A couple of tidbits explaining their reasoning used for attaching "values" to certain attributes:

1. The sex thing:

"Women are given $135,000 to start and men are given $200,000 to start.
Why are males worth more than females?
On average women earn between 71-74 cents for every dollar earned by men, for doing the same job! Over time this adds up. The average 25-year-old working woman will lose more than $523,000 to unequal pay during her working life. These figures are even worse for women of color. African American women earn only 67 cents and Latinas 55 cents for every dollar that men earn."

2. The age thing:

"This one is pretty simple. We valued younger people more than older people."

3. The race card:

"Different races were valued differently. Think this is wrong, racist or ignorant?"

4. The weight issue:

"Discrimination is as much a fact of life for fat people as it is for other people outside the "norm." Fat people earn less money...."

As a Caucasian woman with all else remaining the same:
"You are worth exactly $2,413,520"

I was "worth" more as me - a woman of African descent.

When I added in my IQ, my worth escalated:
"You are worth exactly $3,208,710"
Without it, I was "worth" only $2,407,000.

Sorry, way too long of a survey. I guess my time is more valuable. LOL
