High IQ Score Keeps Man Off Police Force From Times Wire Reports
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by a man who was deemed too smart to
be a New London, Conn., police officer. U.S. District Judge Peter C.
Dorsey said the Police Department's rejection of Robert Jordan because
he scored too high on an intelligence test did not violate his rights.
The city's rationale for the long-standing practice is that candidates
who score too high could soon get bored and quit after undergoing costly
academy training. Dorsey said: "The question is not whether a rational
basis has been shown for the policy chosen by defendants. Plaintiff may
have been disqualified unwisely, but he was not denied equal
protection." Jordan, 48, scored a 33, the equivalent of an IQ of 125.
The average score nationally for police officers, as well as office
workers, bank tellers and salespeople, is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an
IQ of 104.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
