Those of you enjoying the "Brilliant Mind" quiz may enjoy this as well -- if you like proverbs, that is!

The Genius Test

I love quizzes like this and have made some of my own, but not of the proverb variety. I'm still puzzling over some of them.


BTW -- spelling counts on this one. The box you type the answer in will turn green when you get it right.

That test was way to complicated for me. I'm not good at that stuff. Dawn

It's certainly the most complicated quiz of this style I have tried. Most of mine are still blank.

Prior to this I had seen ones like:

88 = K on a P (88 Keys on a Piano) and I've made up my own like that to keep a classroom of AP students distracted once their exam period was over.

Proverbs are evidently much trickier!

I hate the fact that if you accidentally misspell a word, it erases your whole answer and you can't type anything in that field again.

But I realize it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I liked the "Funny Variations". I didn't like the test itself. I don't know many of those popular phrases, nor do I want to.

It didn't erase mine if I typed wrong -- what browser are you using?

To me it is odd that you would call them popular when many of them are very, very old sayings that still happen to be in current usage.

The Genius Test (oh how I wish) was fun. Infuriating, but fun.

Part I: I got to 34/40 off my own bat. In order to go to Part II, I *ahem* researched the remaining answers.

Part II: I made it to approximately 22/40 before starting to mutter curses under my breath and resorting to Google. Interestingly, someone has used all those same questions as a contest on her blog. She posted all the answers, too, one of which was obviously incorrect. I thought that was hilarious.

Part III: Here I just cut 'n' pasted the questions to look at later when my head stops throbbing.

EvilKimEvil, I was able to type several variations on an answer without anything being erased. This was lucky, since you had to have the exact spellings specified by the creator of the test. "Omelette", for example, was permitted, but "omelet" was not.

Thanks for posting that, MysticSong, I had a good time with it.
