They really carry out research and studies on things like this -- whether firstborn sons have higher IQs than their younger brothers.
This is interesting.
The study also found that in many circumstances, men who have been raised as the eldest (even if they are not) have IQs to match their firstborn peers.
Interesting.
The study was conducted by Petter Kristensen and his colleagues at the University of Oslo. The findings were reported in the journals, Science and Intelligence.
I have never thought about it. I have met many firstborn men or men who are regarded as the eldest in their families.
But what is a "higher IQ"? If it is higher than a low IQ, it ain't a big deal, man. My IQ could be higher than firstborn men.
It must be pointed out here that the study was carried out in Norway and based on Norwegian firstborn men.
Oh, I know their men are - - - different.
Interested to know more. Here it is.

"Why are people so obsessed with IQ scores?"
This question is always asked by people who don't score very highly (and is my question today). :D
I am curious too - What is a higher IQ? They probably cannot define it because every firstborn will have a different score.
So, you are right... your IQ could be higher than any of those firstborn men in that study. :D
Hi JT,
yeah, you've got it, JT, Just numbers. Some big, some small.
And I am pretty sure, some of these firstborn males have got small numbers... low IQ.
cheers
