Damn you, rosie...
Again, I normally HATE these types of things, but friggen rosie had it on her page, so I had to try it. And of course not that it's a competition, but come on, there's some drive to beat everyone else...
I will say that I have a little bit of an unfair advantage, not because these types of tests favor middle-class white people, and I was brought up in those environs, but because I've always been kinda good at taking standardized, multiple-choice-type tests. I have no doubt that I don't deserve the 140 I got here, nor the 1300 I got on the SAT when I took it in 7th grade, or the 33 I got on my ACTs years later in high school. There's just a logic to writing and by extension, dissecting these sometimes trick questions. The other caveat is, of course, that it's only 16 questions, and there's absolutely no way that that can be truly representative, but on the other hand, the whole reason that I've never done an actual intelligence quotient test is that 1) I don't have the patience, and 2) I don't want to find out that I'm actually a moron.
Feel free to post results in the comments. Attractive women scoring particularly high (or low, or somewhere in the middle, for that matter) will receive extra special attention from me. :) But smart chicks really are hotter.
Now Playing: Annie - Come Together. From her recent album, Anniemal (get it? anniemal? Anyway...) Here's what the Wired reviewer said:
You gotta give Annie credit: It's no small feat to wedge sex kitten meows between flashy disco trills and keep your indie cred intact. The gentle arrangements on "My Heartbeat" are evidence of the Norwegian singer's Europop pedigree, but with mash-up master Richard X on board for "Chewing Gum," she's also destined for club-classic status. Anniemal bridges the chasm between Ace of Base's frivolity and Detroit electro's futurism, making it OK for stoic hipsters to indulge in pop pleasures. Uh, just don't tell their friends. - K.T.
We like sex kittens. Or sexy kittens. Wait, no...not actual kittens. But faggy pop, indeed, Amy. "My Heartbeat" and "Chewing Gum" are decent too...but I haven't gotten through the whole album yet. And we're just going to pretend they didn't compare her to Ace of Base. [shudder]
Damn, how did I sleep til almost 4pm?! Gotta get going on the weekend festivities! On the plus side, I'm exceptionally well-prepared to party all night over the next couple days!
