Hey, we're all getting stupider by the day, but according to some really intelligent (I guess) people on the internet, that's not a bad thing.
Yeah, here's the story if you want to read it. But basically, we are getting more and more dumber according to IQ tests, but that's a good thing because of racism or something.
So, are we really all getting less smart? Not so fast. Dworak stressed that the decline in scores doesn't necessarily mean Americans aren't as intelligent as their grandparents or great-grandparents were...
IQ measurement has a controversial history. Many scholars and researchers believe that IQ tests don't give an accurate picture of what we refer to as intelligence. There are also questions as to the validity of IQ testing across disciplines — IQ tests tend to measure academic aptitude at the expense of social and emotional intelligence and artistic creativity.
We aren't dumber, we're just scoring worse on tests that measure intelligence.
And it's not a bad thing because, yeah, we may not be as "intelligent" we are probably getting more "emotionally intelligent" and "creative."
And that's what REALLY matters.
