| Torillian said: Alot of you guys are ignoring the fact that the required IQ minimum score is still above average. Calling these people morons seems like an exaggeration. Also to those claiming discrimination, I would contend that if you're allowed to turn away people who score too low on a test then it's also fine to turn away people for scoring too high. Now obviously since he's remained a guard all this time it proves that he wouldn't have gotten bored as far as I'm concerned, so the reasoning for the policy may be faulty, but the general concept of turning away someone for scoring too high on a test seems perfectly legitimate to me if you have a good reason. There's nothing inherently discriminatory about it unless you can say the same for testing in general. |
That's a good point really. I mean, there are people who underachive at school, then there are people who are just born stupid.
Nobody thinks twice about making fun of the guy with the 85 IQ who has trouble keeping a job at McDonalds, but if his IQ was just a bit lower to where he was mentally retarded people would feel awful. Not to say people with lower IQ's can't succeed, a lot do, because they develop great work ethics, but it's worth noting that being stupid is often genetic.
Kinda off topic, but it's something worth thinking about before laughing to hard at clips that make fun of people not knowing things.
