I got 21 but it says only 12.5 % better than average so not so great . ---

It’s just a trivia quiz, which really has nothing to do with intelligence. I scored 28. ---

I got a 25. I got a stupid math one wrong - either that or the selections were wrong. ---

I got 24 and am 27.2% smarter than average… Hmmm seems kind of low ---

1. Why would not knowing what year Elvis died, or not know who sings “Hit em Up” make me stupid? ---

I got the same as Cowboy - 24 and 27.2% ---

26, with the average 18.7 so far. Man, that sucked. I felt the same freezing up and brain-emptying I felt on school tests, esp. with that clock going. I think I am smart in my decision not to go back to school ever. ---

23.6. I can live with that - considering I haven’t the foggiest idea about beer questions! 😃 ---

I got a 27, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out how knowing which company makes an “Evolution” is any measure of innate intelligence. (I know the answer, but it’s still a dumb question.) The only one I’m pretty sure I got wrong was the rapper one. That was an amusing waste of 60 seconds, but it doesn’t really prove anything. Stranger ---

I’m smart enough not to waste my time taking stupid internet “smartness” quizes. I don’t know what score that will give me, and I don’t care. ---

I also got a 24, but unlike \*\*psycat90 \*\* and **Cowboy8467** , my 24 makes me 28.9% smarter than average in this trivia/history/how-fast-can-you-click-your-mouse test. ---
