    Average Iq
In summary: IQ in 1978 and scored 131 in 2006, your 2006 score would be considered "average" because it's not that unusual.I don't know, but it's sad.

“He wanted the phone and she wouldn’t give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it,” Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. “She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn’t get it.”

I'm not sure what's more amazing, cell phones are becoming THAT SMALL or people's common sense has become THAT SMALL.

Funny, this happened in Blue Springs, MO. Now I understand. The only place worse is a few miles down the road in Independance, MO, with a meth lab in every home. :rolleyes:

"chronic allergy sufferer", knowing where all the meth labs in town are, :wink: :wink:

I'm almost afraid to go buy allergy pills. it's embarassing. I usually buy a bunch of vaseline and condoms at the same time so no one notices the pills and thinks I'm a junkie.

How does "average" IQ drop? The scoring system is normalized.

There are various theories, but some possible factors include environmental toxins, changes in education and learning methods, and genetic predispositions.

Is this trend expected to continue or could it reverse in the future?

It is difficult to predict the future trend of average IQ, as it can be influenced by many factors. However, measures can be taken to promote better education and healthy environments to potentially slow or reverse the decline.
