Testing the grey matter
Thcy've finally come up with the ultimate IQ tcst. Waiouru's scnior Field Phsycologist was at Linton recently hclping with an officcr sclection board, and was spotted putting a cigarctte into his mouth the wrong way round. (You're supposed to facc North and point the brown bit south, then put in the moosh). What's worse he lit it! Was this a new party trick or a clever way to avoid lung cancer? (a true test of IQ, avoiding the dreaded "Big C") No, it was finally concluded that it must be a new form of officer selection. The candidate spots the 'deliberate mistake' then hc/she was obviously got the required intelligence, assesment and decision making skills. No one knows why the Psych's normally cairn and suave demeanour was ruffled whcn spotted practising the new IQ Test, he should have been proud of himsclf!
