I've been ignoring this thread, but when Hal Steinbeigle quoted someone
[thankfully nameless] as saying "120 as a minimum IQ for an ideal LO
employee" I had to write.

Yes, Gardner on multiple intelligences tells us that it's more complicated
than that, but good grief let's just spell it out:this is just dumb! IQ is
dumb! IQ has no place in a learning organisation because IMO [not IMHO] a
learning organisation values everyone for their contribution and enables
everyone to grow [which includes increasing your IQ, BTW.]

There are 2 sorts of people in the world, those who think the world can be
divided into 2 sorts of people, and those who know its more complicated
than that... [attrib to O. Wilde]

Grr! I really like this list! so please, no more IQ stuff!

Best wishes
