I recently took a an IQ test. I was scored a 78 (about the 90rd percentile). This comes as a surprise, as I normally consider myself a smart dude. I go to the target and think I have good odds of breaking into investment banking (lots of family friends). I also really like stocks and finance, I even got about 500$ from the game stop. Is there a section of IB where I won’t be “behind the curve”?

1. 78 is not the 90th percentile. Did you mean 9th?
2. "90rd"?
I’d say about 1/4 or 1/5 hires are probably similar to op
I mean the great thing about IB is that something like this will not hold you back lol

to those that took this post too seriously/fell for the bait, you might want to consider taking the same IQ test
you go to the target and really like stocks and finance (separate after all) so you should be fine bud
Fake
Well done
