There seems to be a pattern with people's IQ and their profession. The average IQ for physicists and philosophers or even just someone with a PhD is like 135. The guy who cleans the toilet is very likely not going to be in that range. Clearly something to do with intelligence is being measured.

The reason I took the test is because when I was listening to the Howard Stern radio show, their crew was taking IQ tests, and I realized I hadn't ever taken one and had no idea where you would. I've cleaned a ton of toilets professionally in my life, even well into adulthood. Do I sound smart? Because I've been deemed in the top 2% of IQs.

Also, because I got a score in the 140s that means I can say that IQ is silly and that even its inventor didn't like the uses to which it was put, and you have to accept that. High-IQ privilege.

I also got into Mensa not that it has anything to do with the correlation of jobs and IQ.
