Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ
CWmike writes "A Chinese IT outsourcing company that has started hiring new US computer science graduates to work in Shanghai requires prospective job candidates to demonstrate an IQ of 125 or above on a test it administers to sort out job applicants. In doing so, Bleum Inc. is following a hiring practice it applies to college recruits in China. But a new Chinese college graduate must score an IQ of 140 on the company's test. The lower IQ threshold for new US graduates reflects the fact that the pool of US talent available to the company is smaller than the pool of Chinese talent, Bleum said."
"Countdown to lengthy posts by people with low scores which refute and condemn the use of IQ in recruiting and/or in general..."

Naa, it's just an marketing move, they know those 2 conditions are impossible to conciliate: US citizen and IQ over 125 ... pleeeese.
And everything revolves around America. ;)
Remember to maintain your supply of
"Sorta says something positive about Americans in general." Yep that Americans are so bad with dealing with people of others cultures, especially Asian ones, that it’s handy to have a few of the more adaptable ones in your company if you want to do business with America Like was only about a week ago there was an article about Chinese company's hireing white americans for the day to pretend to be the boss when interacting with potencial american customers

Did it find any?
No, the ghost of Alan Turing is here. And he won't stop pestering me about asking you to kindly rebury his corpse. Why they ever changed the state laws which prohibited having a dead guys for boyfriends, I'll never know!
Doesn't help that the only ghosts I'm capable of seeing are those whose deceased corporeal forms are being sodomized by necrophiliac fuckin' sickos. I swear, they get more and more action day by day, and all these sore-ass ghosts keep piling up. Don't you get it, it's a perversion of nature!
