How smart are you?

[infohippie]

How smart am I? Too smart for my own good, but not smart enough to know better.

 

[Super Toast]

How does pop culture knowledge make you smart? What a shitty test.

 

[superbatranger]

How in the hell am I going to know where some beer I've never heard of is brewed? As for how smart am I...well, I have no idea to be honest.

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?

Pb is indeed Lead

i got a 17
I don't like being timed

Yea This test kinda sucked
Pop culture is not my strong point nor does it signify intelligence

 

[ethaninja]

Most of those questions were about America. I had no idea In the end I gave up and just started randomly clicking. I got 10 right >.<

 

[loc978]

24... but that was ridiculous. Car commercial slogans? Popular music song titles? Seriously?
Oh, and a warning to anyone not from the US: this is yet another one biased against you.

Really it is? Because Mitsubishi is of course a US company, and world war II was fought completely inside the US by US troops only right?

The test is far less biased then you are implying. I can think of only two questions that where biased towards people in the US and these deal with wildly popular icons. There where many more questions that would be far easier if you lived outside the US.

...the only thing about Mitsubishi in there was an ad slogan in english. I don't know if that's biased for any particular country (certainly not Japan. Very few folks there recognize the english slogans that companies stick beneath their kanji/kana slogans), but it's not something that an American would find obscure. World War II is only biased toward nations that were involved in it (and yes, it's drilled into the skulls of kids from the US, UK, Germany, Japan, et al), and the only question regarding it asks what years it took place in. Easy and almost country-neutral.
But the distance between any two US cities, even icons such as New York and LA... measured in miles? Seriously, I've never seen the old Standard system used overseas by anyone not from the US... and I've been around the world a couple times.

24. Seems to be the average in this thread.

 

[fletch_talon]

21 isn't too bad for an Australian taking a quiz that is blatantly targeted at Americans.

 

[Hiraeth]

23, I have no idea if I got the American history questions right. And I accidentally clicked beef instead of pork for the Muslim question so I should perhaps have 24.

[darkfire613]

I got 21 because a bunch of the questions were on subjects I know nothing about.

It doesn't measure true intelligence anyway because this is only memorized facts. The one about which company makes the Evolution car doesn't really have to do with intelligence; it has to do with car knowledge. A true intelligence test would have solutions that can be arrived at through logic and reasoning instead of memorization.

 

[Xojins]

I got a 27. I don't see how this is a test of intelligence though.

Have you taken chemistry?

No it isn't required in California...<.<

 

[SimuLord]

I got 29, which only serves to point out that I have a freakish sweep of general knowledge and should probably go on Jeopardy.

I had a choice between Earth Science, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy in High School.

I took all of them.

I feel like a major geek.

I had to take Biology, Physics, and Earth Science.... but for my 4th year science wasn't required so I didn't take it... I took Digital Photography instead...<.<

26.

Of course everyone railing on about how "it's not an intelligence test" appear to have failed the biggest test of all: reading the page itself.

**The Smart or Stoopid test is purely meant to be a fun quiz to see how your IQ rates alongside the average, based on the scores

of other people who have taken the test. Naturally, only stupid people would take it as a true indicator of intelligence,

and only intelligent people would take it as a true indicator of stupidity. Or something like that.
