In Reply to: Talk about anger...anyone who posts a high IQ score is a pathological liar..... - me
Wow. I caught this while looking for something else. The impression I get is that the poster who talks about pathological liars is insecure and probably does have a low IQ score. My husband is at genius level, 179. I'm only 136. What matters is we know our terminology, grammar, sentence structure and how to use a computer and dictation equipment. :-)

Neither IQ scores nor test scores
determine our place in life. It's not the cards you are dealt but the way that you play them that counts. AND BTW just remember that half of the docs (and lawyers, etc) out there graduated in the bottom half of their class. Something to think about.
I'm sure she has the QA scores to prove it.
Otherwise, she'd wonder how she was doing instead of speaking the truth.
I too have high QA scores but the QA
percentage is killing me (over 30%). When work is low I am reluctant to take on another acct because once again all would go to QA and affect that percentage. I have decided to just type and not worry about my QA percentage for now, just continue to type and send quality work (of course when there is work).
Just curious - just where is everyone getting their scores?nm

With all these high IQ scores....
we have some serious underachievers here!!!!!!!!
SAT scores aren't everything.
In my other job, I work with colleagues who are current and past admissions officers for several prestigious universities. They have told me time and time again that although SAT scores are considered when reviewing an applicant, they are far from the most important determinant of acceptance or denial.
Yes, it's unfair that someone can manipulate the testing system, but no one gets in to college based on SAT scores alone. You've got to have the grades, recommedations, achievements, etc., to back it up.
QA scores vs limits vs less money for MTs and QA
In new QA plan, if MQ pays on your QA score and limits the amount of reports you can send to QA (was it 15%?) doesn't that essentially cut down on QA personnel and while looking for an excuse to pay you less and it is contingent on QA and percentage of reports sent to QA, MQ wins again in its master plan to pay MTs less and eliminate jobs.
Then think about this. If you must proofread every report to get required QA and must relisten and reread difficult reports because you have limits as to what you send to QA, how much of a pay cut is that for MTs?
MQ SUCKS!
That was the old advice before FICO scores came out.
The new advice is to leave some of them open. You want to show that you have credit available to you, but that it's unused. Having just a few maxed out accounts or having no credit cards is bad now.
Genius IQ scores are not the issue!
I know, and apparently you do as well; life and the decisions we make are what makes us what we are, not our IQ score! There are lower scoring IQ docs and lawyers out there that worked their tails off to be what they are. IQ scores didn't do it for them. My problem is not with the IQ score, it is with the PERSON having a genius IQ score who thinks they are "something" because of a number.
My company minimum is 98.5, my scores are
consistently 99.9. My company doesn't count off for punctuation, although they will make corrections to it. I get daily feedback. I get my corrected reports and I also get access to the audio. The last day of the month we get a report that shows us lots of information and also gives us our QA score. If you drop below the minimum you are given a warning and given 2 weeks to do better. If you do better they will work with you, if you don't do better you get axed.
My work is good, but not perfect. When we get corrected reports there are many categories in which they take off points. Rarely do I have a critical error, but I frequently have minor errors, some just careless, some because account specifics changed and I didn't preview them before starting work and unaware of updates - all that said I still make 99.9, so I would think I would have to make lots of errors or serious errors to get even 98.5 with my company. If you're only making 97% and you are getting regular feedback make a list of errors and keep them where you can see them regularly. If you are consistently misspelling a word or not capping, etc. put it in your expander. You should also do a 100% review with the audio for at least a few days so you can see where you are making mistakes and they will become habit to check for, or when you make errors automatically correct them at the time.
If your errors are because you don't know terminology get a notebook and write down things alphabetically. If you are pretty much using the net for all you reference sources be sure you have some good websites as there is a lot of misinformation out there.
I don't know about the over-inflated IQ scores on this board (LMBO)
Pathological liars
Self absorbed
Wannabe
and very VIVID IMAGINATIONS!!!
the list goes on! LOL!
No regrets here. High scores, great job.

I would think that our QA scores honestly reflect the quality of our work
and are not infuenced in any way by how we interpret the status you may or may not hold. Hopefully, you are not basing QA statistics on whether or not you like a certain MT's attitude about you.
Our school has good scores but my kids have never been stressed
Probably depends on the teachers and the corporate culture at your school.
Why not mention the other side? That MQ payes BONUSES FOR GOOD QA scores!
Whine, whine, whine, but those who are GOOD get $$ for good QA scores! Improve your skills, make more $$, and whine less!
DW Stars. Drew was great! watch tonite for scores. nm
