Has humanity reached ‘peak intelligence’?
&gt; Since the intelligence test was invented more than 100 years ago, our IQ scores have been steadily increasing. Even the average person today would have been considered a genius compared to someone born in 1919 – a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect.<p>Hard to see this as anything but an indictment of IQ tests.<p>People have not gotten smarter so whatever these tests are measuring and however well they predict success, they&#x27;re not measuring intelligence.
