A new survey of some 160,000 students found something horrible about college students in the richest countries in the world.

    Interesting how the “age gap” in the US for numeracy and literacy is conspicuously small. But relatively large for problem solving.

    In others, you can see recent history in really humongous gaps.

    Also, I can’t help but wonder how much of that is a “normal” trend? I was stupider, and would have tested worse, at 16. Maybe at 20.

      I was thinking the same thing. We would have to look at results from 2015 for example.

      And I found this:

      This is from 2012. 16-24 had lower results than 25-34 so maybe it is a normal situation?

        Interesting.

        Yes that was my suspicion.

        I think this would be a more solid trend if the 16-24 bracket ages, and ends up less intelligent when they’re 25-34.
