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...)

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.
