Person A still gets to keep the brain, so "person" A survives

Person A's personality survives. Person B's body survives. Quality of life is probably shot. Because the brain has to suddenly adapt to a new body, also we might finally have an answer to the idea of if everyone sees color the same.

The endorphins released from regular exercise will help keep the brain healthy and may improve cognitive function to a degree but you won't hoping from one side of the bell curve to another. So if sitting at a sub 110 IQ you won't jump to 115+ because you start lifting.

It'll help teach you discipline if you take it seriously enough and discipline will help you succeed in life.

Also much like exercising a part of the body, you will see the best results from doing lifts that target the area you want to improve in.

If you think having more knowledge makes you more intelligent then you're a brainlet but that being said, go read academic papers and books to obtain more knowledge. If you think your vocabulary could use some work then start reading classic literature, want to be better with problem solving then study mathematics or logic.

You won't be able to improve these things by lifting but by targeting the area you beleive you're lacking in.

This question's answer depends on an understanding of consciousness that we've not even come close to. The only correct answer is "we don't know."

Imma say "technically both".

That's not entirely true. Scientists are pretty certain that the brain is the seat of consciousness. It's what happens in the brain to give us such consciousness that they don't understand.

Being fat makes you stupider, because your body has to work that much harder just to stay alive. So that reduces the available energy for higher cognitive thought.

So, I guess, the answer is "yes, but only up to a certain point." The opposite is probably also possible, if you train TOO much.

hell no. you wont magically score a higher IQ after getting strong.
