You need to move beyond one standard deviation to notice a slight difference between two people. 2 standard deviations is (easily) noticeable.

Now, a couple more questions for you:

1. How large is one standard deviation on the IQ scale in absolute numbers, assuming a 200 point scale with a 100 point average?

2. Lynn's map includes several countries with an IQ average of 70 or below. How many people in the world have an IQ of 70 and below?

Been a while since I used one of these baby's, I forgot how substitution works, so I just say that I can't answer it.

I would say we take the third generation who are on a level playing field, and see how they do (poorly).
