Are they averaging in the IQs of recent immigrants?
Just asking!
Diversity is our strength
Adding Somalis and Pakistanis into the mix will bring down an average IQ real fast.
Multiple generations of first cousin marriage tends to do that. I’d love to see what the average IQ is of sharia families. Probably 85.
Sweden is 0 IQ.
I’m sure they are averaging IQs of all the arabs and berbers and somalis that are now “Danes” and “Norwegians.”
PC kills brain cells.
An annual reduction of IQ by 0.21 percent on average has been measured in Norwegians since that year, equivalent to a 6.5 percent decrease between generations.
Coincidentally, the mid- to late-1990s were when the muslim population of Norway (which is still admittedly quite small) began to grow at a more rapid pace.
And the dumbass government officials who opened the borders. Similar comment for our own country.
Just like Americans have been getting shorter for the last three decades.
In Norway, I believe,it is that the affluence that is making people mentally lazy. One does not have to strive very hard to have a decent living.
My friend, who is Norwegian and a retired teacher, says that students are not being challenged like they use to be.
Your excellent question would be a basic question in any 101 Demographics course.
Is there different/new in any large demographic shift?

That might be a major factor besides millions of low IQ jihadists now in the population base.
It couldn’t have been that high to begin with considering they decided let all those ‘refugees’ into the country.
I would think immigration does play a huge part here.
Not sure if this is kosher here on freepublic, but certain nationalities and ethnicities tend to score extremely low on iq tests. Somalians being a prime example.
Though, I also think the destruction of the education system might play a role, but then the Finnish results surprise me, given their educational system and very limited immigration compared to the rest of the nordics.
Finns?
It must be alcohol.
Just look at my postings since I joined over a decade ago. That’s a 20 point IQ decline right there. Age, women, rock and roll and beer.
What can a man do :P
Intelligence of Norwegians and Danes on the wane, say researchers

Evident by the importation of mussulmen by the boat load ...
The effects for you might be a bit different.
You certainly are having an increase in population at the lower IQ brackets, but you still attract the cream of the crop from around the world replenishing the top levels.
Elois and Morlocks I suppose.

If you don’t drink

So why die thirsty !
