Good point

But even so, that still seems very low. If you’re going to be accepted by an engineer school, you’d have to graduate high school with decent enough grades. It takes a bit of brain power to do that, which would imply those being accepted would be smarter than these implied IQ’s.

Assuming the SAT scores are still relatively correlating with IQ scores, and I think we all agree that kids today are less well educated than times past, it’s a reflection of the lower quality of education most are receiving today.

Graduate high school with D's (unwarranted bias against science fiction, roller hockey, and hominid reproductive biology), ace the ASVAB, go to a school where they actually teach you stuff... the rest is history.

Some HIQ societies don't accept SAT tests taken after 2005 does not correlate to IQ. Maybe take the 'Chitling Test'.
