[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1317725, member: 694"] I truly believe that I read an article the average American had an IQ of 110 in 1910 late last century it had slipped to 100 and now we are approaching 90 . They described 89 as dull thinkers. You hit the nail on the head about critical analysis and problem solving. I still get called from time to time as I was a certified Root Cause Failure Analyst and instructor investigating refinery incidents it would blow your mind at some of the younger generations problem solving skills, along with lower educational standards most communication skills are on the level of the Amazon Indian tribes math skills of one, two and many. There is a tribe way back up in the jungle that have no number for over two other than many in their language. I seen we were headed for trouble thirty years ago I went back to take a refresher organic chemistry class and had to retake the standard entrance exam in a room full of freshly graduated HS students. My reading level was grade 14 and the majority of the kids just out of HS were 7th and 8th grade, that is how far our educational system had slipped. My grammar skills where that of a howler monkey grammar might as well been Egyptian hieroglyphics as far as I was concerned. [/QUOTE]
