1) In some jobs the ability to be autonomous is of great value, in
most jobs intelligence is of great value.


Intelligence is useful in almost any job and is a valuable predictor
of success in most jobs. However, joining a social club based on IQ
says other things about a person that are not necessarily positive.
And as I've said, anyone who has a good knowledge of Mensa might think
twice about hiring someone in the club.


How the **** would you demonstrate that you have the "valuable predictor" of
intelligence without a group, such as Mensa, that filters applicants based
on intelligence, dip****? And don't tell me "standardized tests." I've
interviewed too many dumb****s that couldn't tell me the difference between
a pointer and a reference even though they had a "computer science' degree.

Like I said. The *ONLY* qualifier of membership in Mensa is a demonstration
of the upper 2 percentile. Nothing more, nothing less. (well, that and the
ability to pay dues g). Your statement is just a giant non sequitor,
obviously caused by "sour grapes".
