But now there are other questions on the Army Alpha test that are less like determining the number of blocks in a stack or what comes next in a pattern. And these types of questions are far more along the lines of the kind of questions you find on modern IQ tests.

Everyone wants to think of themselves as smart. It's human nature. And if you're convinced that certain tests are going to tell you how smart you are, you might just go ahead and take those tests to find out. In fact, I have a friend who was quite fond of dropping into conversations that he had a 145 IQ according to one of those online tests.

Yeah, and one day after having heard him drop the 145 brag into a conversation for like the 90th time, I said, you know what, I'm going to ask some follow-up questions. Turns out he had to take the exact same test eight times before he achieved this high score. And he was looking up answers in between tests.

The dude just likes to think of himself as smart, even if he doesn't realize that admitting you took the same IQ test eight times to get your score makes you sound not smart.

So I've been told. Okay, and look, the fact of the matter is your nerves are going to affect how you take the test. Your environment, your mood, all these things are going to factor in.

Yeah. And World War I, according to the movies I've seen, particularly brutal. Oof. And these Army Alpha and Alpha Beta tests devised by Yerkes, and Yerkes went off with the data from these Army tests.
