The Flynn effect has always been tinged with mystery. First popularized by the political scientist James Flynn, the effect refers to thewidespread increase in IQ scores over time. … What’s most peculiar is how scores have increased:

1) Scores have increased the most on the problem-solving portion of intelligence tests.

2) Verbal intelligence has remained relatively flat, while non-verbal scores continue to rise.

3) Performance gains have occurred across all age groups.

4) The rise in scores exists primarily on those tests with content that does not appear to be easily learned.

What’s puzzling about this increase in general intelligence is that it appears where we’d least expect it. While one might assume that IQ scores could increase over time in terms of crystallized intelligence — the part of the test that measures particular kinds of knowledge, such as being able to count or vocabulary words — it’s actually increased on measures of fluid intelligence, which is the ability to solve abstract problems.
