Organizational Behavior Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report examines the evidence suggesting children now are getting more intelligent by looking at the possibility of other explanatory factors such as improved nutrition, children 's maturity and family dynamics, and argues against the impression that they are getting more intelligent by looking more clearly about the Flynn effect which emphasizes the fact that average Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores have risen over generations.
THEORY REVIEW
As you know, the activities are done by the intellectual abilities, which influence an employee’s level of performance. So what are the intellectual abilities? It’s the capacity to do mental activities, such as thinking, reasoning, and problem solving. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) tests, for example, are designed to ascertain a person’s general intellectual abilities. We will understand more about it in the next section “Case incident”. However, we should understand about “Flynn effect” and why it is mentioned in case incident & this chapter. The Flynn effect is the name given to a substantial and long-sustained increase in intelligence test scores measured in many parts of the world.
CASE SUMMARY
Some main ideas of case incident are generated such as: - A Substantial amount of intellectual ability is inherited. - The IQ score increase 3 point per 10 years. - James Flynn is a New Zealand researcher who found that IQ test results was be in 1940s better than 1970s in the across culture tested. - Some explanations of the Flynn Effect are education, smaller families, test-taking savvy and genes.

Question 1: Do you believe that people are really getting smarter? Why or why not? In our opinion, we believe that people nowadays are not getting smarter, they just moving faster, they acquire knowledge at a much faster pace than people before. The reason for that faster learning is because of other stimulations: First, the advancement of IT has raised
