I happened upon a competition / activist endeavor run by Best of the US. The aim of Smartest of the US: To raise public consciousness about the value of intelligence and to galvanize interest in recognizing intelligence as a valuable asset – as Kerry Grinkmeyer, the man behind both projects says:

“On January 20, 2009 a major change occurred in the White House. The IQ of the man of the house changed from 98 to 148. Wouldn’t it be great if this kind of information were recognized as important to the American voters…”

If you take the test by clicking on the banner below, I’ll get another test. If you go straight to the sight without clicking on the banner (I won’t be offended), I won’t.

I just took the test and found it tough, especially because it is time constrained. I found myself rushing a little, and when I purchased the detailed report, I found I missed on a number of questions that I kicked myself about. But such is the nature of the beast.

My SUS score was 163.5 which puts me fifth on the leader board for the year and first for this month. I fully expect that several of you guys will displace me, and enjoy doing so!! But I think I’ll be back to try again…

Lastly, I’ve proposed to Kerry that I would like to donate as prizes several copies of Brain Fitness Pro, and we’re working on the details of that…
