Americans' IQ Declining for First Time in Almost a Century, Study Finds
Americans' average IQ is in decline for the first time in nearly a century, according to a new study, a finding that comes as many schools gut curricula standards to promote so-called equity and inclusion.
My preliminary research on this subject suggests that this study can only be based on average income and education expenditure.Lets face it how do you get a nation to do an IQ test? SO maybe a better explanation would be the US voted for Biden!!! Obviously I know you did not but if you had, an 80 IQ average would be generous. Ha ha.
Also, the IQ tests themselves are suspect at best (I have taken a number of them over the years, and scored highly).
Who decided multiple choice pattern recognition is an accurate measurement of IQ in the first place? All a high score really means is that a person is good at taking multiple choice pattern recognition tests. Nothing more.
The real world is a much better test of intelligence. However, I will mention that we do seem to be drowning in morons these days... so maybe this article is accidentally correct.
Success in the real world primarily depends on pattern recognition.
