Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
You are quick to leap to wild conclusions.
The army test is taken by every conscript at the beginning of the mandatory military service. It is an aptitude/IQ test which had a lot of similiarities with the Mensa type test I took later. You need a high enough score to get into NCO or officer training. The ones who graduate from the officer training may apply to the military academy after their mandatory service is over.
And like I clearly wrote in my original comment, the test I took later was a Mensa type test, using similar questions. It was a part of cognitive science or psychology departmentās student thesis, not a Mensa test. I majored in educational psychology, so I do have some understanding of what IQ tests are. I got a high score in one and it resulted in absolutely nothing in my life.
I have not claimed to be a career officer. I am a reserve officer, I did not wish to apply to the military academy, therefore the refresher courses. And even if my soldierās oath would not prevent me from discussing service matters with aggressive strangers on the Internet, my common sense would.
You are indeed a peculiar one. On my first comment I tried to validate the very point you made of IQ tests being poor indicators of true intelligence by sharing a personal experience (even though I know the fallacy of empiric experiences) on the matter. Yet you vehemently attacked my statement and accuse me of lying.
Lastly, your opinion of me is irrelevant, only the truth is relevant. One would gain nothing from lying to strangers. Perhaps practising some restraint on your part would result in more fruitful and pleasant dialogue in the future?
You just canāt stop lying, can you?
An ASVAB is not an IQ test, which you would know if you took one; which you would especially know if you just happened to specialize an unnamed (very very convincing) next to IQ tests!
So you didnāt take it get into uni, huh?
If you were ever a soldier, or even if you ever a conscript you would not refer to yourself as an officer! Your contract would state that you may refer to yourself as one without rank, as you are part of the fucking reserve!
Aaand you found the edit button! You know your edit history is publicly available?
But you still refused to answer me! Does your miniscular penis for lying on the internet!
Youāre getting quite incoherent.
I have edited nothing, so it matters not if the edit history is publicly available or not. If this is your attempt to discredit me, itās pretty pathetic. You just didnāt bother to read what I had written, right?
Our universities do not use IQ tests to select students nor have I claimed that they did. This is your own mental fabrication.
Depending of the situation, in my country we DO refer to ourselves as āofficersā or āreserve officersā. Spesific rank is used in the garrisons and drills or when an individual is interviewed by the media. In the refresher drills the reserve officer ranks are equal to career officer ranks.
I understand that this all may be new and confusing information to you, but some things can be done very differently in different countries.
