I agree with Venus that meaningful occupation for the brain may be better than the games.

Neuro-Psych testing is a lot of fun in terms of the process. It was not fun to me to read the results. Basically, my results were extremely weird: I have superior verbal intelligence and average or even low average for non-verbal intelligence (I am lazy to open the file now) and the difference between the two occurs in only 2% of the population - in other words, for other people the two markers of intelligence are closer together. It explained a lot in my life. Even now (this is age - yours - and laziness, not medications) I see how the math ability is degrading and the verbal stays the same. I am so lazy I use the calculator all the time. I am sure if I just imposed a ban on the calculator use and started making calculations mentally, with estimations, and on paper, as I did in school, I would have become smarter - I would have regained some capacity, that it.

Neuro-Psych testing determines a whole lot more than intelligence. It will tell you what you are good at and what you are not good at. It is one of the most powerful tools in psychology.

Enjoy the Neuro-Psych testing.
Thanks for this!
