How Intelligent Are You?

[SOteric]

Poll question: How Intelligent Are You?

1. Fookin' Brilliant. I'm so smart Stephen Hawking calls me 6 times a day for insights into the workings of the universe. My brain is faster than a conservative in the bedroom; more powerful than Clear Channel's grip on the media; able to leap Rush Limbaugh's tall tales in a single bound; and it looks, ver-a, ver-a sexy in a tight pair of jeans.

2. Smarter Than The Average Bear. I'm no longer young enough to know everything. Though my mental gymnastics aren't Olympic Class, this is only because they've lost their amateur status.

3. The Average Bear. I'm not going to cure the common cold, or solve the riddles of time travel. But I'm possessed of remarkable good sense and the necessary smarts to see my way through life, a butterfly ballot and a productive career.

4. Not Quite Up To Average. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Book-learnin' ain't all that important. I could kick Stephen Hawking's butt, ...whoever he is.

5. Dumber Than Dog-Snot. I are a Freeper. And so are my wife, Cuzin' Beulah.

1. *ring ring*

Darn....I just know that's Steve again.

Wish he'd leave me alone.

[SOteric]

3. He's

only after you for that tight pair of pants.

[ForrestGump]

4. Well, he can have 'em

I'm sick of sounding like Truman Capote. :P

[SOteric]

6. That's okay, Forrest.

We're not too happy about you running around without your pants.

:evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

8. I can understand why

Might scare the local wildlife. And it's pretty wild around here....

Darn, did I forget to put them on today?

[Fixated]

2. ....

I am SO above this.

[ForrestGump]

5. Really? Have you met _SO_ teric?

:D

Really, that was kinda lame. Beyond 'kinda lame.' Let me change my vote.....

[Wonk]

7. Shouldn't this thread be titled "How intelligent do you think you are?"

Or even "How big is your ego"?

Have fun. ymmv

[SOteric]

9. You want the

"How pedantic can you be?" thread down the hall.

We're just into having fun here, -this isn't for the purposes of clinical research.

[ForrestGump]

10. Pedantic?

What's that? Fun with feet?

:-)

[SOteric]

11. That's when

that delightfully antic Skittles kicks your ass.

[ForrestGump]

17. She's your aunt?

Huh. Feistiness runs in the family....

[SOteric]

18. She would be...

but she isn't Italian enough.

[dweller]

12. Smart enough not to stick around here

<exit left, laughing>

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. I'm so intelligent, I'm useless!

:D

[SOteric]

16. That's okay.

Just stay there on your car hood pedestal. We know exactly what to do with you.

[ForrestGump]

19. Wait a minute....

What is that smiley's mouth doing? And where are its oh-so-conveniently-spaced hands placed?

Is this a lewd smiley?

:P

[SOteric]

21. Lewd is

as lewd does, Forrest.

[ForrestGump]

23. *gasp*

Then it's true! I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

And more than a tad titillated.

Huhuh....I said 'illated.'

[SOteric]

24. No, you're not.

Okay, now you are.

[ForrestGump]

26. yes! yes! Yes! Yes! Yessssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

Oh, yes!

I do like that. :D

It's very good for the circulation....

And they're all natural, I can tell.

[SOteric]

27. Well...

They're virtually natural.

[ForrestGump]

29. Sorry....did you say something?

They're very hypnotic, aren't they? I could just sit here for hours and hours and hours and......

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

32. Stare at this?

[ForrestGump]

33. Wow.....like...far out.....NSMA's rotate....

And she paints them. I've never seen that before.

I'd hate to be around when they unspin, clockwise, though. Danger!

[buddhamama]

14. number three

good thing my ego is not a (real) problem ;first the attractive question and now this one :crazy:

i smile a lot :-) :D :-) :D

btw,SOteric, you have the absolute best polls going. a few more of these cause you make me laugh :D :D :D and one of these :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Of course you are absolutely brilliant,

you are here, right? :-)

[SOteric]

22. I suspect most of us

are closer to average than we'd like to think.

You've managed to impress me with your clarity of thought, intelligence and good sense more than once. I accuse you of charm and humility.

:loveya: backatchya

[Solly Mack]

15. Dumber than dog snot

though it can make such delightful patterns...

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. I am okay at History, Social Studies, English, Spelling, and Literature.

I am a complete lunkhead at math, science, and all that boy stuff. ;-) No one would be awed by the likes of me.


But did I tell you that my daughter competed in the National Spelling Bee last year? Speller number 107. ;-)

[Lady Freedom]

28. Meza at #3!

hehe!

[WillyT]

30. "faster than a conservative in the bedroom" - Now THAT Is Funny !!!

ROFLMAO!!!

:bounce::kick::bounce:

[Sperk]

31. I'm smarter than the President of the United States.

Then again, so isn't my cat. :evilgrin:

[MiltonLeBerle]

34. When I took the ACT 25 years ago, my composite score was 32.

I was in the 99th percentile in all categories, with my lowest score being the 29 I got in English, which was still high enough to comp me out of the Rhet requirement at U of I. My school didn't emphasize the SAT, so I never took it.

[FlaGranny]

35. How smart am I?

A lot smarter than *.

[Nikia]

36. Intelligent people are unsuitable for most professions

I read that somewhere in a human resources book about people who score in the 95th percentile on IQ type tests. Knowing a few highly intelligent people in jobs that could be performed by below average and average intelligenced people, I think that is sometimes true. Most jobs requiring superior intelligence require either a lot of education or a lot of experience and usually a combination of both. It also requires that their weak suit cannot be job hunting, resume writing, or interviewing.

[Nikia]

37. I personally think that Duers are above average as a group

From the quality of the discussion, I would guess that the average is at least the 80th percentile. I don't mean to put down anyone who might have a below average IQ, but many average and below people do not like to have thought provoking discussions.

[SOteric]

38. Possibly true,

again, this isn't meant as clinical research. It just a thread designed to have a bit of fun, mostly at the expense of Freepers.

Food for thought, however, is that many persons with average and above average intelligence don't enjoy irrational, adrenalin-provoking discussions. I know that there are many of those on DU as well.

Maybe we're a tad more balanced than we like to admit. ;-)

[ulysses]

39. Cheswick says I'm #2

even if only because I can dice an onion. I'll take that from someone with whom I've fought in the Great Nader Wars...

[kmla]

40. Like I always tell people -

my pool of knowledge (mostly useless) is wide, but it ain't very deep...

And the stuff my wife wants me to remember? Skips right off of the top of the pool like a flat rock.

:shrug:
