I doubt it, most people in Athens were slaves, you do NOT want slaves to be smart or even literate

Nope

It's literally impossible to realistically quantify the intelligence of the average person from before the modern age. My guess is the average Athenian during the classical age was still a bumbling plebian slob who couldn't philosophize his way out of a paper bag.

Complete brainlet. Ancient slavery was much like modern employment. They would even pay slaves, and allow them to travel. Why? Increased productivity.

Slaves weren't considered people in Ancient Greece. They were considered property—hence the name chattel slavery. In some city states, you were even permitted to kill slaves without any punishment.

You think the average Athenian was writing dialogues and treaties on the level of Plato dumbfuck? No the average Athenian worked the ancient equivalent of their wage slave job then went home, drank some wine, maybe fucked their wife/twink slave and called it a day.

Heres the truth:
Your ability to practice the test and get a higher score is the actual application and expression of your genetic potential. Assuming two people used the same effort and one achieves 85 while the other achieves 100 it would thus follow that increases in effort on both sides would maintain the same 15 point gap.

400 IQ post.

modern people work to pay their bills, to provide residence, medicine, and food. slaves worked and received all of that for free. there's zero difference. slaves were also protected by law, had rights, and could petition legal defense from abuse.

just another example of how the modern IQ is in teh toilet, people think american movies about black slaves being whipped and beaten to death is what actual slavery was like. if you paid a ton of money for something, and needed it to sustain your livelihood, would you intentionally break it?

no?

i rest my case. people now are just fucked up, hyped up on emotional baiting by the media, whether that's books, news, movies, tv, music, or whatever else. they don't read primary sources and cannot rationalize anything for themselves, they merely regurgitate opinions they get from figures of perceived authority. modern man is an intellectual baboon with a twitter handle.

you can practice those retarded matrices test yeah, but matrices tests are not IQ. real IQ tests like the WAIS-IV are administered by trained professionals and cost hundreds of dollars to take. also, once you pass the WAIS, you have to wait a couple of years to take it again.
