Too clever by half...?
The Guardian's website has a rather fun little test that supposedly matches your IQ against your salary and calculates whether you are paid too much or too little for your brains.
I'm not sure whether I'm boasting that I've a really high IQ or mourning a crappy salary, but quickly doing the test resulted in:
Of course, the test isn't that accurate, and salary is not an indicator of job satifisfaction - but assuming that salary has a broad relationship to the challenge and stimulation of a job, and that IQ has a broad relationship to the need for challenge and stimulation it does rather suggest something has to change, and I suspect many will get the same result.

You got 24 questions right out of a possible 25. This gives you a cash/cleverness coefficient of...Damn. What was 25???

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