vovatI'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.
Hmm...some parts of that are correct, but I'm not "into partying." In fact, I generally don't like parties at all, and when "party" is being used as a verb, I'm even less likely to want to participate. Really, trying to determine someone's personality based on their political positions is an exercise in futility. I wouldn't say I'm "okay" with pot-smoking, either, although I don't think people should be thrown into jail for it.

Wow, I didn't know I was THAT old, relatively speaking. I figured I would be closer to the middle. I guess there ARE a lot of kids around these parts, though.
Wow, I'm pretty bitter today, aren't I?

You Are a New School Democrat |
 You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent. You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves. |
