> the IQ for being a soldier is between 84 and 90
I am extremely skeptical. As a judge advocate, I see the personnel files of every accused service member and the majority of witnesses in any given case that comes through my office. While IQ tests are not routinely given, the GT score (a rough proxy derived from the ASVAB/AFQT) is in every personnel file. I have seen an 84 once and below-84 once.

While it is not perfect, it provides the explanation for the minimum values. There is no legal max.
- torstenvl 5y agoYour post was in response to "soldiers are not fools," so we are talking about the general population, not the legal minimum. Additionally, "NCOs and officers" are soldiers (or sailors, or airmen, or Marines) as well, so you cannot exclude them. Lastly, one cannot generally be an NCO without first being junior enlisted.
