How intelligent are you?

[Mich the Tester]

There was a story about a guy doing an IQ test as part of a job application. Out of the room full of applicants he was last to complete the test. The external invigilator picked up the pile of tests and told him he was too slow.
He asked imperiously 'Do you know who I am?' 'no i dont'
The chap shoved his paper into the pile, tipped it on the floor then ran out


allegedly

My tactic in those tests was to finish first and instead of using the time to diligently check the answers as most others do, just demonstrably put down my pen, close the papers and sit there looking smug with a little smirk on my face to psyche out the other candidates. It worked a treat. Just try it some day, see the nervous glances and sweaty foreheads and smile at people. Actually one employer recognized my tactic in one of those stuffy rooms you sit in to do the tests and complimented me on it, saying he’d done the same thing himself. He hired me.

There's a flaw in this tactic ...

Not if you've got the right answers.

yes.
what about this.
I go in and dont answer ANY of the questions. I draw a big X on the paper and write 'this is the bravest thing I have ever done' , then I sit and look VERY smug.
I always get hired because they admire my balls

True. Maybe. Then again maybe not. Ya cheeky wee fckr.

Actually I reckon speed of thought is as important in many jobs as being clever.
