Have to take an IQ test...

[patrickbateman]

And come up with a 60-minute presentation for a job I interviewed for this morning.

I send emails and talk on the phone all day. It's not like I doing brain surgery.

If I Vince Young this IQ test, I'll be really pissed off.

What does Joe selling 5 apples for $1.00 and Sally selling 4 apples for $.90 have anything to do with a desk job?

And if you don't score above a certain number, you're out. Unreal.

Vince Young had the working intellect of a dead plant.

Correct answer is Sally ends up with $8.60 after a meeting with Joe under the bleachers.

So the correct answer is actually “Sally’s a working girl”.

Don’t ask my why places use the wonderlic as a pre/screen for employment- I never got it.

Taken it a few times - worst place that used it is a place I worked doing car insurance. I get that it test things like overall intelligence and ability to prioritize- but we would get PERFECT candidates - knew their shit, good personality - but they were former shop employees trying to go white collar - dudes would score a 4 and be eliminated as candidates. Then we would get some smug ass recent college graduate - know it all types, no personality and could not add wiper fluid to a car - they would pass and get the job. Of course 98% of the job was bullshitting people and dealing with a shop tech - guess how that went when some guy who felt he was better than a “grease monkey” came in with their attitude.

Key to test is skip through the easy questions first and then move to the tougher ones - do what you can and not spend too much time on any - pick the answer that fits best using deductive reasoning (I/E when it’s a math question and 2 answers are very close with perhaps a decimal point difference - assume one of those 2 is correct and your odds of guessing right are now 50/50).

Exactly - look at how well his career and financial situation turned out.

Remember when he said the test meant nothing - maybe they were right after all. If you can’t process basic info - reading a NFL defense schemed by well educated coach and executed by top athletes - you won’t do well.

That's the logical answer.

It could be worse, Bobby. He could be working for Microsoft who fly planeloads of Indians in and make you train your replacement.

Somewhat. It's a decent paying job and 100% remote.
