wow they require a 140 IQ. That is setting the bar pretty high. Good for them I guess.

I have a high IQ but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Often it results in people who can’t feel empathy or compassion as everything is logic driven. It’s hard to communicate with others because they can’t follow. So if they need some number crunchers or programmers high IQs are good. But if they need leaders often times it gets in their way. Not saying all leaders have small IQs either.

FWIW, I'm in the 120-130 range, which is supposed to be about the 85-95 percentile range. I would suppose when you get to 140, you're talking the 99 percentile range, aren't you?

Back when I was tested (high school), they wouldn't even give you your exact score, only the range. Since I graduated 14th in a class of 144, I suspect I'm right in the middle of the range.

I can't see where the intelligence has made me any extra money, but it has kept me from voting for libtards . . .

For leaders of regular, American-IQ companies you may be right. For leaders of Chinese-IQ companies, they may simply want to select those with interpersonal skills from their vast 140+ pool. Each to relate to his average employee.

Also your health and alertness at the time can affect the results I believe.
