IQ level of present generation

Yes Kalyani has rightly pointed out that IQ is high in today's generation but Eq level is dipping all time low now.

[quote]To my mind the way kids are being brought up today, innocence is the greatest casualty! Simple joy is missing in their lives at the graveyard of expectations making them more prone to dpression and worse at the dawn of adulthood! [/quote]

Yes, its true, in a bid to make their children win the rat race of scoring marks their innocence is being compromised. I know so many children who are rushed form one hobby class to another without any proper time to let them play as they desire. All in a bid to making them well-rounded persons, which ironically will happen only when they are able to do what they want to!

What Sandhya quoted is a perfect example of zero EQ! Children as young as 8 and 10 years are resorting to suicides because4 they are unable to process the negative thoughts into positive!

Friends what you said is right.The children who born earlier 15-20 years have more IQ level than present generation.

Level of intelligence depends on surroundings and technology. Presently, there are gadgets like mobile phones, video games, computer etc. This has added to intelligence. However, present generation has lesser capacity to memorize and make even simple calculation without aid of calculator.

Gulshan ji, you are correct as the Intelligence of a children purely depends on the surroundings and technology only.

These are at best resources which provide access to a huge base of information and the kids need that cognitive ability to develop themselves as mature human beings - they must be capable of differentiating good and bad to develop morality and right emotional intelligence. Only flood of data is not going to take them anywhere!

Childrens in their early age get everything easily. Technology has made such changes.The way of living is changing and matter of fact,Childrens are becoming more intelligent.

Now the generation is more fast due to the development of technology so their iq raised.

IQ- means 'intelligence quotient. This is computed by Mental age/ chronological age. If a child is mentally retarded, IQ will be less. Thus if a child is 15 years old but has intelligence of 10 years old, IQ will be 10/15 or 2/3. This is a topic in psychology. I do not know what EQ means.

It is true that the IQ level of children is now much more than previous generations, thanks to exposure to all kinds of information systems and easy access to a lot of educational material! Yet sadly, the EQ level or the emotional intelligence is decreasing because of which the children are having a hard time to adapt and adjust to others as normal human beings!

As Kalyani has quote,
EQ is emotional Intelligence which is decreasing in the present generation though their IQ is increasing. That's why new generation is not able to withstand even small difficulties in life.

High IQ is desirable but it has to be coupled with equal degrees of emotional intelligence, without which a person may become mechanical without human attributes such as warmth and caring for others and others' problems!

yes children today are more smarter than we used to be.....they are more adaptive and more inquisitive than we used to be......

In present generation children have very good IQ. They grasp things with in a seconds. They are more intellegent

[quote]Is IQ level of a child born now more than a child born 15-20 years back? If so, isn't it a positive sign that the world is more developing in its culture and civilization?

I think you are right. Before 15 or 20 years back we did not get T.v. or Mobile or pc, now after birth a child see or get all these things.[/quote]

yes ...you are right.
Easy access of mobiles and computers have made kids more intelligent.

Intelligence Quotient level definitely increase generation to generation.

Yes....I agree...
I am sure, our kid is more intelligent than we two. sometimes, I feel surprised seeing her actions and thinking.

change is the only word that doesn't change. As per Darwins Theory we are come from one cell.

one cell - plant - animal - man

Now there is no other change is possible. So intelligent level is increasing its higher level.
