-mind you, after all of the above, I'm not suggesting that such tests, even this one, are utterly -useless-...I;m acknowledging, as has long been acknowledged, that this test (and tests like it) may not be measuring what they purport to measure, either in part or in full. Which is a hell of a problem for any conclusions or elaborations based upon their results. The reason it;s online now, in the first place, is that they hope...with a large enough data set, they can eliminate the known vectors of error, and possibly eliminate as yet undiscovered vectors of error - but the very act of formatting it for the internets introduces yet another vector. Creating an objection to methodology on top of previously existing fundamental objections. Further muddying what is already brackish water.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
