That one time the US military decided to lower standards. https://www.amazon.com/McNamaras-Folly-Low-IQ-Troops-Vietnam-ebook/dp/B0108H60MG …pic.twitter.com/ui6UoGXbHp

Do you know what the threshold was before and after the lowering?

Right, but then the Wiki article also says ppl "below IQ 80" were newly admitted. 30th is not IQ 80, I think.

10th centile is 80 IQ (in R, use `qnorm(.1, 100, 15)`). I don't think they admitted people under 80 because that's illegal. But maybe that was a later law. I haven't read the book yet. Apparently, military experience for them seems to make them worse off. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED366751

Right, 10th is 80, but the article is contradictory on this. Also, I find it hard to imagine the old rules excluded almost 1/3 of ppl
