As research warns IQ is falling for first time EVER.... our map reveals average scores in every US state
Human intelligence scores are dropping across the US for the first time, research suggests, and experts warn technology could be to blame. IQ exams were first introduced in 1905, and throughout the century, there was a 30-point increase based on scores in logic, vocabulary, spatial reasoning and visual and mathematical problem-solving skills. The average IQ score in the US currently stands at 98 but varies by a gap of about eight points between states, with New Hampshire ranking first with an average IQ of 103.2. More research needs to be conducted to determine why IQ scores are falling across the country, but one expert speculated that a drop in reading and an increase in media entertainment, like YouTube, is at fault. There are also concerns that phones degrade our memory and recall because there is less need to store information with Google at our finger tips.
