Processing speed is very largely about practice. Something new will take more concerted effort. Something well practised will become more second-nature and automatic. Think about language or maths. When we are first learning them, it can take forever. But then it gets easier.

# How do I increase my processing speed?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-04-08)

I have an IQ of around 90 (with 88 of that as reasoning IQ and 92 as performance IQ). I’m extremely worried about getting a job and doing well. Are there any exercises, medication, lifestyle changes and the like that can get me to increase my processing speed in the context of workplace performance? I personally was thinking of a combination between exercise, the Dual-N-Back program, stimulants, and a ketogenic diet.
