WionGen Z is officially less intelligent than millennials, first recorded intergenerational IQ dropGen Z is now officially the only generation to measure lower than their predecessors in intelligence.

Growing up all I heard was “wahh millenials, theyre so dumb because computer and calculators. Millennials aren’t as skilled as parents because soft and indoor office jobs. Millennials can’t fix/handyman things cuz lazy/consumerism”

For almost a century, the Flynn Effect was the standard. Yet, suddenly, it ended with Gen Z. This isn’t opinions bud. It’s science.
