...I sure ain't no Norman Einstein!
One of the funniest sports quotes ever came from Joe, when he said, "The word “genius” isn’t applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
Joe was right. Obviously.
Our buddy, and resident Oregon Duck fan, Paul the Fireguy, sends along a link to a "just how smart are you?" online test.
Now, I enjoy these things. And, I normally do very well on them. I hate to brag on myself, but I normally eclipse the average by at least 50 pur-sint!
Really, I due!
But this one here messed me over pretty good. It's because it is timed. You only have 8 seconds to answer each question. What really stunned me is how quickly I could answer the ones I ought not to be able to, and how slow I was at the stuff I should know.
Take it just once, and see how you come out. I came up with a "22," with the average score being "18.2" at the time I took it. This makes me only 20.9% smarter than average. Crud.
You may leave your score in the comments, should you choose to. And, as always, you may lie like a cheap rug.
Here's the test. Now, I'll warn ya'...you'd better buckle up before you hit that start button.
"24... 31.9% smarter than average." I liked the tag line: "Einstein's got competition." Heh. Not really, I'm just chock-full of useless (stuff).
ReplyDeleteI scored 25.
ReplyDeleteOne of the questions I simply clicked too quick and missed the one I was trying for. I know what the square root of 81 is.
The popular culture questions I kind of pride myself on not knowing. Knowing what artist is responsible for a particular song I've never heard of and probably wouldn't like, the slang term for a particular illegal drug, where a particular brand of beer I don't drink is brewed, or which manufacturer produces a car that I probably wouldn't be able to identify on the road, don't strike me as a particularly valid measures of intelligence.
But it was fun anyway.
26! 26! Not that I'm braggin' or nothin'.
ReplyDeleteSo, as of 2:05 pm cst, we've got a 24, 25, and 26.
ReplyDeleteEarly conclusions are that Andy is the stoopidust visitor to Andy's Place. Or, that you're all a bunch of liars, nyuk. Just joshin'. I know for certain that only highly intelligent people visit Andy's Place.
As for the host...well...
I was tempted to take a mulligan, coz I know I fluffed a couple. But, being the basically honest sort I AM... (heh)
ReplyDeleteSeven people have taken it over at my house; one person claims a 30. Four beat me with a 25, one tied me, and one had a 22. It looks like we're ALL smartypants, eh?
A test peppered with pop culture references isn't an intelligence test. It's a trivia test. I quit after it asked me who sang some rap song.
ReplyDeleteCosmic, Welcome to the Black Parade is EMO!!!!
ReplyDeleteI scored 27, 51.7% smarter than everyone else. As if.
OK, Andy, I got a 22.5 before I sent it to you. Had a fire the night before and was running on 4 hours sleep. Also, fat finger syndrome on the mouse. Not excuses, just saying.....
