According to the Guardian, I should be higher paid for my IQ (I got a quotient of 10 in the end)! If only they knew :)

10? Errrr...surely you're being paid slightly too much then, and should instead be spending your days going
"D'you want fries with that?"
You must have missed out the 6 between the 1 and the 0...!

No, no. They ask you what your salary is and then calculate your IQ. The combination of the two is your quotient. So a quotient of 0 means you're being paid about enough for your IQ, positive says you should be paid more and negative less. I don't think the IQ test is very good though, as you're not timed (although it does tell you how long the control group had to complete it so you could time yourself).

Wow. Your IQ is as far above the average for your salary level as the scale permits. What are you doing with your life?

Not really a big surprise - I knew I needed a better job. However, I'm certain that one of their answers is wrong. The bottom left question on the second page they think should be "No", and they are wrong. Mind you, that whole page is skew because in some cases the strange perspective means that the "shape" is unimportant because you can't determine it properly, while in others the shape is important because that determines the answer.
