This article intricately explained the functionality of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) tests and explained their accuracy. According to an accidental discovery by social scientist James Flynn, an individual's IQ increases by a rate of about 0.3 points per year, which results in the increased intelligence of each generation. Upon reading this, I was very confused for I did not understand how intelligence simply increases with time. How can generations simply get smarter without any other factors other than time?
