Personal security/ Scholars
at the universities of Ulster, UK and Oulu in Finland found a decline in the
average IQs
The researchers looked at the average IQs of 25,000 male conscripts
between the ages of 18 and 25 between 1988 and 2009. They found that the tests
showed increases in scores for three tests (shapes, numbers and words)
averaging four IQ points each decade between 1988 and 1997. However the results
showed an average decline of two IQ points each decade in all of the tests
between 1997 and 2009.
“The decline in the average IQ has been
detected in several Nordic countries, Australia, Britain, the United States and
the Netherlands,” added Helsinki University assistant professor Markus Jokela.
