It’s also constantly changing and the way we study it is changing with new technology. Before exploring a career or topic, you feel like you’ve got it all figured out.

Certain people are automatically blacklisted from most tests (if they have a learning difficult for example) despite being very intelligent.

From the way Maria portraits herself I thought she maybe had a massive chip on her shoulder from the get go and might dress to look intelligent, act intelligent, try to speak intelligently, get a phd, tell people she is intelligent all because deep down she is not the most intelligent and she is trying to prove herself. Bragging comes from insecurity, no one that truly believes they are good at something has to tell people about it.

A 94 on the ASVAB test is actually really good. My senior year of high school, my school made us take it (even if you were not interested in joining the military) and I got a 92 on it. I genuinely didn't think anything of it bc I wasn't trying to join. Fast forward after graduation, I'm away at college and my mom keeps calling me to tell me that there are marine/army/navy recruiters at my door asking to speak with me 💀

[@Random-sk6hm]

The ASVAB is (like most tests) extremely flawed and doesn't really measure intelligence. Like all tests, it measures how well you take tests - not intelligence. Certain people are automatically blacklisted from most tests (if they have a learning difficulty for example) despite being very intelligent. I scored 95 and my friends also took it as a joke and all ranked above 90. Lots of people I've spoken to have said that it's not as difficult as people give it credit for.

I love how miss PhD goes on about how Tyler “didn’t take other people’s perspectives into account,” yet he was the only one not equating intelligence with collegiate prestige, and everyone else judged him for not having gone to college. Everyone else defined intelligence as the sum total of information you’ve crammed into your head, but his definition is one’s capacity to learn, which I find to be a much better definition of intelligence.
