Intelligence of Only Child
The only child tends to do better in intelligence tests than children from large families. This, states the British Medical Journal, emerges from/ large-scale tests made by psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, and statisticians. “There is a strong possibility that if present population trends continue Britain faces a progressive decline in the level of its national intelligence,” the journal asserts. “Children of the professional classes are found to be on the average (but only on the average)' more intelligent that the children of unskilled labourers.”
