Intelligence vs. Work Ethic
Yesterday during my investment banking interview I was asked to rate myself on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being intelligence and 10 being work ethic. How do you answer a question like that?
Here's my response and rationale. I rated myself "6 or 7" because I thought my GPA and part-time economics job demonstrated intelligence; thus I put more emphasis on my work ethic, which would be more difficult for an interviewer to identify. I also (politely) said that the question was misleading because in most results-oriented environments, intelligence and work ethic are complimentary, rather than opposites.
Where would you rate yourself?

I'd say:
"FUCK YO ASS BITCH! 1 UP YO MAMA AND 2 FO THE SHOW! 3 TO FUCK YOU BABY AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Then I'd eat a stampler and walk out.

And this explains why Jason isn't an investment banker...
By the way, Jason, I'd be interested in seeing this "stampler" you speak of. Apparently it's a combination of a stamp and a stapler. Good job.
