IQ to salary coefficient

[denny]

Interesting thing on the Guardian website... it asks you what your salary is, then does a quick and dirty IQ test, then it tells you whether you're over or under-paid...

My results:

You got 22 questions right out of a possible 25. This gives you a cash/cleverness coefficient of...
13
Wow. Your IQ is as far above the average for your salary level as the scale permits. What are you doing with your life?

Good fucking question. If there are no more good questions, class is dismissed for the day. ;)

I told it my salary details from my last job by the way, which was £30k pa. D'ya think I should email the results link to the guy at the Guardian who just turned me down for a £25k job? :)

Actually, to be honest, I'd be surprised if any of my friends scored under-paid or even close to it on this thing... isn't 120 a fairly low IQ for a geek?

Only the first page is numerical sequences - the second page is spacial orientation (using some fairly craply drawn pictures) and the third is pattern sequences, again using pictures.

Well, numbers make my brain ache (I guess in the same way that looking at disjointed strings of words/letters would do to a dyslexic), and my spatial awareness isn't too great either, so I suspect I'd score very low on that test, despite having a (tested) high IQ. Also, none of those skills have a lot to do with what I do for a living.
