About the male protagonist's IQ before taking the blue pill and the calculation of its efficacy

1. Calculation of the original IQ of the male protagonist In the

play, the male protagonist shows the female protagonist his photos when he was a soldier. In the US military, there are two conditions for joining the military,
a) high school graduation
b) passing the IQ test.
The male protagonist claimed to have added 12 points to reach the minimum standard for enlistment. So what is the minimum standard?
During World War II, the U.S. military suffered a lot for training soldiers with low IQs. Finally, Congress passed a bill prohibiting the recruitment of people with an IQ below 80 (the dumbest 10% of the population) to join the army.
So the original IQ of the male protagonist is 80-12=68.

Linda A. Gottfredson provides a powerful summary of half a century of American research on the relationship between IQ and occupational performance.
The conclusions are as follows:
5% of people with the highest IQ (higher than 125 points) can basically be self-taught and competent in all occupations.
People with IQs between 90 and 110 make up half of the population and are not competitive in high-level jobs, but can be trained to be competent ordinary workers.
An IQ of 75 points is an important entry threshold for modern society. About 5% of the population has an IQ below this line, they have only half the chance of completing primary school courses, and it is difficult to train to be competent laborers.

An IQ below 80 is commonly known as a fool.
An IQ lower than 75 is outright mentally handicapped.

Considering that the original IQ of the male protagonist is only 68, how much hardship must be paid for a mentally handicapped teenager to obtain a high school diploma.

2. Calculate the efficacy of the blue pill.
In the first three films of The Bourne Bound, Bourne often thinks about philosophical issues. The agents play philosophy, either they are full or a genius; at the same time, they often fall into a state of trance and amnesia. Since there is only a thin line between genius and mentally ill, it can be judged that Burn has entered the category of genius after being injected with the vaccine. The boundary between a genius and a smart person is 140, and those with an IQ greater than 140 are geniuses, accounting for only 0.5% of the total population.
Bourne's original IQ is unknown. If the median is 100, the IQ has increased by 40+, or more than 40%, after taking the drug, and there are sequelae such as mental problems.

After taking the medicine, the male protagonist of the four spies escaped successfully and successfully helped the female protagonist to escape. He has clear logic, clear thinking, and can adapt to changes. His IQ is higher than that of ordinary people, that is, >110.
It is calculated that his IQ has increased by 42+, or more than 61.7%, after taking the medicine, and there are no obvious side effects after the injection.

To sum up, the blue pill or vaccine can increase the IQ of 40+, and at the same time, it can increase by a certain percentage according to the original IQ of the subjects. Long-term oral medication has no obvious side effects. After stopping the medication, it rebounds sharply, and the IQ declines to less than before the medication. Vaccine injection has no obvious toxic and side effects on people with lower original IQ, while people with higher original IQ may show mental disorders such as trance and amnesia. You know why the female doctor didn't give herself an injection! ! !
