I have posted variants of this because it interests me, but do you think I will get smarter if I train myself to make decisions more?

I have been getting into pro and con debates on different topics in my head since 2020 as a way of training and improving my cognitive intelligence and I guess a third party could attest to any improvements I have made in that area, better than I could attest to it on my own. I am researching the parts of the brain that this type of training would improve on.

You would not necessarily get smarter but you will get better at making decisions because you have more experience.

Thanks for the MHO

From what I've heard there is no way to increase IQ. You would gain life skills though.

Engaging in pro and con debates and making more decisions can indeed enhance your cognitive abilities. This practice can stimulate critical thinking, improve problem-solving skills, and enhance your understanding of different perspectives. By challenging yourself to consider various arguments, you strengthen neural pathways associated with reasoning and analysis. In my experience, using these methods can lead to improved decision-making skills and cognitive flexibility. As you continue this mental exercise, you might notice improvements in your ability to process information and draw logical conclusions, contributing to overall intellectual growth. Keep exploring and challenging your mind!
