Charles Murray’s social science is sometimes provocative, usually controversial, and always significant to the national debate.

A longstanding puzzle in cognitive science is the secular rise in cognitive skill across generations. Cognitive scientists emphasise explanations such as improvements in health and nutrition. This column describes research using an economic model and population administrative data from Sweden to argue that this ‘Flynn effect’ may originate in part from changes in economic

a- Recently, VDARE.com’s Lance Welton cited my work when suggesting that a general decline in intelligence—among whites, quite apart from the immigration of lower IQ races—was one reason for the disgraceful jury verdict in the Derek Chauvin show trial. People often react incredulously when told of this IQ decline: “Haven’t you heard of the Flynn Effect?

The New York Times finally gets around to running an obituary for James Flynn, the most important leftist intelligence researcher of the last half century, who died December 11 of the last year. Similarly, it took the Times a long time to print an Arthur Jensen obituary. Unlike Jensen’s, however, now that this one is finally here, it’s pretty good: A philosopher who moved into psychology and studied I.Q., he showed that as society grows more technical, human intellectual abilities expand ...

Nothing, it seems, had changed. Those facts, however, disguise a surprising truth. IQ tests are based on scaled scores. That is: the student’s  raw test score is translated into an IQ score according to a formula. And — here’s the key part — that formula is readjusted every ten years.

Raw scores on the underlying test have gone considerably over the history ov...
