It occurred to me that I may not be able to detect declining cognition over time due to age, or an incipient illness, or other general health factors. Does anyone periodically test their cognition using some standardised method, assessing working memory, verbal fluidity etc?
(I'm not talking about IQ obviously.)
I keep track of changes in my personality (Big 5) and political orientation (Political Compass and 8Values) every couple months, but I haven't been able to find any good (and free) neurocognitive assessment I can use to track cognitive performance.
As I understand, the problem of typical "intelligence" tests is that if they're done too frequently, it's easy to just get better at doing those particular tasks and getting higher scores, making them unsuitable for tracking your cognition in the long term.
I would love to see a FOSS webpage or tool that facilitated it, I believe there are lots of papers describing the exercises themselves, the problem is merely implementation.
