Wish I had seen this article before I wasted my time with a couple of agencies. I wasn't aware that doing very well on the test portion would actually work against me.

so have to make myself look dumber in order to be competitive? fuck that

Yeah, it's old but I'm curious why ABC chose a picture of a chick on a treadmill to illustrate this particular story. Even if she's a cop (and we don't know she is), what the heck does being on a treadmill have to do with the plaintiff being "too smart" for New London?

Like most government jobs you do just enough to get by. Hard word and intelligent actions are seen as challenging and insubordinate. If you want to get promoted just screw up more than normal.

The median score is defined as 100, so 125 is technically a high score.

When you consider that 100 is the peak of a bell curve and 96% of scores are between 70 and 130 it gives you only 2% of scores are above 130 which is considered a superior IQ score.

Well, I guess they must use the same criteria and rationale for politicians and presidential candidates as well.
