Our IQs Are Climbing.docx

Variables that Affect IQ scores:

• Large family size is associated with lower average IQs
• First born children tend to be intellectually superior to later-borns
• Occupational status and socioeconomic status are positively correlated with each other and with intelligence
• Higher education is associated with higher intelligence
• Urban regions tend to have higher IQs than rural areas
• Teacher attitudes and expectations may play a role in whether a child fulfills his/her potential
• African-Americans typically score one standard deviation (15 points) lower than European Americans – but when matched for socioeconomic status, this difference is greatly reduced
• Asian Americans score higher than European Americans (11 points)
• No consistent difference in gender is found in general mental ability, but there are certain specific abilities that differ between boys and girls

Questions:
A. – Do you think the test results from your IQ test are above, about, or below your own perceived level of intelligence? Explain.
B. – Do you agree or disagree with the author’s conclusion that our IQs are rising (based on testing) but that we are not really any smarter than previous generations?
C. – How many of the variables apply to you personally (based on your family, economics, experiences, etc.) and do you agree with the research?
