take this with a grain of salt, if you score to high on your IQ test you can't join the police force.

Duh. They want people to follow orders and enforce laws.


Actually the real reason... that was upheld in court, was that being a police officer was boring as fuck and therefore someone with a genius level intellect would get bored... and it's expensive to make a police officer.


I wasn't really going to comment back in here since I know how it would end and I would rather not waste my time on it, but I did want to comment on the fact that it seems like you're giving a pretty low standard to the word "genius" as I wouldn't say an IQ of 125 is "genius" level.  I already know my IQ is higher than that.  Does that make me a genius?
