Flynn effect Defined
A rise in IQ of the general population of about 3 points per decade, discovered by James Flynn of New Zealand in the early 1980's. If true, the average person of 100 years ago would be considered retarded today. A variety of explanations have been offered, either explaining the rise as an artifact of testing or as a real increase in intelligence, but no explantion has gained widespread acceptance. To compensate for the IQ increase, test makers select a new sample for the norm reference on their tests about every ten years. See IQ.
