While we are on the topic of intelligence, or lack thereof, I thought you might enjoy this test (I certainly did). The DENSA test is a response to MENSA, I suspect.

What was your score?
My score was 11 out of 12 - I am above normal! (Question 1 gets them every time!!) .. and indeed, it was question 1 that got me, even though I knew it was a trick, even though I knew the answer was "yes", mysterious forces caused my hand to click "no" anyway!

I got 10 out of 12, although one of them was due to my lack of knowledge of baseball. The month question got me :(
I failed number four, I know nothing about baseball. I just put a zero there. So close to being a genious...

Got 11. How did I not see Moses?
I managed to get a perfect 12. Yay for me!
I got 11. I know nothing about baseball, and I remembered that "3" was the answer everyone was expected to give, so I said "1." Of course my disclaimer said it was question 4 rather than question 1 that got people every time...
