How smart do you have to be?

In Denmark, we have mandatory military service. At the draft office, they tested us with a whole battery of IQ tests.

Apparently, I did really well, and they told me I had the highest score of that day. That wanted to draft me.

I didn't want to be drafted though, so I put my new IQ score to work figuring out a way to dodge it. Turns out I had some very rare heart condition that took a long time to get proven and diagnosed, but once I had the paper from the doctor, the draft office discarded me. I then got the heart condition treated, and hey presto, a free man.

When I told my brother about that story, he said "I just ticked random boxes in the test and they discarded me, too".

i acknowledged that, but it terms of an intellectual conversation it holds little weight in the grand scheme of debate. To reference someone's EQ in an academic discussion would be somewhat silly, unless the discussion was specifically EQ. At least i think so anyway

Yeah, I think they got you down as too high, mismeasured you or transposed it from 103, so yeah, it's bullshit alright....

So how smart do you have to be to be cannon fodder...

You need a 30 total score on the ASVAB to be an infantryman
