I'm not entirely sure what is so upsetting here...although I can see how, perhaps, some aspects of the post came across as a little pretentious? I personally don't feel that's how the OP intended to sound, however.

I truly detest the use of the word moreover to start a sentence.
Most normal folks think those who start a sentence with the word moreover are, in all probability, a high fallutin butthead.
You may wish to find somewhere else to discuss your IQ and how it correlates to stuff.
And hey Sheldon, can ya leave Penny here with the guys please?

xtreme, thank you for your unsolicited advice from the extreme tail of the bell curve. You are clearly a superior IQ, and as you have pointed out most of the respondents to your post fail to appreciate your intellectual and academic talents.xtreme said:

lol, yes, us "lower curvesmen" indeed need to be enlightened from time to time, I suppose...
Let me clarify the things I can't do.
1. I can't be the guy who can lift two soldiers on each shoulder and carry them out of a battlefield.
2. I can't be the guy who runs the fastest through a line of fire to accomplish a short-term objective.
3. It is unlikely, I could be the guy who will have the stamina to run into a burning building and carry out a number of people.
I acknowledge that I am not the strongest nor the fastest person, traits that are incredibly important. My "strong-Q" and/or my "speed-Q" are likely to be only average. This fact is accepted and this knowledge can be used to confidently rely on others who possess the appropriate talents to make up for what I don't possess. Nobody is perfect. A good team will identify strengths and weaknesses of the group and delegate tasks accordingly.
I am a proficient problem-solver and voracious learner, theoretically or practically. Just as good with a wrench as with a pencil.
It appears that, some people become acutely sensitive to the topic of differences in cognitive ability. Like physical differences, there - are - very real mental differences. I am not talking about education. Educated people may be smart - but not all smart people are educated - often for a variety of legitimate reasons. This is why the CFAT should be - praised.
This IQ that has some panties in a knot, may prove useful when a MacGyver (/Sheldon)/strategist is required under intense fire.
Some have recognized this topic was not intended to subjugate the self-confidence of any person, but instead to further dissect the CFAT without reiterating content already previously discussed - for the objective of helping test-takers better understand their - own - abilities when researching a trade and preparing to qualify for that trade accurately and scientifically.

I usually try to avoid Recruiting threads. Why didn't anyone tell my just how much self-proclaimed awesomeness I've been missing?!
Journeyman,

I'm assuming that in your subjective perception - this word is valued at $20?
I apologize that I'm not consciously aware that I do this nor do I understand why this is somehow negatively perceived.
I am speaking English after-all?

Absolutely. And you keep at it; I'm having a blast. :nod:xtreme said:
There's a quote from Airman First-class Adrian Cronauer to Sergeant-Major Dickerson that just escapes me, but I'm sure it's fitting.

Well Sheldon, can't say as I have ever used these words on a forum when discussing a topic among "friends" and co-workers.
I would really enjoying watching you attempt a 'MacGyver' in a tough, but not life threatening, situation. Please leave Penny at home when you try it though....
Edit: Holy smokes!!! And [size=18pt]concatenate[/size] is a real word too!!!! This guy is ready for staff college.
Second-language training? The Forces should invest in English-language training - first. God-forbid that the Taliban may speak better English.

It is unwise to underestimate people you don't know.
