Ever wonder if you're smart or dumb? Thanks to the wonders of MSN quiz's predictive skills based on various life traits, wonder no more. (Hey, it killed fifteen minutes waiting here in the car outside the store...)

2. Score---Smart. Oldest child? I am the oldest child. Also the only child...by default.
3. Score---Dumb. Left-handed? I'm right-handed.
4. Score--Dumb. Occasional drug-use? Nah, I don't I take drugs occasionally, though define "occasionally."
5. Score---Dumb. Regular drinker? I don't drink alcohol regularly. Very rarely, actually.
6. Score---Smart. Overconfident? I don't overestimate myself, though I do think self-love is not so vile as a sin as self-neglect. (Shakespeare, anyone?)
7. Score---Smart. Night owl? Well, I kinda do stay up late sometimes.
8. Score---Hmm. Funny? Dunno, am I funny? Maybe I'm dumb for not knowing.
9. Score---Smart. Early-reader? Yeah, I taught myself to read at age four.
10. Score---Dumb. Cat-owner? I don't have a cat. (My cousin Allie must be a genius. So must our dear friend Sprite.)
11. Score---Dumb. Anxious? I'm not anxious, though just because you're paranoid doesn't mean....
12. Score---Dumb. Liberal? No, I'm not politically liberal.
13. Score---Dumb. Musical? I am SO tragically NOT musically talented.
14. Score---Dumb. Lost virginity late? Then good grief I am dumb. (Oh, I'm only kidding. Ahem.) Dumb expression anyway, "lost" virginity, like you're walking along one day and wow, where'd I misplace that abstract designation I was born with?
15. Score---Dumb. Blue-eyed? My eyes are not blue.
16. Score---Hmm.  Extroverted? I'm not shy but I can be very quiet, or I can be extremely outgoing.
17. Score---Shrug. Tall? Is five feet seven and one-half inches tall?
18. Score---Gosh. Thin? I have a history of borderline eating disorders, starving myself, over-exercising, so wow, maybe I was a teenage genius.
19. Score---Smart. Active projects? I do always have projects going on. Right now I have one that involves wondering how long my cousin and my kids are going to keep shopping?
20. Score---Smart. Suckle the pap? (Not perverse, that's an Irish-ism.) Okay, yes, I was breastfed, gee, thank you, Mom! Whoo-hoo, in your faces, formula bunch!

So, the conclusion is I am rather dim at that. Maybe now I can ride special buses on Wednesdays.

Well, if your dumb, that means the rest of us is retarded. I know this because you write real purdy. Now that i know what paps are, im going to get me some.

Oldest sibling = yes. +1
Lefty = no.
Take drugs occasionally = did not define "occasionally," but I'll say yes. +2.
Drink regularly = yes! +3.
Don't overestimate yourself = maybe I'm not the best person to judge, but I suspect I underestimate myself more often than not, so +4.
Night owl = not really, not anymore, though I'll sometimes stay up past midnight on weekends.
Funny = ER thinks so, so +5.
Early reader = yes, +6.
Cat owner = no. Hell no.
Anxious = yes. +7.
Liberal = not really---only conservatives think I'm liberal, liberals think I'm conservative.
Took music lessons = A couple, but I don't think I can count this one.
Lost virginity late =  :bluesad: +8.
Blue eyes = yes, +9.
Quiet = yes, +10.
Tall = no, +11.
Thin = I was overweight a year ago but I'm thin now, so I guess I'm smarter? +12.
Busy with projects = yes. +13.
Breastfed = yes. Still am when I can get the stuff. +14.
Don't smoke = quit a couple of years ago so I guess I am getting smarter. +15.

I suppose this test is based on the majority of individuals and not on that one individual.

Because my younger sister is left-handed, and if use I.Q. to measure intelligence, then she is more intelligent than I, because she has a higher I.Q. than I. Which would also raise questions about the oldest sibling in the family being the smartest. Of course, if you were talking about the best looking sibling.
