@LukeAlmighty@LukeAlmighty this isn’t what the Polish sound like when they speak english, is it? Someone said this happened in Poland, but his English is remarkably clear.
@LukeAlmightyNot quite. In the US we take something called the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), which isn’t a straight IQ test, but has a lot of questions similar to what you would find on one, and your scores correlate heavily with IQ (correlation is about 0.8).
Score is given as a number between 1-99, the number being the percentage of takers that scored the same or lower than you. Minimum varies slightly between branches, lowest is the Army at 31, highest is the Air Force at 36, but roughly the bottom third of applicants get cut off. The ASVAB -> IQ conversion translates to something like 90-92.
So you can get guys that are below average, but not significantly below average. And most jobs have individual score requirements that are higher than the enlistment threshold, so double-digit guys are still uncommon in most positions.
