People Born After 1991 Are Less Intelligent - Study* by Fourwinds: 5:08pm On Jun 19, 2018

A recent study, conducted by Norwegian scientists, has refuted the post-war trend of rising intelligence, which proved that
following World War II, IQ’s of the youth were steadily rising. It was dubbed the Flynn effect after New Zealand intelligence researcher James Flynn. This phenomenon saw average IQ scores rise about three points per decade.

However, researches from the Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research in Oslo say the Flynn effect is now past its peak. In a paper, published in the PNAS journal, Norwegian scientists Ole Rogeberg and Bernt Bratsberg analyzed the data from standardized IQ tests of about 730,000 men, born between 1962 and 1991, who underwent mandatory IQ tests to join the national service.

The study revealed that IQ has Steadily been decreasing since 1975 the IQ of people born in 1991 scored five points lower than previous results. This has been blamed on many factors, For example, the way that now, there is less drilling in subjects like mathematics and languages and the total amount of time spent watching television or using technology has increased.

Dr Ole Rogeberg emphasized low IQ should not necessarily be interpreted as stupidity, but rather children adapting to the new reality of digital technology, skills that cannot be so easily accessed or evaluated by a standardized IQ test.

“Intelligence researchers make a distinction between fluid and crystallised intelligence,” he said. “Crystallised intelligence is stuff you have been taught and trained in, and fluid intelligence is your ability to see new patterns and use logic to solve novel problems.”

One thing the study ruled out it is the progressing low IQ scores being linked to genetic mutations or stemming from a demographic shift. Norwegian researchers analyzed entire families and siblings in an attempt to find any common traits of mental decline, but failed to find any.

Technology is the reason IQ is reducing. Someone wants to see you instead of taking a trip she will rather goto Whatsapp to monitor your last seen. Feminism, fake life, taking selfies inside borrowed spaces like toilets, hotels and other peoples cars. All of these are gross acts of stupidity noting that time and emotional energy is wasted on all these. Instead of engaging in productive work, people while away their time on phone screens and television sets. Leaving their brains underutilized. The greatest form of Energy is emotional energy.
