# Ever wondered if you aren't payed enough?
Well thanks to the grauniad on-line newspaper, you can now confirm if you are over-paid, earn just enough, or are in need of a big raise.

(I'd just like to say that I got only a couple wrong and apparently I deserve some more cash!......Best get hold of my manager right now and stop buggering about on the web)

16/25, 1

How boring.

Ever tried one of those 'Send us 2 quid and we'll send you a certificate' IQ tests?

Not suggesting they fudge results to encourage people to pay for certificates, but I got 145 on the last one I did.

Naaa . . . .

# I got loads of questions wrong.
here was there commment:

Well, you certainly have the experts confused. You're not the brightest spark, in fact your test results put you in "plank of wood" school of intellect. However, you've managed to persuade someone to pay you massively over the odds, so you can't be all that dumb. Can you?

Goddamit, i'm a webdesigner, i can program php, perl html and mysql yet i'm considered to be dumb just cos i couldnt match up a few patterns. maybe it's cos i'm thinking about work to hard... ;o)

# Boo
20/25 when checked against my salary it said:

Wow. Your IQ is as far above the average for your salary level as the scale permits. What are you doing with your life?

I wonder if I show this to the boss he'll give me a pay rise or just sack me for wasting time on the interner...
