Looks like Flynn himself disagrees with somebody here: Are You Smarter Than Your Grandfather? Probably Not



I'm smart enough not to spend any money on porn when I can get it online for free.

I do believe in the Flynn effect.

Quote: endermike

5) More kids born before 1950 will have their intelligence lowered.

Gee, looks like Flynn himself disagrees with somebody here: Are You Smarter Than Your Grandfather? Probably Not

Quote: Key point from the 3rd paragraph:

Ultimately, Flynn concludes that human beings are not smarter—just more modern


BTW, Flynn never mentions prenatal care in the article.....LOL!

Here's a different study that shows Canadians have higher IQs than Americans. So neah!

That's because Canada sends all their dumb people over here to take the IQ tests. Canada was smart enough to send the Bieber over here. They aslo seem to get rid of all the talented actors and singers, no sure why they do that.

I have not researched this, but I might suggest: There are more kids going to college than ever. It means there are more kids taking the tests (SAT and ACT). The "extra" kids who are taking the test are much lower on the bell curves than the ones who would already be taking the test (when fewer kids went to college).

Sounds like what happened with lowering the requirements for mortgages leading up to the 2009 crash and now with making the Marines gender neutral.

I can find a study that shows that Gilligan was
smarter than the Professor, so what.
