Analysis - Evan Horowitz: People are getting dumber. That's not a judgment; it's a global fact. In a host of leading nations, IQ scores have started to decline. - NBCNewsTHINK
Or — just as troubling — if we are keeping up with the Joneses in terms of national development, that means we are likely to experience similarly plummeting IQs in the near future. At which point, the U.S. will face the same dangers of intellectual and economic stagnation.
If we want to prevent America from suffering this fate, we’d better figure out why IQs are dropping elsewhere. But it’s uncharted territory. Until recently, IQ scores only moved in one direction: up. And if you're thinking,"Isn't the test set up so that 100 is always the average IQ?," that's only true because researchers rescale the tests to correct for improving raw scores.
