Young Spocks - Lots Of 'Em

Science Daily reports "A research project at the University of Gothenburg has been testing large groups of 13-year-olds in Sweden since the early 1960s using the same intelligence test. The tests have taken place at approximately five year intervals and consist of an inductive-logic test, a verbal test and a spatial test." "The good news is today’s teenagers are achieving demonstrably better results in the logic test than was the case fifty years ago."
