An IQ test would suffice. However, intelligence is usually fairly
obvious.


And yet, even people of moderate intelligence can understand bernoulli

The average IQ of US enlisted men tested during WW1 was that of a12
year old.

IQ isn't really age related. though it is true that capacity increases with
age, the measurement is usually like/like otherwise it's kind of pointless.
So it would be fairer to say that they had a sub-normal IQ of say ,less
than 85 than to say they had the IQ of a 12 year old.
It'd be a bit like comparing the horsepower of a modern airplane to the
horsepower of a airplane from 75 years ago. In general, airplanes of 75
years ago had smaller engines, but you could b talking about a mustang.
IOW, you're not neccesarily comparing like with like.
