What do you think would happen economically among a system of
nations where the corporations and business in one nation were
not allowed to IQ test its managers and lead employees,
researchers and engineers.......
.....and all of the other nations were IQ testing their
executives, engineers, scientists and production workers.
Which nation would fail economically.
Comments?
Note:
A law was passed in the US, 1971 that precluded the use of IQ
tests in most of private industry,

Whichever nations had the smallest arsenal of weapons
and the least ability to keep the Repugnicans out of
their lives.

In the new world order the only thing that matters is the
ability to destroy your neighbors. Welcome to
stoooooopidville where all the people ride their
dinosaurs to church each Sunday.

There is more to running a corporation than an IQ test can disclose. A
co-worker of mine, a mild-mannered accountant, was sent in to
straighten out the accounting of a corporation and when she was done
the company was finally making a profit.
If a country has an equal number of jobs and workers, there needs to be
someway of matching them up so that the jobs requiring special
abilities would get those workers. So how would you rate the
intelligence needed for a specific job? If too many jobs require a
higher degree of intelligence than actually needed, the pay scales will
become inflated.

I'm having trouble understanding what economic growth has to do with IQ
testing business executives and production workers. Most big time executives
and certainly most production workers are of average IQ at best and that
seems to work best for high growth in productivity. |
