Does IQ change with age?

Yes, it decreases by the following formula:

IQ = IQo * Ao/A

Where IQ is your current IQ, A your current age, IQo your IQ when you first measured it, and Ao your age at the time. A 10 year-old child with an IQ of 150 will have gone down to 30 by the time he's 50.

How's that for a scientific explanation of senility?

I just picked up a book "The Mismeasure of Man" - it looks interesting. It's about the measure of intelligence and the history of mistakes we have made in attempting to measure intelligence

That's because the people who design IQ tests are usually as dumb as the people who care about their results.

btw, in 5th grade mine was 149... my buddy (who is now a H.S. dropout and likes to injure small animals and homeless people) had a 154.

Welcome to the genius club.

By the way, I flunked electromagnetism twice in engineering school. But then, Einstein flunked biology so I guess I'm in good company.

Smart regards,

Aurino
