Was posting about Daniel Tammet's special "BrainMan" on the Science Channel and saw this, so thought I'd post it. Now I have to go back and take the quiz myself. :D

I don't think this is even a mediocre measure of intelligence, merely what scientific information a person has learned. I even guessed on a few of them and got them right.

Hi Blessed Mom! :sunny:
I'm back, daughter took over the computer for awhile.
I got a 70.
You should check out "Brainman" on the site also. It's Daniel Tammet, the guy who holds the world record for pi who is autistic and able to communicate freely how he does it. He also meets Kim Peek (the real "Rainman")
