Are you a genius? | Comments

This quiz was clearly prepared by someone with no experience of what is commonly called genius. When last I was tested some 30 years ago, my IQ was 178 and my GRE 35 years ago put me in 0.5 percentile of the population. I am not so physically strong as I was following strokes and a coma, but until age 60, I intimidated friends with casual and unwitting displays of strength, just as my brothers do. I am fully trilingual in speech, read Latin and Greek in addition to another six European languages and have been told even by professors of literature that I have an unusual command of several literatures, and literature is not really my field. The headmaster of my prep told me years after I left that I was terrifying to have in class because of my off-handed corrections of teacher errors. Despite too many years of education, I am not an academic. They are simply too slow and hidebound in their thinking. And despite prompting by the quiz, I do not suffer from megalomania. I have simply been blessed (or possibly cursed) by genetic advantages and a nurturing environment, unlike "some mute, inglorious Milton." You may be able to see the point by this time: The best rating I came up with on this fatuous quiz was "smartie"? I think not. By the way, you have a persistent error on this site. You seem unable to spell the word "your" correctly. Yeah, I know. That's a tough one. I would rate this quiz 1.2 out of 10.

Silvercat, allow me to aide you in your attempt to sound intelligent. "Truly though, my own fault for doing it; the lack of effort, sense and a puerile stereotype of genius was clearly evident by the first question." Truly, it is my own fault for taking this quiz; the lack of effort and common sense paired with a puerile stereotype of genius was clearly evidenced by the first question.

If cameron is a genius, he/she must be going by Wechsler. Stanford-Binet has genius at 164 or higher. 140 is superior intelligence, not genius. Wechsler has 140 as very superior, but doesn't mention genius anywhere.

And yes I like to read, but that has nothing to do with intelligence. You could read all day and have an IQ of 70.

But this quiz is really stupid. I am definitely smarter than a wrestler. If I said no I wasn't strong, I'd bet anything I'd still get the wrestler. Heck, I'm probably smarter than the quiz maker.

What a ridiculous quiz.

"Smartie?" No-one with half a brain would be willing to be called that on a regular basis.

Truly though, my own fault for doing it; the lack of effort, sense and a puerile stereotype of genius was clearly evident by the first question.

People can be strong AND smart, so the strength thing doesn't really have anything to do with this quiz, any more than your favorite color, whether or not you have a nickname, what letter your name starts with, and what you're wearing do.

These thing do not measure 'genius-ness'. I am a wrestler and I have an iq of 125. I got the result smartie, but onlty b/c I am not 'strong'. The quiz enforces negitive stereotypes about geniuses and wrestlers. They are not opposites. I may not be a genius, but I am smart enough to know this is a bulls--- test

Well I get good grades, and I am on the wrestling team at school.

Reading and playing sports have nothing to do with intelligence

I play sports and still get atleast A-'s

Just because I can knock out a troll with my bare fists, doesn'nt mean I can't recount every detail of caractacus's uniform and calculate 27-dimensional fluid dynamics in Babylonic cuneiform.

lol everyone assumes if you like books/writing you're quiet and/or reserved. i'm an extrovert and i talk way too much. and i'm obsessed with reading/writing. *sigh*

This quiz was poorly made. I am strong and smart. Whoever made this clearly has no concept of what a genius is.

I don't think it really makes sense to have a quiz to find out how smart you are instead of a test...

A+ is not my average my average is probably like a B+ lol

I think whoever made up this quiz was feeling a little too weak to do his/her homework for this test, meself... I'm a certified genyus with a captial J!

I am a smartie but as of now I don't get good grades. I'm flunking with one of my subjects.I've been honest...It's kinda hopeless.

This quiz seriously doesn't tell me much. So i made my own it's purely based on fun. How smart are you?(

i am a genius 11yrs old and correct my teacher 7-9 times a day on average have an IQ of 140 and still more gangsta than any of u geeks will ever be hahahaha

I don't think having a 3959 out of 4 average is smart.

YES! I am a genius! (Actually, I'm smarter than my teacher)<-----That's not a joke.

Smartie
-I'm not surprised!

This quiz sucks.

What a poor strutcted quiz to determine whether a person is a genius or not.

Sorry I meant 3.959 See in an nit smart.

...it said I was a wrestler, but i'm SMART too!! Actually, i'd rather be smart, and strong, and I AM!

(BTW i am Zuko_Azula_DarkDrag on and Zuko/Azula_DarkDrag on, but it keeps making me change it! (my name))

I got Smartie. That is true, but I really am not a nerd! My average grade is A+ or A not trying to brag!!

What does how strong I am have to do with how smart I am???? I got Smartie, which is fairly true.
