I recently took an IQ test, and today I got the results through the post. It says my IQ is in the top 10% of the population. Is that good? I mean, It it worth noting on my resume, etc? Or is that just average? or slightly above?
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
:)

It would also be a good idea to add some hobbies/things you like to do on that thing. IQ tests are often wrong. There is no reliable method for determining someones overall IQ. People are good at different things i.e. one person might be a math whizz, another a true story teller. What makes being better at any one task better/ more vauable to a potential employer.

Unless you have solid credentials like MENSA membership, stuff like this does not belong on your resume. [ Pook's advice column | Ask Pook A Question ]
