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?

I only noticed one solution for any of the maths ones, and I didn't use a calculator. I did give up on the first one though :)

The images were incredibly badly drawn, and the text of the accompanying question(s) was absymally worded, yes.

Initially got 23, but with a bit of fiddling with the spacial awareness ones finally managed to get it up to 25. As people have said, terrible drawings. Well, that's my excuse nayway.
