Will persecute other cultures for the sake of not being persecuted. The cognitive dissidence there is hilarious.

But fandoms can't being subculturist against jocks because subculturism = power + privilege.

105 out of 150. I'm told to actually pay someone to check my privilege for me.

.....what? There's no way to make a serious answer.

Also stereotyping everyone who likes football as being a jock.

I mean hell, I hate football, I hate jerk jocks, and I hate jerk jocks who obsess over football.

...But fuck if a buncha geeks don't also like football, ya kow?

Said Guardian quiz gets even funnier when you look at the answers and deliberately choose the ones that give as high and as low a score as possible (or even just submit a blank).

It's difficult to tell exactly how much of the quiz is an Onion-style parody and how much is them actually trying to be semi-serious. Some of the questions have answers that can be sensibly chosen, while some of them are balls-to-the-wall ridiculous.

I wasn't aware tumblr was supposed to be any kind of safe haven from anything, as far as I know, tumblr isn't supposed to be anything other than a blogging platform.. then again, maybe I've been using it wrong.

I'm glad that IQ tests are, from what I've heard, largely full of shit.  Because that's just fucking insane.

It's not. That does put me in the top percentile, but it's hardly unheard of.

The test describes itself as "not-entirely-serious," which should be a dead giveaway that it is a parody made by people who don't actually understand what "privilege" means. It's similar to that graphic that made the rounds a while back where bisexuals got +10 privilege or something.

It's funny; one of my favorite Tumblr bloggers is a hardcore gymnastics fan.

Ditto.  We don't know my exact score, but it's over 140, which is itself 3 standard deviations above the mean.  We're both in the top percentile.

Last time I had an IQ test performed, I sat at 147. Personally, I have to agree with Ravy in thinking IQ is overrated. At best it's an ability to connect dots and make inferences.

My last test put me at 142. If I were to take one right now it would be significantly lower due to the issues with pregnancy brain. Even the original test maker saw the inherit flaws in the test.

This first intelligence test, referred to today as the Binet-Simon Scale, became the basis for the intelligence tests still in use today. However, Binet himself did not believe that his psychometric instruments could be used to measure a single, permanent and inborn level of intelligence (Kamin, 1995). Binet stressed the limitations of the test, suggesting that intelligence is far too broad a concept to quantify with a single number. Instead, he insisted that intelligence is influenced by a number of factors, changes over time and can only be compared among children with similar backgrounds (Siegler, 1992).

IQ tests have many flaws, but one of the biggest is that it's almost impossible to truly quantify intelligence. The same test given to 5 people from 5 different cultures, levels of education, social classes, etc. will result in wildly different scores even if all of them are actually exactly the same intelligence.

Here’s an important thing: You will never be owed sex. At any time. From anyone. There aren’t enough favors or good deeds you can do, and there will never be a large enough donation you could make in the Morality Bank to guarantee future sex. Do good things or be nice to a woman because they’re the things you want to and should do, but remember that one of the most important aspects of gettin’ all up in them guts is not believing that said guts are yours for the up-gettin’-in by right.
