OK I dug around and Alfred Binet’s intelligence, or IQ, test used
on enlisted men also included an assessment of mental age. I guess it
should have been "The average mental age of US enlisted men tested
during WW1 was that of a 12 year old".

That doesn't make a lot of sense either but ...

It doesn't, and modern tests are usually normed differently, although
the concept of "mental age" is still used sometimes for scoring.

In reality, a 25-year-old is no more intelligent than a 12-year-old.
The only differences are in experience and acquired knowledge,
although both obviously have quite an influence on overall competency
in life.


Which goes a long way towards explaining your bankruptcy and genral failur
at, well, everything
