Human's aren't robots in the fact that IQ does not correlate with an increased ability to perform tasks. What about work ethic? What about enjoying the niche your in? This has next to nothing to do with IQ outside the fact the someone with a higher IQ has a greater likelihood of figuring out that task faster than someone else who is passionate with a high work ethic but a significantly lower IQ.

I DO work for NASA/JPL, in part. I was a straight C student in highschool and studied Aerospace Engineering because I liked things that fly and go fast. That was it. I got a 28 on the ACT and have only been IQ tested once, in elementary school... and that was somewhere around 130. But it doesn't matter. What matters is passion and drive with a little bit of "pre-ordained" ability, so to speak.

You missed my point. It's not "about IQ"; I was comparing IQ and related "mental ability" with an eye to qualifying for a NASA/JPL job (kudos to you!!) to "athletic ability", in terms of qualifying for a job as a soldier.

The point was about comparing the mean to the exceptional, when discussing an exceptional job.

That's a shot of Capt. Kristen Griest and 1st Lt. Shaye Haver, when they were at West Point.

Rangers Lead the Way! Hoo-ah!!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
