this is a british site so convert your salary into pounds....

So you think you're smart? Too smart for your salary? Then prove it.

Three hundred people across the UK completed this IQ test in 10 minutes under test conditions and provided details of their salary and management levels. From this information, the Guardian has programmed the world's first ever IQ/salary index.

Are you too smart for your salary? Live up to your boast; take the test, plug in your salary and find out how high - or low - your cash/cleverness coefficient is.

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is your employers are paying you exactly the right amount for someone of your IQ. The good news is: they don't know that, do they?

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



Hmm, now I'm curious which 5 I got wrong...

something wrong here?!?!?
 
I got 19 right, but I don't think my coefficient of 500 is correct. There is no option for student in the management level, so I just picked unskilled. Think that's what did it.
 
21 out of 25... I had trouble with last question on every page. Cash salary rating of 8. Does this mean i should make 8 times more than what I'm making now?

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.

Of course you don't need a high IQ to understand that asking for a raise "because I'm smarter than my salary" is idiotic. You pretty much have to go with-
1. I have an offer from another company that will pay me X. Match X or I'm out of here.
2. The product of my work nets you (the empoyer) $XXk additional annual profit. Give me a bigger cut or watch that profit go away.
3. It will cost you X to hire a new employee to do my job. Save yourself the trouble and pay me X.
... and so forth.

well i am damn sure i got those all right, so i think the test must have some questions with ambiguous answers

Well, you certainly have the experts confused. You're not the brightest spark, in fact your test results put you in "plank of wood" school of intellect. However, you've managed to persuade someone to pay you massively over the odds, so you can't be all that dumb. Can you?

Shoot, 6 right??? How did that happen???

Going to school, for what reason, I dont know either, in the meantime it seems I am too smart to work part time at a deli. I agree! I am getting on at a gas station third shift soon. w00t!
 
They should have factored in age too. People make more money as they get older even though they don't get smarter.

It's to bad the being smart with numbers and pictures really has nothing to do with how well you perform at your job, or how valuable you are at your company.😉

Apparently guessing does not work well. Though I probably deserve bonus points for going so fast.

I was surprised seeing as I can't do sequences that I did so well.

Pity the coefficient stuff is just crap. All jobs have different requirements, and IQ is not the best indicator of intelligence.
