Are you more educated than a WW1 Soldier?

[Deleted]

This is part of the aptitude for the US Army during WW1, people with high scores and good reports during basic training were often invited to train to become Officers, how do you compare to people 100 years ago?

Also rocks can be soft.

It's a test of literacy, not intelligence, which made sense in that time period, when a high status country wasn't yet expected to have 99% literacy.

I'll admit, I had to guess the last question's answer. I guessed the meaning of precipitancy more or less correctly.
