What's crazy is the guy only had an IQ of roughly 125, and the rest of the article further indicates this organization wasn't weeding out the exceptional (as one might assume), but was actually putting a ban on ALL smart people. That is just insanity.
This always seems so ridiculous.

It's easy to bar an individual whose IQ is too low, but it's a trivial matter to fake having a lower IQ than you really do.

Obviously no recompense for the plaintiff in this case, but now that the cat's out of the bag ... if you really want a job that only wants to recruit idiots, you know how to get it.

That link returns 404.
