I have a hard time believing that an IQ test is a serious measure of attention.
Lol I can ace an IQ test but I can't function for more than 13 seconds without some kind of mental stimulus, preferably 3 or 4 simultaneous external inputs. TV + Lemmy + bunnies. PC game + phone game + podcast. Yeah I'm smart but God damn do I have attention problems like I never used to. Our entire society needs a phone detox but I'm only doing it if everyone else does too.
Why do I/ society need to detox because you have attention problems? How does your similar-to-adhd affect me? How does my phone usage affect you?
Sounds like you are the one who needs to detox.. but those are your words not mine.
Idc if you need six different stimuli to function, it doesn't affect me. If it affects you, you should change you
