    Default OK so How smart are you?

    I got this in an email.

    Supposedly 96% of all High School Seniors FAILED this test....
    AND if that's not bad enough, 50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!!

    Take the test and be surprised at what we don't or do know. Click below:

    YEEHAW!!! 29! I missed the last ademendment ratified one... Thought it was gender with all the homo/gay crap going on. 29/30 ain't too bad for a public school boy.

    I got a 27 as well. Some of those were pretty basic (I thought) but some were not things that I would expect to see very often. Very interesting. Of course, one of the ones I blew I really thought I knew.

    Nope, not here. Although I have the excuse of more recent schooling.

    Just recently completed an American History course.... so, yah.

    But regardless, I never understood why knowing in WHAT year the last amendment was ratified. Wouldn't it be more important to know WHAT AMENDMENT was ratified? haha.

    some of the questions seemed rather pointless in determining "intelligence"

    but regardless, that's how school worked, and consequently it's all stuck in my brain.
