IQ Tests

People with IQ's of 80-90 are a little on the slow side but may be found in fast-food restaurants, day-care centers, etc. They may also be found in unskilled jobs. About 16% of the population has IQ's in this range.
People with IQ's of 90-110 generally occupy semi-skilled positions, including typists, receptionists, assembly line workers, and checkout clerks. They are able to keep up with the world, and comprise about 46% of the public.
People with IQ's in the 110 to 120 range fill the skilled trades and include some tool and die makers, teachers, and Ph. D.'s among their ranks. They also make up 16% of the population.
People with IQ's of 120 and above tend to staff the professions as doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, and college professors. They fall in the upper 10% of the population.

Definition of IQ

My 122/126 IQ fits a 7/12 T rating.

My experience = Perception says that the IQ test is a very good guide when recruiting employees. Better than realms of qualifications.

Personality factors come into play. I am excellent (ceiling level) on vocabulary, just above average on arithmetic, but below average on non-fluid reasoning. As an eployer I would like to sub-group the scores. A mechanical engineer(IXTP) may have different skills from a legal writer (INTP)
