menemen@lemmy.world 1 week agoNah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid the test results have shown constant improvements.
That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.
That also said, IQ tests are also a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

IQ tests are not necessarily flawed to assess current state of intelligence, but they cannot be used to compare intelligence today to intelligence a century ago. Because 100 IQ today is not the same as 100 IQ score a century ago.
