Are you paid a salary commensurate with your IQ level?

Before you all rush to tell me how useless IQ tests are as an indicator of intelligence, I agree. Thought I would post this so that you can all have some fun...

By the way, I am as thick as the proverbial and it is a major achievement for me to be paid as highly as I am.

Have fun!

I read that report today too. I think the Guardian did it before a while back. Mine said that I wasn't being paid enough, but, before I could get too pleased with myself, I remembered I was on the dole... Very Happy

On a similar note, do any British/Irish remember the TV prog Test the Nation a year or two back? Highest IQ was recorded from a guy in Derry, NI, who was...on the dole.

Wow. Your IQ is as far above the average for your salary level as the scale permits. What are you doing with your life?"

It's official. Your IQ is significantly more powerful than the average for your salary bracket. Demand a pay rise while you still have your faculties.

15 out of 25 coefficient-10

Nice Huh?
