Okay.
I laughed.
I am a very bad man.

Is the entire premise is this thread wrong?

Declining global IQ: reality or moral panic?

In short, IQ is rising and continuing to rise, but less markedly now: 2.4 points per decade between 1948 and 1985, compared with 1.8 between 1986 and 2020. “But trees can’t reach the sky, there are inevitably limits to what the human brain can do,” says Ramus. This stagnation, or reduction in the Flynn effect, can therefore be interpreted as an inevitable plateau in cerebral and cognitive development: just as an athlete’s performance is limited by the power of their muscles, so too is that of the brain (which is not a muscle!) from both a physiological and socio-economic point of view.

Or did the tests change because they measured "white?"

Have you ignored the poignant diatribe of Dersh or the deep analysis of handwriting?

Do you have anything intelligent to say about IQ?

 

[JoePepsiCo]

The tests were reworked to eliminate inherent (white-protestant) Racism and elevate minority scores...

Nope. Try again.

Uh..., no thanks. Dillinger taught me not to banter with idiots...

The article I linked to addresses your concern about a consistent IQ test over time.

“It is the raw scores of the tests, before calibration, that are compared from one period to the next”, explains Franck Ramus. And not just any test, since the meta-analysis only considers the Raven Matrices to reassess IQ. This geometric test, which has remained unchanged since its creation in 1936, measures so-called “fluid” intelligence, enabling problem solving without the need for prior knowledge. It is therefore not subject to cultural obsolescence, as verbal tests typically are.

Yes. One link seals the deal. That's how Litoogle works.

Did you know that teachers cannot put gay portraits on their desks???

From the NEA:

Many of these same communities have suffered the most from high-stakes testing. Since their inception almost a century ago, the tests have been instruments of racism and a biased system. Decades of research demonstrate that Black, Latin(o/a/x), and Native students, as well as students from some Asian groups, experience bias from standardized tests administered from early childhood through college.

"We still think there’s something wrong with the kids rather than recognizing their something wrong with the tests," Ibram X. Kendi of the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at Boston University and author of How to be an Antiracist said in October 2020. "Standardized tests have become the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and Brown minds and legally exclude their bodies from prestigious schools."

Agreed an octagonal thinker...

Gay means being happy.

are you saying that teachers cannot show visual representation of happiness on their desks?

That article says nothing about IQ tests being reworked (to benefit minorities or anyone else).

I repeat, do you have anything intelligent to say about IQ?

Word play. The refuge of the unimaginative in this case...

Was I supposed to say LGBQNEXUSWTF+++?

 

[JoePepsiCo]

DuckDuckGo "when were IQ tests updated" yields several pages on the history of the test including the modern updates.

IQs aren’t dropping.

This is apparently a difficult concept for some low IQ people to accept.

DuckDuckGo "when were IQ tests updated" yields several pages on the history of the test including the modern updates.

And yet the data provided by MR (which he called out and you ignored) specifically mentions that it only includes analysis from tests that had not changed. That is not dependent on the search engine being used.
