12b... Education: Renorming
IQ tests due to Flynn effect may have unintended consequences;
Making IQ tests harder has educational, financial, legal and
military recruiting implications - The steady rising of IQ
scores over the last century - known as the Flynn effect - causes
IQ tests norms to become obsolete over time. To counter this
effect, IQ tests are "renormed" (made harder) every
15-20 years by resetting the mean score to 100 to account for
the previous gains in IQ scores. But according to new research,
such renorming may have unintended consequences, particularly
in the area of special education placements for children with
borderline or mild mental retardation. The findings are reported
on in the October issue of American Psychologist, a journal of
the American Psychological Association (APA). - Read
