I have some alarming news... It turns out that IQ scores in the United States have been dropping in recent years, and I'm not talking just a few points. Researchers from Northwestern University found that IQ ability scores in three of four key categories dropped since 2006.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of this situation. Are we really surprised that IQ scores are dropping in a country where people are eating Tide pods and trying to take selfies with bears?
Maybe it's not that we're getting dumber though, but rather that the IQ test is getting harder. Who even knows what a rhombus is anymore?
But let's not lose hope. Maybe there's a solution. Maybe we just need to start doing more brain exercises, like crossword puzzles or playing chess. Or maybe we just need to start drinking more green smoothies and doing yoga. Because if there's one thing we know for sure, it's that kale and a good cat-cow stretch can solve any problem....
Overall, while the news of dropping IQ scores is certainly concerning, let's not lose our sense of humor. Maybe we're not getting dumber after all, and even if we are, at least we can laugh about it. And who knows, maybe in a few years IQ scores will start going up again. Until then, let's just keep eating our kale and taking selfies with bears.
