Presentation on flynn effect
- 1. PRESENTATION ON FLYNN EFFECT By- Shashwat Mishra Ujjwal Jain Umesh Sharma Sir Syed Yasir Arafat Khusheel Garg
- 3. JAMES R. FLYNN The Concept of Flynn effect was given by James Flynn In 1984.
- 4. INTRODUCTION The Flynn effect is the substantial increase in intelligence scores measured in many parts of the world from 1930 to present day. It means that you would be having more level of IQ than your ancestors. It is the assumption that average IQ scores have raised over generation. Flynn was the first person to systematically classify the IQ level difference between generations.
- 5. What is IQ ????? An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a score derived from one of several tests designed to assess human intelligence. The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the psychologist William Stern Approximately two-thirds of the population scores between IQ 85 and IQ 115. About 5 percent of the population scores above 125, and 5 percent below 75.
- 6. Countries IQ Level Hong Kong 108 Japan 105 Switzerland 101 China 100 England 100 USA 98 Russia 97 India 82 South Africa 77 This table shows IQ Level in different countries. Facts: Albert Einstein had an IQ Level of 160 . Eleven-year-old Pooja Wahi had excelled in the Mensa IQ test with the highest score of 162. She is one of the youngest to achieve that. With this feat, she has established herself more intelligent than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
- 7. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION From the given case study, we identified following problems: Generation Gap: It is known as change in beliefs and values of current generation than older generation. Technology: Advancement in technology has changed the whole world. Rigid Thinking: Older generation still develops traditional way of doing things.
- 8. SITUATION ANALYSIS From the case study we analyzed that IQ level keeps on increasing generation after generation also they become more smarter and intelligent than the preceding generation. The idea behind this perception is that people of our society have learned to work better within a limited time frame. This trend allows later generations to score better because they make intelligent guesses and does not waste their time trying to get every test item correct. On an IQ scale where 100 is an average score have been rising about 3 points per decade.
- 9. RECOMMENDATION By analyzing the case study, we recommend that young generation could help in absorbing the impact of Flynn Effect by making them aware of modern technologies, gadgets and day to day changing environment. Well nourished brains perform better in IQ tests, where western countries which are developed are able to score more IQ than the developing countries so we need to upgrade the standard of living.
