IQ tests only show how good you are at taking IQ tests.

Wow. You must have only got one question wrong, do you know which one it was?
I couldn't get the last 2 at all. The one with the letters completely stumped me.
The one with the letters was about symmetry. One row had letters that were symmetrical vertically and the other row laterally. H is the only letter that is both.
Ah, I was over thinking it and looking for sequences.

I did the test in about 5 minutes, giving myself a rough time limit

If I couldn't come up with the answer quickly, I went with "I don't Know"

Exactly. Fire from the hip. Someone comes up to you trying to rock your shit you don't have five minutes to look for sequences you have to act fast and put his dick in the dirt or you are going to get your shit pushed in.

Might not even be a fight, you don't have all day to make up your mind about what to do, in the stock markets

That was the first time I've taken one. I can see how you would get better with practice.

Think fast. Get your shit in gear or get left in the dust. Kill or be killed. You think the enemy is going to let you pull out a pen and paper? No. You got to pull out that pen and jam it through his throat.

It's like before I joined the infantry, I thought I was a smart kid, I was a know it all

Soon as I started getting beasted though, no sleep, getting pummeled with one thing after the next, I wasn't so smart after all.

Yeah, I was surprised that there was no time limit on the test. That's why I pointed out it had taken me over an hour. Most of that time was spent on only 3 or 4 questions, 2 of which I couldn't answer anyway.

It's not about who's the smartest in the room it's about who comes crawling out of it soaked in the rest of the room's blood.
