IQ of nazi defendants at Nurmberg trials

They did not. Average in Britain is always 100 at any given time, and then other countries are compared to Britain.

Yes, average IQ in Europe was lower back than. No point to discuss the obvious.

Focusing on one part of the IQ test, the Raven's Progressive Matrices, they found that on average intelligence has risen the equivalent of 20 IQ points since 1950. IQ tests are designed to ensure that the average result is always 100, so this is a significant jump.

Average IQ in Britain in 1945 was 100, just like today. Because British average is always 100 by default.

If they scored 128 in year 1945, then today they would probably score much less, maybe even below 100.

Jana, you really aren't the sharpest tool in the box, are ya?

Why are you so horrible to her??

Don't troll my thread. You are just butthurt Pole who is weirdly bitter about Germans, and that is why you don't like the fact those nazis came out significantly above average in intelligence.

[Peterski]

They had average of 128 by 1945-1946 standards, which were lower than today's standards due to the Flynn Effect.

But average in 1945 in Britain was 100, because average in Britain is always 100 (that's the unit they measure it in).

Jesus Christ, you just don't understand that 100 is by definition what British people on average get?

In year 1945 Brits scored on average 100, because the scale is always adjusted to British results.

If someone scored 128 in 1945, today his score would be lower - not 128. Due to the Flynn Effect.

I don't know if IQ in Europe as a whole was lower or higher on average, but in England IQ is always 100.

Because 100 is average British score by definition, and then the rest of the world is compared to Britain.

Average of 100 in 1945 is very different than average of 100 in 2018 (for 20 IQ points plus). So yes, you are trolling.

[Slavic Italian]

Off topic but it took a lot of powerful nations to come together to defeat Germany.

[Peterski]

Average of 100 in 1945 is very different than average of 100 in 2018 (for 20 IQ points plus).

But they were compared to the average of 100 in 1945, because they were tested back in 1945.

Is it so hard to understand? They do not have 128 IQ by 2018 standards. They are long dead.

[Slavic Italian]

I'd like to see what the current Polish leaders score. I bet pretty well.
