Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

Current events? One stupid question about Libya, and everything else was domestic American stuff. I soiled my ballot as a matter of principle - I'm going to post a picture of it on that site George was looking at.

You ever watched Jaywalking with Jay Leno. I'd bet those maroons wouldn't be able to answer a single one of them right.

Current events IQ?
Wouldn't that be knowledge, not IQ?

A person with high IQ may have no knowledge of current events.

10 of 11. I had thought I heard that the CDC posted a number of over 35%, so I figured I had a 50/50 on that question.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Of course Kenny. One of the definitions of intelligence is "knowledge of an event, circumstance, etc., received or imparted; news; information." So the measure of factual knowledge about some body of information forms the basis for a quotient.

Was your score that bad? :lol2:

See #4. I guess you wouldn't do well on a definition IQ test either.

Yes, apparently 98% of the American public are morons.

Actually, Mik, I disagree with your statement. I think you could be pretty smart, pretty well versed in the news, and still miss one or two of those.
