Default Piloting is the second most dangerous occupation

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****?


An IQ test would suffice. However, intelligence is usually fairly obvious.

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.


Given that Mensa requires results from a standardized test to qualify for
membership, I find your comment rather odd.

Like I said. The *ONLY* qualifier of membership in Mensa is a demonstration
of the upper 2 percentile. Nothing more, nothing less.


Yes, and Mensa has a list of standardized tests, just like the ones you
disdain, that it will accept as proof of being in the upper two percent.
