The IQ Cult continues. An enormous amount of research into top performers. *No* evidence that an IQ of 130 would provide a measurable/significant increase in Navy SEAL performance.

Why are Special Forces so selective about ASVAB scores then? They just haven't read enough anti-IQ blogs yet?

Please show me the evidence that an IQ above 130 meaningfully predicts performance in the Navy SEALs, Geoffrey, as you imply.

Please show me the evidence that any additional data about IQ predicting real-world success would change your mind about the value of IQ.

Simon might have a point. Many great athletes are thick as two planks and I'm sure many would be great in the army

You want a guy who's thick as two planks telling you who to shoot? When innocent lives might be at stake? When your own life might be at stake? Good luck with that.

Just to clarify (and hopefully calm things), I'm reliably informed that SAS and SBS do NOT like high IQs, and prefer something lower as it impacts common sense & dependability. As I recall '130' & above was mentioned as too high. The military know how to ascertain ability & train
