Crantor, Uh, why are you upset?  I think the problem here is, people are automatically reading everything I say right off the bat with hostility.  They don't stop to consider that I'm merely having a frank discussion.  I'm not arguing at all and I'm certainly not upset.  Stop being so...

You're comparing the CF to the Chinese Military.  A military with over thousand year history/experience, technological advancement (gunpowder) and an acknowledged super-power.  Come out of la la land.  This will enable you to gauge your potential enemies with realistic estimations.  This is a...

(FTFY)  ;) Well for starters, they have nukes. I did not get a positive impression I expected from valiant 'representatives' of our Armed Services on this forum. I've prepared to sign my life so I can do my part to protect what I consider home by going Reg Force. I have real world -military-...

SER, Anonymous or not.  Some anonymous members who frequent and participate here regularly, may value the integrity of their handle, that they may have been using for years, that it becomes their name/identity. You don't understand the relationship between the word Aptitude and Potential...

Thanks Crantor for your experiential insight. You are right.  When I was young kid (a long time ago), the recruiters told me exactly what you did, except online-IQ tests and forums/topics like these were not as prevalent then.  He said the CFAT was nothing to worry about, here's a pamphlet with...

Once a person has attained higher education, particularly graduate-level degrees, there is no doubt it would influence their subjective experience.  A person who becomes accustomed to solving half-page questions in Thermodynamics for years, will perceive a one-liner math question in a different...

It amazes me to see how many intelligent people here understand very little about subjective experience/reality. What may seem easy to - you - may not seem easy to somebody else. I've been informed that some people here have phD's, MSc's and MA's.  Intriguing, they somehow believe their...

- To understand what abilities are required to do X-trade. - To determine, in advance, the type of subjects a student should focus on in high-school if they wish to do X-trade. - To determine, in advance, the type of subjects/programs a student should pursue in College and/or University (if...

Well done X2012, As stated in my original post, there are plenty of random variables - but these could be resolved. I did not draw a conclusion but instead demonstrated an example that shows a possible methodology for how a raw IQ score could be correlated to the CFAT.  No doubt - Accuracy...

Some of you guys are actually funny - seriously. But I assure you, I don't sound like Spock, Yoda or Sheldon. Well I hope.

Second-language training?  The Forces should invest in English-language training - first.  God-forbid that the Taliban may speak better English. TurretMonster, I was concerned that I'm attracting a mob of people whu speek lyk dis, b-cuz itz iz tha way 2 b kool and acceptud and i shuld cunform...

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?

To aid your imagination whilst narrating my posts in your head. I have a deep-voice, concatenate that to the imagery of Sheldon constructed in your visualization. Enjoy.

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...

George: A balance of both, depending on rank and duties.

Actually - forget it. I just deleted my post, that explained in detail the variations between Officer CFAT scores and their side-effects to a person's application. What's the point?  Here I am, trying to explain to strangers and quite possibly my competition on how they may perform...

Silly me, for introducing a topic on IQ.  I forgot that the nature of the bell-curve dictates that I am completely outnumbered. I apologize if I hurt some feelings.  It was my sincere intention to use a psychometric as a device to - predict - success on another psychometric such as the CFAT...

Toward the Gap: If you don't like the topic - you don't have to read it.  Like in the real world, if you don't like what somebody is saying - you can ignore it.  Unless of course, you are a jack-*** that has an uncontrollable compulsion and must add his two cents where not required - nor...

Well, I understand that IQ is a controversial topic.  I'm also aware that most people don't want to acknowledge the existence of cognitive differences, whilst in the same breath have no problem discussing height differences/requirements.  Of which, both are fundamentally physical manifestations...

LOL! No discussion about CFAT details nor has this topic ever been discussed - based on my usage of the search function.
