“I only looked into this as an enhancer to my professional resume online.”
You might want to reconsider using a high IQ as a resume teaser in leau of more experience that can word match. When the economy starting falling apart, again, in the late 1990’s, one of the most used reasons for refusal of employment was “over qualified.” This was why a lot of highly educated people were walking the streets in pursuit of a position at any level.
In many positions, leaders don’t feel comfortable with intelligent people around them as they threaten their control. CEO’s in many cases are not there to run the companies. They are contracted to accomplish some specific task. And at the end of the timeline they’ll be released if they don’t to the owner’s opinion. This is why we have professional CEO’s in the business world. But anyone that challenges their ability to reach their contracted goals is a problem. And in some cases, their goals don’t even match up with the bottom line directly. It can be a problem.

Seriously, most people have bosses who are dumber than fence posts.
