I, Cue

I've now seen several links and references to a list of states and who they voted for, ranked by IQ. While I agree that people who voted for Bush might not be the brightest individuals, the whole thing kind of bothers me. Not because the numbers might well be inaccurate, but because I get annoyed when people act like IQ is THE measure of intelligence, instead of just how well you do on some standardized test that nobody even seems to remember taking. I think it's more important for a voter to recognize the issues and what's at stake than to be able to solve logic puzzles. Maybe I'm just bitter because my mom tells me I gave up on the IQ test. Of course, I doubt they told me it was anything important. If I were to take the test now, I'd probably do pretty well on it. I've done well on the online IQ tests I've taken. I don't think this means I'm smart in any practical way, though. Indeed, if I were forced to rely on my wits to survive, I'd probably be dead within the week. And I don't have physical strength or good looks to fall back on, either.

Anyway, here are some quiz results.

Wow, I'm pretty bitter today, aren't I?
