I always thought of myself as a relatively intelligent person until I took this "See if your a moron test"!

Conclusion:....I'm a moron!, are you too? Take the simple test.




Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss
of intelligence.

Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing
it or not.

The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until
you've made your answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?



























Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do
something else.

Try not to hurt yourself.

If you said, bread, go to Question 2.



2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.'
What do cows drink?




























Answer: Cows drink water.


If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.

Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat.

Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature
such as Auto World.

However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.



3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house
is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink
bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is
a green house made from?


























Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.


If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading these???


Sure this goes on but it can start getting ugly. Dummy! Haha

ROFL - those are just a tiny bit evil mr. super-hunky ;)))

Seriously, given your introduction - I watched my brain LEAP from the "wrong answer" to "omg no! wait!!! that's not right!" :p before looking down at the answer. Funny...

Thanks smile

My daughter got me with that "cow-milk" one months ago. The only thing worse than being a moron is being a moron in front of your teenage daughter. whome

I fell for one of those recently. I got asked "what is correct - 'the egg yolk IS white', or 'the egg yolk ARE white'?"

I replied that the first answer was correct, only to get told "you see, I always thought eggs yolks were YELLOW!"

Bah, humbug at the third question! It sets a premise with the term "if", then offers a literal answer! Not to mention "green house" is two words whereas "greenhouse" is one.

If a plane crashes right on the borders between Canada and the U.S., where do they legally have to bury the survivors?

If you're in a race, and you pass the guy in second position, what position would you be in?

1. You don't bury the survivors.

2. Second place.

All correct.

If lemonade is made from lemons, and limeade is made from limes, you now know why I don't drink gatorade.

Or the old, old (1700's)classic - "How much milk do you get from an Irish bull?"


Slow down and do it right.

I love these kind of questions.

I failed at the second one, I thought Milk as well frown.

I got the others correct though.

Supposedly from an actual court record:

Lawyer to pathologist: "How many autopsies have you performed on dead people?"

Pathologist: "All my autopsies are on dead people!"

The egg yolks one almost got me, but otherwise I'm not a moron. Yay!

One time my brother and I were pestering my dad to take us to Dairy Queen. He got sick of hearing us whine and finally told us to get in the truck, we'll go. He drove to Dairy Queen, made a loop through the parking lot and took us back home. We forgot to specify that we wanted to go into the building, buy icecream and eat it. As you can see, I've been training for this all my life.



I'll figure it out eventually.
Until then you may want to keep a safe distance.

Maybe. But at least I would have provided a link!

Google "See if your a moron test" and I get 4,460,000 hits.

I suppose we all fit into the “moron” category at one time or another.

Here is one I hear a lot that I don’t think has been mentioned…

I hear a lot of people talk about a “hot water heater” … well, if the water was hot already, you wouldn’t need to heat it (keep it warm maybe? Hot water maintainer).

I think the proper terminology is “water heater”. Nevertheless, the most common term used is “hot water heater”.

And, Mr S-H, if it is any consolation to you, I’ve done some pretty stupid things too.

Take care,

Rick

Actually, someone had sent me a short snip of this test which was described in a srategic marketing trade publication. What it was really doing is showing how powerful influence and persuasion can be.

Most people get the cow milk one wrong because you are obviously being directed towards the word "milk". The word "water" is being blocked from your rational thinking on purpose to control your answer.

These *techniques* of persuasion (possibly considered a form of manipulation) are used on a daily basis everywhere you look. You really can't be stupid or you will get taken advantage of in a minute.

Anyone happen to notice that "Black Friday" literally just took over Thanksgiving? For every turkey on sale at the grocery store ad I heard there were 20 "Black friday" specials I was being bombarded with.

The strategic marketing depts of retailers just literally pulled off a new holiday. 10 bucks says it's here to stay!

Mr. S H, the cow milk didn't fool me. However it can be argued that baby cows do drink milk.

My teacher at school (age 10-11 class) did stuff like that. If you put up your hand and say "Can I go to the toilet?", she would reply in front of everyone "indeed, most people can go to the toilet". So you would make for the door, only to get called back and told that I never had been given permission to go.

And saying "would I be able to go...?" was met with the same tactic. The trick was to say "May I go?"

I got nabbed too and I'm a college student!

Actually green house and greenhouse is a trick. It if the former was a compound word like the latter, I would have thought glass.

Here's something to think about...

If steam whistles blow out steam, what comes out of a fog horn?

We're not morons; we're adults and have already had too much on our brains to think at this granular level. If we were 7 or 8 years old, it would be a different story.
