IQ doesn't have anything to do with how well you follow orders.

Just something to bear in mind when you are interacting with the police. Or any government official, really.

Police Officially Refuse To Hire Applicants With High IQ Scores

It’s long been rumored amongst law enforcement critics, but did you know that police departments officially disqualify high-scoring applicants? That’s not to say that all cops are stupid… Just that if you’re too smart, the police simply won’t hire you.

" on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training."


Thats the "theory" they espoused publicly, but it's no where near the real reason!!!!!!

This is probably true with some other employers as well.

Re: Police Officially Refuse To Hire Applicants With High IQ Scores
I realized this when my brother applied and passed every test and then "failed the polygraph", even the part where they asked him his name.

That, and I've met a cop.

Re: Police Officially Refuse To Hire Applicants With High IQ Scores
I took the test for the Wv State police in 1988. They told me I scored too high and that if I was to be a cop the other cops would not back me up like they should because of it.

Since then I look at cops like I do retards. No difference. They are easy to confuse with big words.

Cops today are obese slobs who barely fit into their shirts. Of course the states refuse to hire anyone with average/above average intelligence.

There is also a thing in which if a police officer goes missing and never shows up to work. The media is not informed about it.
