IQ in the Scandinavian countries had been on the up for decades, but the trend has now been reversed, according to a report published by journal Intelligence.

Just look at my postings since I joined over a decade ago. That’s a 20 point IQ decline right there.

I feel like I got smarter since I joined the FR. So many people here have enlightened me.
