[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5864338, member: 463"] I suspect you may have a particular concentration problem that affects both your information absorption and your IQ testing. Although I understand that these days the US military IQ test (AFQT) is pretty good at extracting the effects of attention deficit disorders when testing. They test millions of people with a median IQ around 104; systems that work for top-quartile IQs may not work well for bottom-quartile, and they deal with both - they don't normally accept bottom-quartile applicants except when there's a recruitment crisis, as during the height of the Iraq war ca 2004-2006. You certainly seem highly literate, much better than that of many of my undergrad students whose IQs I'd expect to be mostly in the 105-115 range. Although I appreciate that UK secondary education is mostly really really bad, most Americans get a much better education. Actually, most of the Nigerians I meet seem to get a much better education, too. [/QUOTE]
