Cower Before My Intellect!

Am-I-Dumb.com - The Dumb Test

What I want to know is ... if I got 25/25,* how is that 98.96%? Or maybe I'm not quite smart enough to figure out what they mean by that ...

Also, be warned: this test discriminates against people unfamiliar with American history. On the other hand, it also includes questions about the metric system, so maybe it evens out... bloody stubborn non-metricky country.

Be warned again: you can get your results without entering all your personal info at the end, just hit 'back.' And if that takes you to the last page of the test, hit 'forward.' And if that doesn't work, perhaps it's just a Firefox thing – which all intelligent people use.


*occasionally by guessing...

I got 24/25 . . but then on the sports one I got 21/25. I think we should combine scores on the two for the final result.

I scored 24 too. I know which one I got wrong. The IQ test that follows is nonsense, because I scored 140 which is far from the truth. I've take 2 tests on Mensa's pages, and they have me down to 110-112. I couldn't apply for membership, he he.

The time you take with the quiz affects the score, I'd say.

I spent a pretty long time on the quiz because I went off to do something and got a pretty low percentage.

(And just proved my stupidity by replying to azvolrien instead of directly posting a comment to this journal... *Blames coke*)

Ahh, that must be it. I kept staring at one of them trying to figure out how it could be a trick question when it wasn't. I guess I'm too suspicious to be smart. :)

I'm going to prove my intelligence by not wasting my time taking a stupid quiz, MUAHAHAHA!!

Yeah, I was wondering why that comment had been deleted when I went to reply.

I got 23/25, and I know bugger all about American history.

98.96 is your percentile, not percentage. of course 25 out of 25 is 100%. But 98.96 is the percentage of people that your scored higher than, they round it up to 99% for the little symbol thing.

p.s. I didnt score as high as you! I have no idea where Seattle is in relation to New York, but then I'm British.

I am smarter than 98.94% of the rest of the world. (http://www.am-i-dumb.com)
Intelligence Test (http://www.am-i-dumb.com)

98.94% means that 1.06% of test takers have gotten a perfect score.

[bluecrystalblue.livejournal.com]

Yep. Sorry about that, total mistake. >.<

Lucky you. I got 18/25, mostly for being an unlucky guesser when it came to those questions. lol I know nothing about American culture...

[veronikamg.livejournal.com]

Awww, you're a Moomin fan!

[azvolrien.livejournal.com]

I got most of the American history ones through process of elimination. I would have got much less if they weren't multiple choice.

[bluecrystalblue.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I didn't really use my brain with those questions actually, it's too lazy. XD But congratulations on getting your score!

[bluecrystalblue.livejournal.com]

I do tend to spend a lot of time figuring things out. (I overfigure things out, too... lol) I wish people (*cough*schoolgoverningboard*cough*) would realise that we aren't all cosmic geniuses.

[emerald-maz.livejournal.com]

I got 23/25...

I feel that some of the questions were unfair... being a New Zealander, how am I really supposed to know the American history questions? It seemed to be nation specific...

[epiphany-gun.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I can explain.

If you got a 25/25 you are SMARTER than 90% of us fools, the other 10% having also gotten a 25/25. Therefore you got 100% of the questions right but didn't score BETTER than 100% of the testees. But was would I know, I only got a 24/25. D:
