<p>Or maybe one really smart MIT kid played this game multiple times using different IP addresses at MIT.</p>
<p>Princeton is probably not on the list because the students at Princeton are working their you-know-whats off and don’t have the time to participate in the “study.”</p>
<p>
Some of them participated because they came in at number 39.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a formal participatory study anyway, I think it comes from the Lumosity game website.</p>
<p>^^ Caltech is the elite research university that does not appear. I suppose the “working their…off” applies to the students there as well as anywhere.</p>
<p>Let me just say two things -
- This ranking system is sort of dumb, and I can’t believe this game really tests raw intelligence.
and - Why the heck did you have to post this because I went to the Lumosity website, took the free trial, and now I’m hooked and fighting myself not to sign up. Plus if I do I’ll have to fight the temptation to play at work.</p>
<p>BTW - According to this game I’m apparently smarter than I was a couple days ago. The marketers at this website are apparently smart enough to know how to rope egomaniacs like myself in.</p>
<p>
This explains why Caltech isn’t on the list–they probably scoffed at the suggestion that anything might make them smarter.</p>
<p>^ too funny!</p>
