes
through a prolonged period in which he isn't practicing. Apparent long-term
intelligence effects are usually subtle without a good IQ test and hard to notice
nost of the time, but seem to hold up indefinitely once established. Other
effects appear to fall in-between, though the immediate boost in language skills
appears to be pretty permanent. I think some of the variation in reports from
people who have practiced or are practicing ImageStreaming, stems from what
has caught their attention and perceptual attention from all these various
effects that result from ImageStreaming. What's caught their attention is what
they identify as the effect of ImageStreaming and because of the variation among
this spray of benefits, some find "the effects of ImageStreaming" to be
permanent and others as temporary.
What's needed, of course, is large numbers of people in substantial
controlled comparison experiments with a wide range of indices being tested - tested
before, after, and longitudinally. Until that can happen, we have to depend
upon largely anecdotal observations and reports from individuals like yourself
who have the courage and initiative to study the effects directly for
themselves. My thanks and appreciation for your contribution to this topic. ....win
