Do non-g gains from the Flynn effect matter? Yes and no

The Flynn effect is raising IQ without raising general intelligence. IQ scores from different eras measure different combinations of mental abilities.This is why comparing older generations’ IQs with later generations’ IQs produces nonsensical results.

Some quotations from J. Philippe Rushton & Arthur R. Jensen, 2010 (the pdf is available online on other sites):
“In an analysis of mathematics and reading scores from tests such as the NAEP and Coleman Report over the last 54 years, we show that there has been no narrowing of the gap in either IQ scores or in educational achievement. From 1954 to 2008, Black 17-year-olds have consistently scored at about the level of White 14-year-olds, yielding IQ equivalents of 85 for 1954, 82 for 1965, 70 for 1975, and 81 for 2008. We conclude that predictions about the Black–White IQ gap narrowing as a result of the secular rise are unsupported.”
“Coleman et al. (1966) did find, however, that Black students who attended middle-class majority White schools achieved higher than other Blacks.“
“Predictions about the Black–White IQ gap narrowing due to the secular rise is based on faith rather than evidence. There is no more reason to expect Black–White differences in IQ to narrow as a result of the secular rise in IQ than to expect male– female differences in height to narrow as a result of the secular rise in height.”
