Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Flynn effect suggests that IQ scores increase over time, so it is likely that the fourth generation of McClendons would score the highest on a standard IQ test as they have been exposed to more modern education and technology. However, this does not mean that the first generation would score the lowest, as they may have other forms of knowledge and skills that are not measured by IQ tests. It is also possible that the second and third generations would score similarly, depending on the specific circumstances of the family.
