There are only two general IQ tests and it is not clear if they are like what we would see if we went in to actually take a test.The fourth problem is that his verbal analogies testwell, I am not sure how much of a basis it had in reality. His memoirs are a reaction to the false sugar coating that had been taking place during the previous 25 years.Patry began the war as a young naive lieutenant and finished it as battle hardened captain. The style is simple and direct. Can't wait to read more from this author.. Her books are always so good they leave you wanting more. the book is well written.
