For anyone that does not know exactly what Tyler does, a CBRN Defense Specialist is someone that specializes in defending against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. The average Marine (those with the jarhead tenacity Marines are known for) will not qualify for that position. Tyler is a very intelligent Marine, and the others underestimate him.

While it does require a lot of knowledge it is more focused on adaptability and flexibility thinking so less about book smarts more on completion of the mission or goal I don't know if younger people have a new term but real world experience or street smarts. The books may say to do something one way he would have a simpler and probably better way to accomplish the task. Mainly from hands-on experience and listening to those who actually do the jobs instead of those who teach the jobs. When I took the ASVAB got a high score on everything except the automotive part mainly because I never learned what the tools were called never was into automotive more computers and while I was taught to break into and hotwire vehicles by my father but ask me to change a tire and I couldn't do it until I was in my thirties. I don't question my intelligence as I started freshman college at 15. But because of mental disabilities which did help in my intelligence my IQ probably sucks.

Quite hilarious that Maria can't stop bringing up EQ, the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict, yet can't nail a single facet of it. In fact, Tyler showcased his ability to do all of these things effectively. He was upbeat, took the negative with stride and saw the humor in it. He was direct and clear with his assessment of what intelligence is to him. He agreed that in their shoes he would probably view himself the same way, empathy.

He also diffused conflict by not taking his peer ranking personally inserting humor in a non antagonizing way. I am fairly sure he would SMOKE maria in an EQ score as well.

I went to college because I wanted to be an officer, but I didn't learn all that much more than I knew already. It was primarily a four year maturing process, but Vietnam matured me a lot faster than a four year college. I understood the civilian viewpoint ( I worked in the civilian world after retirement from the Marines and I owned my own business), but I was also very aware that those not having served in the military did not have the experience and education I did for getting through life; i.e., problem solving, leadership (I commanded artillery batteries and logistics companies of 200-300 people and was second in command of a motor transport battalion of 2,000), honor, integrity, civility, empathy and patriotism to the most wonderful country in the world, not to mention a sharpened amount of common sense. Many highly educated people have little to none of those qualities and are turned inward to their own selfish identity. It galls me that many of those who never served in the military, dislike the military so much. Freedom provides a flavor of life that those who have not contributed to it will never know.

This is somewhat of an uninformed take. When pursuing a graduate degree in STEM (specifically a PhD or Masters of Science), the general rule is that the student doesn't pay for courses. In addition, said student will most likely receive a stipend from their respective institution for teaching a course or performing research under a principal investigator. If an offer is made to a prospective graduate student where it is expected that they pay for courses, then it would typically be seen as a 'soft' rejection.

The Systemiser (Intelligence) and Empathiser (Emotions). Everyone has both but one is greater than the other. To what degree either puts you into more Autistic or more Neurotypical territory. Women are a lot rarer to be in a Systemiser group / autism spectrum that's why women tend to be more emotional and more diplomatic (i.e. crafty and manipulative) and more social.

I make over $30/hr and I get raises ever 1 yr to 1.5 years. The company liked me and my skills and I learned and grew, that's all. I've sat and spoken with people with College degrees and such and although I don't even care nor do I think I'm a better person than them, I can tell I was smarter than many and not smarter than others. What makes it even more odd to me, I'm just a black guy from a housing projects in New York, one of the first in my generation to even go to college, but I dropped out because it cost too much (Was a Straight A student, Deans list). My mother taught me from a young age to be practical and be scholarly but be good. She taught me school work before I even started school, which I started late at 8 years old. School does not matter, society has tried to force College into mattering and colleges want to seem prestigious because they want money. I rather be average intellectually but a morally upright and down to earth person than Mr or Ms. PHD and a snob.

She would be correct. I was in both the Navy and then after 9-11, the National Guard as an Intel Officer. Unlike the normal advancements in the military branches, rank advances in Intel are tighter and it can take you a bit longer to advance. This is simply because you need to be extremely proficient at your rate (job) and because the number of advanced officers needed for Intel is much lower. A soldier could transfer out of Intel and probably advance up the ranks much faster, but once you "get the intel bug", you simply can't walk away. The amount of knowledge you acquire regarding all the different classifications of secrecy is insane and since most of it will be classified forever during your lifetime, you can't even give a hint about what you know or you risk going to prison for the rest of your life or simply disappearing if your knowledge of classified materials is expansive. Keep in mind, there are 2 levels of "Classified" ABOVE the President of the United States. These are "need to know" ONLY. This is the kind of information that if the President needed to know and was "read" into this information, our Nation and possibly our planet are nearing destruction. I have a friend who recently retired after 20 years in the Air Force. He spent 2 years assigned to a base that is very popular among certain civilian groups who investigate UFOs. I have tried countless times to get him to tell me if there are any UFOs or dead aliens in the basement of the facility but he simply smiles and puts his sunglasses on. I have even tried the "pulse rate" trick on him but he, like many of us, was taught how to beat that test. It freaks my Doctor out when I can actually significantly change my pulse rate and blood pressure while sitting still in her office hooked up to her machines LOL. Don't be too impressed as it is simply nothing more than a "parlor trick" per se.

I feel like this is a good time to bring up the 8 types of intelligences we were talking about in class the other day. The only ones I can remember off the top of my head are Logical (math) Linguistics (literature) Spatial (Sense of distance and spacing) Musical (self explanatory) Kinesthetic (Movement. Everything from speed and flexibility, to coordination and balance and strength.) Interpersonal (effectively talking and impacting others with how you talk and body language and such. Social interactions) Naturalistic (Nature and such) *Intra*personal (Don’t get confused with interpersonal,) ((understanding yourself and your emotions. Feelings moods and goals)) It’s very obvious that they chose a lineup of people that have a really diverse set of intelligences. It’s seems that the main ones that I can see atleast are Logical and Linguistic Obviously the ones that are the most overpowering in this situation are the ones that are easy to identify verballly. Like linguistic and logical (The obvious and classic “Smart ones”) These are the ones that studying comes easier to. They are the ones that are (statistically and more likely) going to have a degree. People assume they are super smart because of this. And they are, just in a different way than others. However, it can also be teacher like every other type of intelligence. (Ex: learning an instrument with help, stretching daily for flexibility, learning about nature and geography) In contrast, things that don’t appear immediately (Kinesthetic, Musical, Naturalistic, spatial, ect) are harder to see in day to day life without specifically watching for it. These don’t appear in conversation as often as the previously mentioned ones. Here is an example: (Pick the one that sounds more impressive) I have a I.Q of 128 I am First Chair Flute In Advanced Orchestra I consistently get Chosen for advanced conventions at dance workshops and competitions I can paint a proportionate map of where I need to go in a place I have only seen pictures of. -- Most people Would say that the Iq is considered “more impressive” simply because more people understand what it means.

And it's the second or third time I've seen this spelling, so it seems to be spreading. "Could/Should/Would of", is another one that irks me, because I umderstand it sounds like that, but once you read the actual spelling, and knows it comes from 'Have', how could anyone write it like that, it's not even english at that point, other than that those words mean something, just not what you're actually trying to say. And I'm not even from an english speaking country myself, but it still gets to me, when I see bad english.

Right, I was a winger because I did well on the ASVAB and had a 100% choice in MOS. I chose aviation because fighter jets are cool af. The idea that marines are inherently retarded is so dumb. I was also in boot with a dude who scored a 99 or 100(I can't recall which one was this guy, but both in my boot platoon), anyway, he also had a complete choice and went 03 just like his two brothers. Dude was very intelligent. Just wanted to be a grunt like his grandad, dad, and brothers. Civilian disgust and disdain for th armed forced never ceases to amaze me. Specially morons like the PhD girl. Or scumbags I went to school with. Also I'm now an engineer...which is more than I can say for those who looked upon me active duty so poshly.

I love telling people about my husband dropping out of high school in Australia and moving to the US and starting a 6-figure carpentry business in less than two years. It’s way more impressive than some degree. The work ethic and drive is unbeatable

[@cperry7287]

agree completely. i was stupid and took time getting a psychology degree whilst my wife finished high school and has opened a fashion store and she makes wayy more then me. we also both got our IQ tested last year and hers was actually higher than mine. so strange how the world convinces you to spend years getting a degree you’ll never pay off when simply started your own buisness will get you way more money. congrats on your husband i wish i made smart decisons like him 😂

[@MrTmax74]

Which is why he's your top percentile man. 💪✌️

[@alext3811]

You can't teach drive and work ethic. That's separate from education. Even in tech, sometimes there are people that are innately talented. John Carmack and John Romero (iD Software), Steve Wozinak and Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds (I don't believe any of them have a degree).

[@liahfox5840]

They gave EQ as much credit as IQ, which makes Maria's intelligence even worse according to "herself!" Overall Tyler seems like the strongest of them. If I had an organization that needed this group of people as a team, I would make Tyler the boss in a heart beat!

[@anonymousbrowsing2909]

I’d make Tyler and the Asian guy co captains .

EQ is delusional woowoo nonsense. IQ is the measure of your ability to process new information. That already includes emotional information. Don't be out here pretending astrology is real.

this was so funny to watch, ill be honest iv never seen your videos so 4.27M subs kudos to that! didnt really watch the ranking part was more amused by your reactions lol. but rite from the start i knew tyler was going to score high. RIP Maria

[@breakerd1]

I’m surprised that these students did not realize, even after taking the IQ test, that education level has little to nothing to do with your IQ.

[@solaris2886]

Except the asian guy who ranked first, he proved his IQ and education correlated. Considering that Ivy League schools penalize Asians, you know he got in by pure effort.

[@OneTruePhreak]

IQ is the ability to learn. A degree is based upon your ability to repeat the stupidity of your professors. An absolute moron can earn a degree.

[@southernparadise9896]

You encounter these people daily online. How many times do you hear “you didn’t go to college so your opinion doesn’t matter”? How many times have I myself heard, “you’re from the south so you must be a dumb hick”. I can go through a 2 day debate on a subject where my opinion is discounted, made fun of, and dismissed because of my locale. They get real quiet when I drop the bomb that I actually do have a degree. But I don’t include that info in my debates because it shouldn’t be a factor at all.

[@KillerAceUSAF]

Yeah, but at least in the military, its a sign of love and respect and not actually meant.

[@TheVosack]

Exactly. We all went through way worse than judgmental people.

[@Allin1Xavi]

The military is so under appreciated when the mainstream still thinks academia is the most superior form of learning. I don’t know much about the military, but I know enough about what my dad told me as part of infantry. From what he told me, his role required a whole amount of critical thinking, analytical skills, leadership skills, and very quick adaptability that far surpasses what the average civilian is required to do. If anything, I think the military holds some of the most intelligent people you can ever meet .

[@loganblackwood2922]

​@@Allin1XaviSince academia is largely comprised of women and women occupy the median range in the bell curve distribution of intelligence, academia has become midwit central. Genuine genius, (outlier high IQ range) would likely be booted out for some modern liberal college social faux pas.

[@briceking669]

I’m a high school drop out that tested into military intelligence (signals analyst/counter terrorism and also became a search and rescue swimmer). I did poorly in school because of poor social skills but the military helped me start over and get out of my shell. I’m now 42, run several businesses, employ 8 people (some with fancy degrees) a millionaire (and on track to be a multi millionaire by 43). I feel bad for people holding up their degrees thinking it makes them smart. I’m not saying college is bad but it’s not going to suddenly make you intelligent.

[@JoelWright-e7m]

You employee 8 people?

[@Cofffeeeboy]

god i love Tyler. "i know what im about, and im sure of that" just to prove them wrong at the end

[@khangpham9961]

a high-school buddy of mine was ranked #2 in our class of ~500. he joined the military because that’s what he truly wanted to do. the different paths we take in life are independent of any forms of our intelligence

[@requiemheidireprisal7824]

@khangham9961 I've come across so many former military members who regret their service. They see it as, ''if I knew my government was going to do _, or if I knew Afghanistan was going to turn out this way, man I wasted my whole life for this'', kind of sentiments. I just find it strange how something someone truly wanted to do, ended up here.

[@ryankinschl6813]

[@TwilightMysts]

@@requiemheidireprisal7824 I think the conflict comes in because people want to serve and protect their country, but the choices of the politicians don't always align with the goals and ideals of the country. For example, someone may enlist wanting to stop terrorists, and end up teaching in Ukraine. Or they sign up to secure the southern border but end up killing kids in Gaza. But this isn't just limited to the military. A lot of college grads end up doing jobs completely separate from their major, and even when you get a job in the general field you want, the exact work may still be different from what you want to do.

A fancy degree on your wall in a frame doesn't make you smart. What you DO makes you smart.

[@mikes6973]

I was a rotorhead back when I was in. I sent parts to the NDT shop while working in the engine shop, and finally earned my wings (one of the last home grown crew chiefs) after returning to the States. 20 years later, I was hired on by a company to do NDT. One does not necessarily need an engineering degree to do that kind of testing, but an understanding of what you are seeing. No book can teach you more than the basics. The codes one inspects to tells you what to look for if something isn't correct, and having the correct mindset for such work is better than just being book smart on the subject.

[@dontsuck]

No such thing as a "former" Marine, Marine. But your comment is...... Motivational. Semper Fi

[@jasongajentan643]

Semper Fi brother. I googled how to write software and earned ownership in the company for which I wrote that software. Now own 3 businesses. No college.. just a couple trade schools and spend all of my spare time learning new things. lol nowadays I don't touch code if I can help it.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

Being self-taught is admirable; however a CS degree is worth something too, you have learned how, you've not learned why the how came to be.

[@LaydeeCrombie]

As someone whose father is completely deaf since the age of 2 years old and never had an education in his life, he is one of the most intelligent people I know. He can build a house and work on a car without knowing how to read or write. Education doesn't have to have anything to do with intelligence.

[@donutbevil9669]

Back when the majority of people couldn't even read a lick of written text were still able to maintain a society pretty good. They could at least count in order to take stock of wares, profit and other essentials. Basically, someone isn't stupid for lack of education. Stupidity is inherent.

[@twischta]

Education, which a lot of people mistake for intelligence, can be accumulated by everyone given the right circumstances. Intelligence is something you either have or haven't.

I worked in a lab with a guy who had gone to cal tech and MIT. He was a complete and utter moron. We also hired a few guys from the military and they were super capable and instantly able to handle anything we threw at them.
