Flynn who?


A widely held hypothesis is that people lose intelligence as they age, the so-called Flynn Effect, arrived at by comparing IQ tests of elderly people with today's young people. This flys in the face of comparisons of IQ scores of these same "elderly" people to their own era (a half a century before) where apparently IQ losses with age are minimal. One has to wonder about the IQ test makers themselves. Surely they've changed along with their various indeterminate intelligence "measuring" devices. Who knows? Where's Einstein when you need him?
