How smart are you?

[silasbufu]

I got 22. How the hell does knowing where Obama was born make me smart or not?
Some of the questions were bull..

This test was badly thought out and stupid how the hell do my chemical romance feature in an IQ test? I got 26 though.

12.

Fuck it, how should I know how many miles theres between LA and NY. Or where some dude called Obama was born.

That test was meant for Americanians.
Still I got 19, which means I'm smart :B

 

[Slavik_91]

The test asks a bunch of American history, something I haven't learned/don't really care about

"I am smart! I am smart! S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T! I am smart!"

Agreed. This is more of a "common knowledge for Americans" test.

The timer can go to hell. Several questions were forcibly skipped because I was taking too long to go over all the answers. It's, like, less than 10 seconds. What the hell?

18... I don't perform well under pressure...<.<

*pa pat* There there, it's alright. I got 19. It says I'm smart, but that test really was terribly thought out.

I knew almost all of the answers except the one about lead... There was just too much pressure and I ended up guessing or the timer ran out...<.<

I just chose "PB" because it reminded me of peanut butter.

That's what I picked... was it right?

Yes it is. I actually knew this one because of a lousy project I had to do WAY back in middle school.

26correct answers. 40,5%smater than the average player?

Doesn't feel right.. Enjoyed it though, but it's nowhwere near reality ofcourse!

I got 27, but most of the questions were things I learnt at school or just pretty basic common knowledge picked up from reading the news and just being aware of the world around me.

To be honest I didn't even notice the apparent American bias, the discovery of America question and the WW2 president is basic school stuff, the $2.75+$2.75 is basic addition regardless of the currency used, Elvis is a world icon and I though it was pretty common knowledge that Hollywood is in California & Obama is from Hawaii.

I'm not taking this seeing as it says "Stoopid" in the title.

Something that spells that way, even if it's in jest, has no right telling me I'm smart or not.

My score was 20 so apparently I'm smart.

Then again I've always thought of intelligence as being somewhat subjective.

Intelligence isn't subjective. An artistic genius will do just as well as a math genius on a proper IQ test because both exhibit excellent analysis and problem solving skills.

(IQ tests also don't have a cultural or racial bias, that's a myth from people who simply can't believe African Americans often score lower on IQ tests because of poorer education backgrounds instead of an easy to write-off testing bias.

It's hard to fix an education system, it's much easier to call it racist and move on.)

This is not an IQ test. This is a "how fast can you look up facts on google" test.

20... was worried about the time mostly, and there was one question that I dunno if I got right or wrong since I put my finger down on my touch pad and it selected one before I even knew what the question was...

 

[SlasherX]

26 the only one I got wrong wsa what did Jesus speak....... I don't care

 

[Simulated Eon]

22 and I'm apparently(I have no idea if I just spelled that correct) smart but isn't it more of "how much common knowledge do you have?"

 

[Fraught]

I got to the second question, the one about Christopher Columbus, and closed the browser window.

Questions that require prior knowledge to answer don't test intelligence. They test retention.

Even though I got 25, I completely agree with you.
