Did you read what I said?

I was born at the very end of December 1964. And it depends on who you ask when each generation started and begins.

There has been the Flynn Effect, of increasing IQ of people measured in various countries up to about the mid 1990's.

Then a continuing trend of decrease from the mid 1990's onward.

No one knows for sure why there was the Flynn Effect.  Or why it reversed in the mid 1990's.

Has any of you been in IQ tests and if yes, do you dare to publish the results? I have it done twice.

First one at mid 90s in Finland, Mensa was searching new members in one book fair and made the test just by curiosity. Threshold for membership is 130 and I missed it with 2 points. Second was about 10 years later in Belgium, related to tasks I did at that time. Result was four points less than in first one, but I was still doomed smart enough not to be closed in a funny house.

I was tested at 138

I was tested at 138

That's excellent result.

Mine was around 130 many years ago. (guess I'm one of the dumber GenXers)

I'm sure I'm dumber now but hopefully wiser too

128 IQ in 2001, doubt I'd get 108 these days.

To be fair, I had Elaine take it for me. She took the test at a Pakistani restaurant where my buddy Kramer spilled coffee all over it and distracted her. She took it for me again later and scored a 151.

151 is is good enough for you to pretend to be an architect.

Heh!

Katy was a different time. Michael allowed her in the office to sell handbags. She helped us get a new espresso maker.
