The concepts of intelligence and genius are often associated with creativity, and studies have shown that highly creative people usually are considered highly intelligent by common standards. However, a person with a high IQ does not necessarily exhibit a high level of creativity. For example, in a famous study conducted early in this century, researchers followed 1,500 children with high IQs (above 140). None of these children grew up to exhibit the levels of creativity commonly associated with genius. This suggests that there are indeed differences in the way that creative people think, and the convergent, analytic modes of thinking commonly measured by intelligence tests may be important for creative thought, but are not sufficient themselves
In other words scoring well on an IQ test doesn't make a person superior. Since you need to have a before score it might be more lodgical to test it out yourself. Find out if it makes any difference if you tried it.
One thing I can definately assure you regardless of IQ score my thinking has changed for the better. I have never thought highly of IQ test even when they sprung them on us at school I deliberately failed at them. You cannot catagorise a person by numbers yet so many people do. It robs individual of the chance to discover their own special skills to offer to society because they have been pigeonholed and push in a direction according to the numbers.
Another interesting quirk about IQ test your career can actually influence the score. I was walking past the TV when they had an IQ test on... I did the test and thought that's easy bet architech and builders find that easy too. Top scorers were the builders. Reason I guessed this they were turning abstract pictures to rotate them to match... the job was find the odd one out... anyone with experience in reading building plans would have to find this part of the test easy. So all IQ tests really prove is that you were able to 'Learn'.
Given time and exercise you can improve your IQ score if that is your intent. It wasn't mine when I got the course. I wanted to understand what my inner mind was offering my conscious mind.

Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of perceiving in unhabitual ways. - William James
The true genius is a mind of large general powers, accidently determined to some particular direction. - Samuel Johnson
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm. - Anonymous

If you want data relating to Mr Wengers study of IQ in relation to image streaming check his site. Since he and or others did the research, why do individuals using a course that not only uses image streaming but other tools that may also be improving their mental creativity and thus their IQ have to 'prove' that they have increased their IQ using image streaming?
There would still be no proof because you lack the controls of a proper scientific study. If you don't want to conduct a proper research... ie get a group of people who have yet to learn image streaming. Find their starting IQ have them image stream then test them again. Then realisticly you'll have to be your own test subject. Test your IQ before you learn image streaming, do image streaming for a while and test yourself again. Rest assured, it won't matter to you if your IQ has gone up or not you'll notice that your thinking is clearer and solving problems with more ease and even find learning easier.
People posting IQ test results on a forum from a test over the internet isn't proof of anything concrete. You lack the evidence of before and after research.

Yes, i see your points but however i asked for proof for the Einstien Factor's assertion that Image Streaming does improve Iq score. I also would like to say that Image Streaming has everything to do with the Genius Code because it is in its course.
I just want to know if anyone who has done image streaming can prove this increase of iq score with their tests. i do not wish to catergorise but merely to be convinced of this new research.
Sorry, I read "your Einstein factor' and I thought that you might think LSC was connected with it.
I have the book and plus the Genius Code by LSC. They're both great in the teaching of the image stream and accelerated learning in general.
Good Luck,
