28, The damn predicate one, and I don't know which other one I got wrong. Oh well...

 

[Atshen]

I got a B. 24/30.

 

[mycranium]

29/30. Stupid predicate!

My favorite question was "Which planet is closet to the sun?"

I figured it must be Earth, since it's got the most useless crap cluttering it up, then I realized they meant "closest." That question should have had a "none of the above" - Mercury would be the correct answer.

25/30, stupid american questions. And maybe that predicate one

 

[Leinad]

22, it was the yank questions that threw me... yes.

 

[Pacman]

30 out of 30 (I guessed on one). However, I would've titled this thread "How does your intelligence compare to a 12 year old?"

not what you typed - How does you intelligence compare to a 12 year old?

Yup, I had the same problem with that question, only backwards. I was looking for Mercury, then I thought "maybe they really mean closet"...

And all those yank questions also threw me off a couple times. Not trying to defend myself, but...

 

[Introvox]

29/30....not bad for a Canadian seiing that there's alot of american questions.

Oh well Dylan you're smart, and your folks had to shove it in everybody's face just to convince themselves....so what, you'll probably grow up to be a know-it-all jerk

or

You only know the answers to 30 questions....here's one for you Dylan

"Who was the bass player for The Doors" - hehehe

 

[beaglesandbass]

[furiously funky]

[stuie86]

i feel dumb now i got 21 *tear*

 

[lbanks]

26/30. I just guessed at most.

 

[puttz buster]

18, BUGGER, its all that rum I've been drinking.

 

[Bassman_Spike]

I got 17/30.
Im blaming the Americnising (technical term ) of the test like the other Aussie's who did the test.
Some of those were stupid questions though.
Least i got the right answer to the question that kid got wrong

 

[dTune]

19/30.. Quite focused on American history/stuff. Pretty much all of those went down the drain..

 

[Erlendur Már]

I got 20/30 IIRC..

But I'm Icelandic and didn't understand some of the stuff :þ

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

I got 20/30 IIRC..

I gave up when it said something like - who did we fight in 1812 and the answer was: Britain!!

Besides - it's not testing intelligence at all - just who was awake in class and can repeat parrot fashion, what the teacher said!!

Dylan said I'm stupid...

I know they never asked me about the Magna Carta when I was 12.

I only scored a 21. Pleh!

Yet this does not go to show that kids are smarter these days - they just know how to take tests better. Standardized testing, No Child Left Behind, etc., etc. There's so much emphasis on testing that these kids know how to best pick out A,B,C, or D, yet don't know what exactly they are answering.

For instance - this kid "knew" who signed the Magna Carta, but does he know what the Magna Carta is, and it's significance? I doubt it.
