IQ Chatter

 I sat and watched an interview yesterday....podcast guy talking to a PhD-gal who specialized in education.

So at some point, PhD-gal notes that US colleges have reached a point where just about anyone can sign up, and get in the front-door.  Reflecting upon this....she then noted that low-IQ folks  now have the greatest opportunity in history....to attend college.

I reviewed a number of sources.  The college crowd generally believes that getting inside the door of a college....requires a IQ of 115 (minimum).  I should note here....100 is considered the 'average' of society (in America).

However, a study done in the 1990s....says that even at a IQ  level of 85....most folks can survive basic college (probably not engineering or the sciences).

Going back to the PhD-gal....she commented at some point, if you had low-IQ folks (say at 85) attending, if they did graduate....there's nothing much to really say they improved their low-IQ situation.  This group would also go  out and impress people as intellectuals....when they were still low-IQ.

At the end....I pondered, if the low-IQ folks graduated college and got jobs teaching at high schools, then all they'd produce were low-IQ high school folks.  Evidence?   Well....you just look around and start to grasp how crappy things have developed into...over the past thirty years.
