I recently came across this fact,
"All US Army field manuals are written at a fourth grade level."
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
it makes sense.. lol..
it reminds me of something i've heard.. those can't do.. teach.. those who can't teach.. teach pe..
i know it has nothing to do with the army.. but it was the first thing to come to my mind
it has nothing to do with intelligence...
I was in the Navy. 4th grade was about right.
When I was taking elementary education classes, a good friend used to tell me "Teachers - the more you educate them the dumber they get." Funny, he's now a teacher, while I'm working elsewhere now...
"Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym." -- Woody Allen, though I don't know if it's his line originally.
ahhh.. i heard it off my mate.. and said it to my teacher.. lol..
say it to your gym teacher.

Do you know your real IQ? Just wondering.
IMHO, any time someone tells you their IQ, you should completely discount it. I've had probably 100 people tell me their IQ in my adult years, and NOT ONE of them was less than 130. I don't think that the company I keep is THAT elite...
lol.. i go to a grammar school so most of the people have iqs of around 130, not many with anything less than 120, although most of the really dumb kids don't ever say their iq.. i wonder why.. lol..

I think it's smart to not say your IQ. Like not saying Voldemort.
Oh shit. I said it.
Hmmm -- I am screwing up the quoting. I must be a dumbass.
You're Dumbass? I really liked The Three Musketeers! Good work!
I thought CandyAss made Three Musketeers.

I can just barely remember reading thaat thread...
83% of people will try advice when given as long as it doesn't take more than 47 seconds to try it.
Only half of the given advice is actually true.
an IQ is a measure of how fast your brain can proccess information, and come up with an appropriate result. They do not measure intelligence, it was thought that Einstein's IQ was considerably low for his ability, but because he took his time to think, he came up with magnificant theories and equations.
In my opinion, intelligence can't be comparatively measured. Minds are like snowflakes.

Stupidity weighs more than knowledge.
There are lots of kinds of knowledge, but even more kinds of stupidity.
Your assertion carries no weight with me.
Glad to hear it, well, read.
didn't someone write on gullible something like the person who created the iq test only had an iq of 90..
Yeah, me! It was 94.
Wow. Look how off-topic we got by me asking one little question!
I believe that the IQ test measures your intelligence to a certain extent, but I don't think we can really measure it exactly, as Trance said.
ah well.. anybody know what army manuals actually say or is it like government protected or whatever??

They're heavier when wet and crunchy when cold?
Probably! lol
I just joined the National Guard, I am prior NAVY so I had to go to "WTC" or Warrior Transition Course, they told us that ALL (enlisted) US ARMY manuals were written at a 7th grade level and all Officer manuals were written at a 9th grade level.
I’m not sure what scares me more… that the military thinks it has a bunch of morons or that the education system in the US is that bad.
I wouldn't get your panties all in a bunch. The New York Times is written at a 9th grade level.
Actually, after some researching, the manuals are written at this level because it is incovenient to be reading an incredibly complex manual while under fire. I'm sure it's for the occasional moron too.

I found it incredibly disconcerting to see my buddy reading "Curious George" in the foxhole back in 'Nam.
