Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a humorous online test designed to measure perceived intelligence or "stupidity." Participants share their scores, reactions to the test, and engage in light-hearted banter about the nature of the questions and their implications. The conversation includes elements of self-deprecation, humor, and curiosity about the test's design and questions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express skepticism about the validity of the test, suggesting it cannot accurately measure intelligence.
  • Others share their scores, with a range of results indicating varying levels of perceived "stupidity," often accompanied by humorous commentary.
  • Several participants question specific test questions, such as those involving "burying survivors" and the order of colors in a rainbow, indicating confusion or disagreement about their interpretations.
  • Some participants reflect on the subjective nature of the questions, suggesting that multiple answers could be valid for certain items.
  • A few participants mention the Gauss method in relation to a question about summing integers, discussing whether it was a trick question.
  • There is a recurring theme of camaraderie and support among participants, with some reassuring others that not knowing answers does not equate to being "stupid."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally do not reach a consensus on the test's validity or the interpretation of specific questions. Multiple competing views and interpretations remain throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the test's design and the appropriateness of certain questions, indicating that the test may rely on subjective interpretations and assumptions that are not universally shared.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in humorous takes on intelligence testing, light-hearted discussions about self-perception, or those curious about the subjective nature of such assessments may find this thread engaging.

this test has to be wrong. I do not consider myself average
 
Sure, you're not. It's just a funny test! :wink:
 
no it's not! :biggrin:
 
I think I have the lowest IQ on all of PF, so yes, I am stupid.
 
I'm sure it's not the LOWEST

Probably not, but sho' nuff it's crazy. This test is nutty as hell.
 
86% scored higher (more stupid),
3% scored the same, and
11% scored lower (less stupid).

What does this mean? You are 11% stupid. This means...

You are far from stupid. Congrats on a great accomplishment!

 
Haha, I got 22%.. and I was totally arrogant on all of the subjective questions.. That was pretty lame.

Some questions though, were more from how you look at it...More than one answer should have been correct :/ on some questions

92% scored higher (more stupid),
3% scored the same, and
5% scored lower (less stupid).

What does this mean? You are 5% stupid. This means...

You are our next Einstein. Wow! Keep up the great thinking
Hm, I guess I lost points for finishing this stupid test. Woohoo! (And it's not 'more stupid' but 'stupider'. :-p)

Does that qualify you for MENSA? :biggrin: :smile:

Weeeh, I managed to get 100% stupid on the first try! Take that!
 
  • #15
27% stupid! quite impressed by that.
 
  • #16
why am I the stupidest one here?! :cry:
 
  • #17
Because you're my buddy!
 
  • #18
So, was it recognition of the tricks? Burying survivors, not recognizing the F's in the word "OF", etc? If 15 survived then 15 remained etc,etc?
 
  • #19
:confused: There was a question about burying survivors?

You bet, the plane crash, now you may have also scored wrong on the question if you do read.
 
  • #22
Wait... :confused: There was a question with a plane crash in it?

Man, I need to go to bed.

It is already 12:20 am, August 7, 2005, Sapporo local time. Now, i think I have to cook something for midnight meal. Say good night to me, everyone!
 
  • #24
wow, that's early. It's 8:30 in the morning here. I havn't slept all night.

Overall, you scored as follows:



89% scored higher (more stupid),
3% scored the same, and
8% scored lower (less stupid).

What does this mean? You are 8% stupid. This means...

You are our next Einstein. Wow! Keep up the great thinking.

I think I got the rainbow question wrong! I know the order, but couldn't remember which was top and which was bottom. :rolleyes: Unless I lost points for taking the test and completing it. :smile:

Me likes this !

92% scored higher (more stupid),

5% scored lower (less stupid).

What does this mean? You are 5% stupid. This means...

You are our next Einstein. Wow! Keep up the great thinking.

Ok my real result is as follows;

0% scored higher (more stupid),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less stupid).

What does this mean? You are 100% stupid. This means...

You tried really hard to get this stupidity score. Top 5%? How do you even know how to use a computer?
 
  • #28
Well, I couldn't see the smilies or image, but I did look up perspicacious, so I guess that makes it even. :biggrin:
Red is at the top. I figured red waves were 'longer' or have a higher wavelength, whatever, so they would spread out more and be at the top, which is the longest, most stretched out part, or something like that. :smile: Just totally bsed my way to an answer, but it turned out to be correct. :cool:

Red is at the top! No wonder they said I was stupid.

Just a quick question.

For that problem where you had to add up all the integers I used [tex]\frac{1}{2} n (n+1)[/tex]

Is that the gauss method, or was that a trick question that made me even stupider?
 
  • #30
Could you please some of you post your answers? I want to analyse this test. You know for example I notice that the question about "will you show your result to others..." have a big effect on your stupidity! :smile:
