the claim

Taking IQ tests improves intelligence.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that taking IQ tests improves intelligence?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one cites a meta-analytic review finding that working memory training does not improve intelligence measures, and two discuss test-taking strategies and testwiseness as improving test scores rather than general intelligence. None directly tests whether taking IQ tests raises intelligence.
