Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his “fanboys” who have attempted to use the billionaire’s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
IQ tests went out of fashion mid 80-ties and they were only ever required in the very very top universities! There is no military academy in the world where you would have been asked for one!
140 is not a good a score! 140 is fucking legendary!!! Which would have been again explained to you if you ever achieved that, which again you would remember since its the equivalent of winning an olympic! But you don’t have a singular fucking clue what a 140 means on an IQ test… How very curious…
Ones military service starts at the end of their training, then you will be required to put your oaths down! Your bulshitting couldn’t even be chalked up as a semblance of protecting your anonymity! Graduation lists of military establishments are not public and even if they were there are 70-200-ish cadets in every year!
And soldiers can and do talk constantly about their service (ps thats how you can spot valor stealers on the internet, ppl like you :))! They are not allowed to talk of restricted info and missions! If you were a career secret sevice agent, you would not talk about being a soldier on the internet!
Another thing that makes absolutely no sense are the refresher courses and is a quite stupid attempt of weaseling out of the question! Most manuals were written in the 60-ties and have yet to be updated! And if you received new equipment you would not be sent back to uni! You would be taken to a field to practice with it!
Now tell me! Does your minsicular penis feel larger for lying and pretending to be a big man on the internet?
Be civil, please. And ditch the body-shaming.
Omgomgomgomg might have hurt the fucks feeling that steals honor
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 department’s 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 soldier’s 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 can’t 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 didn’t 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!
You’re 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, it’s pretty pathetic. You just didn’t 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 “officers” or “reserve officers”. 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.
I do am getting tired of you
You have edited your first comment 3 different times as you have edited almost all your other comments! Do you think ppl are not going to look it up if that nono you didn’t?
You did and I hope everyone looks up your edit history
I am suuure they do, pray tell what fabled country that might be?
You referred to ‘my country’ how many times now? Can you maybe, just maybe your the name of your country as a synonym for once? You can change it postumus if you walk yourself into another corner!
No edits have been made and you know it.
Just admit you made a mistake and we’ll laugh this off.
Aaaand you stop adressing it! And since I do lots of things I might not even notice it! With how many things did you get away like this?
What is your country?
