How smart are you?

Just for funsies. We may have done this before but perhaps not exactly this way.

Note : For the purposes of this thread a forum poster, forum regular etc is defined as someone who has made at least 150 post in the 2+2 politics forum in the last year, basically I don't want you to count the people who pop in for the election threads, make 50 or so dumb posts and then leave.


So, in your mind, take the population of forum regulars and split them into 10 evenly populated groups with the dumbest 10% of the forum being in group 1 and the smartest 10% being in group 10 and so on. Again 10% of the forum population have to be in group one even if they all happen to be smart compared to the general population. Which group do you feel that you personally belong to?

For extra credit (mods delete if not allowed) imagine that these people somehow became forum regulars. What group do you think they would fall into?

A) Barrack Obama

B) Sarah Palin

C) Ron Paul

D) Glen Beck

E) Jon Stewartd

F) The average Glen Beck Viewer

G) the average Jon Stewart viewer

H) The OP


Damn it all I knew I was going to misspell a word in this thread. So standard that it would be in the poll where I can't edit it.

Re: How smart are you?

A) Barrack Obama -- 90%

B) Sarah Palin -- 10%

C) Ron Paul -- 60%

D) Glen Beck -- 30% (this kind of depends whether you are on team evil or team stupid)

E) Jon Stewartd -- 70%

F) The average Glen Beck Viewer -- 10% (only because that is as low as I can make it)

G) the average Jon Stewart viewer -- 40%

H) The OP -- 60% (Seems like a smart guy but then again he's into AC so how smart can he be, really?)

Re: How smart are you?

I'm definitely in the smartest 10%. I'm not saying I'm really smart, I'm just saying 90% of people are incredibly dumb. But yeah, I also think I'm smart.

Re: How smart are you?

I meant to put 4, instead I put 6. I think that actually makes me a 3.

It's compared to forum regulars, not the populace as a whole.

Re: How smart are you?

do we include gimmick accounts in our estimation of where we rank in terms of smarts?

Re: How smart are you?

The awesome thing is that you can just change the title of the poll to "Who is the most arrogant?" and use the same results.
