How much do you make?
You meet a new person and feel an instant connection. It quickly becomes clear that this is a person you'd like to build a relationship with. As you talk, the conversation flows naturally from one topic to another. You discover that you share many common interests, making the connection feel even stronger.
As the conversation continues, it naturally turns to life goals and careers. Eventually, the subject of salary comes up, and your new friend asks how much money you make. If you're still in school, imagine the question is how much money your parents make.
How do you respond to the question, and why? If you claim you would answer truthfully, please share your salary.
How is this different from a question of your IQ score?
This question is inspired by https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifted/comments/1upb500/the_burden_of_having_an_iq_of_143/ , but there are many other threads on this subreddit lamenting how awkwardness ensues when they share their IQ score.
