What does an IQ of 33 mean?

http://iq-test.learninginfo.org/iq04.htm

"90 Laborers; Gardeners; ... ".

Seeing as that was preceded by;

"Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group
that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific
occupation.

Which would imply that "Gardener" is not a specific occupation.
Which would further imply that it is (e.g.) a hobby.
Which in turn implies that none of those within the higher category
can possibly be "Gardeners".

Which suggests that "90" is the appropriate measure for those who
produce such rubbish!

Well, no. It means "not the specific occupation for the person
concerned". Where I _would_ quarrel with it is in its apparent
unawareness of how many different levels are represented by the term
"gardener": you don't need a huge IQ to drive lawnmowers and hedge
trimmers for the council, but I wouldn't call that gardening. And why
upholsterers, I wonder? Not the largest occupational category I can
think of. A slightly odd world-view.
