The article does mention IQs being lower, though. It’s just not the only measure mentioned. I’m curious how the others were measured

No that doesn’t make IQ a good measurement of intelligence. Volumes have been written on this and how it is more a measurement of one’s heritable environment. Source: I am a millennial with an above average IQ.

And again…. They tested for more than just IQ. Read the article. Try and understand it.

Both things can be true: that IQ is not a good index to use in this context and that other measurements have shown cognitive decline.

Literally no one has been arguing that iq is a good index. What are you ranting about

So, it’s a measurement of Gen Z’s heritable environment?

Or their apathy towards IQ tests.

So… when used at a population level rather than at an individual level, and used for comparison between generations from the same place… they’re a good metric?

Good in what sense? Consider that people do better on an IQ test if you offer to pay them more based on their performance. One might conclude that Gen Z values the IQ test than prior generations, or it could be reflective of the environment having more food swamps.

Did... you read the comment? They made a simple statement. They didn't go beyond that and made no other claims. You're the one assuming, here.

For real. It’s a fine example of reading while being illiterate.

I tried but nothing happened when I clicked "show full article."

Yeah, well I think this thread has a very angry vibe and needs a picture of a cat!
