I think its more a matter of psychology on the part of the personnel
manager. I mean, what sort of person has a goal in life of becoming a
director of human resources? I'll bet its someone who did poorly on an
IQ test and enjoys jerking around the lives of people more skilled and
intelligent than they are. Job applicants would therefore be smart to
not mention their intelligence. I've also noticed this same phenomenon
on the part of department heads. They never want to hire someone smarter
than they are, unless they are that rare non-egotistical type...
