It actually calculates your ability to answer an IQ test and weight it against other people having taken the same test... But has it been proven that it measures something beyond measuring IQ test answering capabilities?? In other words... Is Einstein stronger or weaker than Mozart? Is Bocuse (French Chef) better or worse than Napoleon or Roosevelt? Is Bill Gates better or worse than Mandela? All those guys have their share of awards to their resumes... Yet, to me it all depends on what you measure them up to... And they just show that measuring human beings on one single dimension is fairly irrelevant... Actually it's quite often that once someone has mastered one art, it wants to prove itself in another... Some guys I happen to know are well-famous entrepreneurs who may get into politics... A strange world we live in :)) Hi Fabrice,
