From your page:

"Flynn believes that the increase is actually an increase in abstract problem solving rather than intelligence."

So as I said, the ability to do an IQ test is increasing (cause unspecified), but intelligence (the subject of this thread) is not.

I don't wish to debate IQ further, it would require me to link a bunch of social science papers and I think their methodology is poor and my time is valuable.

If you'd like to make any more points concerning the thread topic I will respond.

No, there is no conclusive evidence that the population's IQ as measured is rising. There are too many sources of error to be certain of this, and enough doubt in what literature there is for it to not be a fact yet.

Ouch. LOL and then you get mad at me for responding to that? Wow.

You're entitled to your opinion, as is Flynn. Which fields use abstract problem solving I wonder? Is it science, mathematics, and engineering? Hmm, curious. Only it isn't.
