"I'm just as bright as my boss, and with half a
chance I could hold down his job. At least I
wouldn't make as many mistakes as he does.'7
If the Boss Knew That Was True He Would Raise Your Pay
f Your boss is only human. He must make good or he hasn't any
job. He's trying all the time to find smarter, better men to work
for him. He can get plenty of Underlings it's the man with fun
damental business knowledge, the kind that indicates an ability and
will to think, that he finds hard to obtain. If 'you were that kind,
and he knew it, he'd, be just as pleased to raise your pay as you'd
be to get it.
Do Yotli Use Tike Mind You Have?
But it's a hard matter for most of us to prove to the
world at large that we DO think, that we know
HOW to think. Many a man doesn't have the kind
of job in which he can show that he can use his
head. The monotony of the daily task is such that
he must be content to plug along as best he can. Is
yours the job that ties you to one line of thought
all day long and doesn't give you a chance to show
any further ability? And still you'd like to have
your boss and friends know your real capabilities?,
Here's a Chance to Prove It!
The Bee's Intelligence Questionnaire is designed primarily as a test of thinking ability.

them correctly is the guage of your intillegence. The selection of thirty of the "Best"
