When you test more dumb people, your scores go down. Right?

RE: When you test more dumb people, your scores go down. Right?

Are they including recent immigrants in the tests?

[HYPOCRACY]

Importation from shithole countries. Duh.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes, article author, write your piece to deflect away from the deliberate dumbing down of public education.

By both government and teachers’ unions.

[BradyLS]

Well, our politics certainly confirm it. Especially on the left.

[LibWhacker]

Low IQ foreigners moving in will bring down IQs every time.

[BobL]

It’s kind of tough to do well on IQ tests when you’re not even taught how to read.

[Secret Agent Man]

I should also include the author fails to recognize immigration of folks from non-european and non-asian countries, that score lower on iq tests than europeans, as a general group comparison.

So, is it true? Are we getting dumber?

Well, there was this girl that used gorilla glue all over the top of her head...

the children are not being rigorously challenged, the curriculum is dumbed down, and from about age 55 on down people just don't seem to be "aware"....of course there's many older that are just as dumb as a door nail...

but we have a mixed race/religion/ethnicity in this country...some will pull down the others....just like the murder rate...it is as high as it is because of a certain demographic....

Do you really think they need to? If they were, honestly, the scores would probably be higher.

[jmacusa]

Without a doubt a certain class of people are dumb. Re my tag line.

[libertasbella]

They attempted this with Raven’s Progressive Matrices, but I doubt recognizing geometric progressions paints a very complete picture of someone’s overall intelligence.

Top Soil Depletion. Topsoil depletion occurs when the nutrient-rich organic topsoil, which takes hundreds to thousands of years to build up under natural conditions, is eroded or depleted of its original organic material. Historically, many past civilizations’ collapses can be attributed to the depletion of the topsoil.

Mebbe raassisst to suggest. but there it is................

[Aria]

And they’re going to take racism out of math - that should help. /s

To say nothing of the people that sent her money.
