James Flynn

James Flynn was a researcher known for being among the first to document a significant trend in intelligence testing. He observed that IQ scores have been steadily increasing from one generation to the next, a phenomenon now named the 'Flynn effect' in his honor. Flynn also contributed to the interpretation of this trend, arguing that the rise in scores might not reflect an actual increase in general intelligence.
