Dumb...me?

I am currently on my second glass of red wine...it's Friday night after all. And it's been a day when I could willingly throw some teenagers off the building.

There is no way I can think of something to blog about so I'm going to go on and do a tag. A while back, I was tagged by Guria for a number of tags and I had previously attempted only one with the intention of using others whenever I suffered from blogger's block.

Although I am not currently suffering from blogger's block, I do have tipsy-wine-syndrome...

So here goes...

It's the HOW DUMB ARE YOU tag. (For the record, I consider myself very intelligent but more on that in another post...)

The more [x]’ s the “dumber” you are.

[x] Gum has fallen out of your mouth when you were talking

[ ] Gum has fallen out of your mouth when you were NOT talking

[x] You have run into a glass/screen door

[x] You have jumped out of a moving vehicle

[x] You have thought of something funny while walking by yourself

[x] Laughed, then watched people give you weird looks

So far: 5

[ ] You have run into a tree/bush.

[x] You know that it IS possible to lick your elbow

[ ] You have tried to lick your elbow… a few times

[ ] You never knew that the Alphabet and Twinkle Twinkle Little star have the same rhythm.

[ ] You just tried to sing them.

So far: 6

[ ] You have tripped on your shoelace and fallen.

[ ] You have choked on your own spit .

[ ] You have seen the Matrix and still don’t get it.

[x] You’ve never seen the Matrix.

[ ] You type only with two fingers.

So far: 7

[ ] You have accidentally caught something on fire

[ ] You tried to drink out of a straw, but it went into your nose/eyes.

[ ] You have caught yourself drooling.

[ ] You have fallen asleep in class and fell outta your chair

So far: 7

[ ] Sometimes you just stop thinking

[x] You are telling a story and forget what you were talking about

[ ] People often shake their heads and walk away from you

[ ] You are often told to use your “inside voice”.

[ ] You use your fingers to do simple math

So far: 8

[ ] You have eaten a bug

[ ] You are taking this test when you should be doing something more important

[x] You have put your clothes on backwards or inside out, and didn’t realize it

[ ] You’ve looked all over for something and realized it was in your hand

[x] You have ran around naked in your house. (What's so dumb about that?)

So far: 10

[ ] You repost bulletins because you are scared that what they say will happen to you if you don’t.

[ ] You break a lot of things.

[ ] Your friends know not to use big words around you.

[ ] You tilt your head when you’re confused

[ ] You have fallen out of your chair before

So far: 10

[ ] When you’re lying in bed, you try to find pictures in the texture of the ceiling or wall

[x] The word “ummmmm” is used many times a day. (No fair...I'm a psychologist...I have to listen to people and 'ummm' is quite common!)

Total: 11/37

I am 11/37 times 100 = 29.75% dumb.

In other words, I'm 70% smart. Good reframe, huh? (FYI, I think I'm more than 70% smart)

Feel free to take on the tag if you wish!

Until next time,

Cheers!!!

  2. You have a good dumb quotient there. I mean its good to be a lil dumb sometimes. Being smart all the time is so boring. 30:70 ratio is nice :)

  5. Friday evening! You wrote the post on a Friday evening, I am writing this comment on Friday Morning. Interesting, no? And no, I don't have a time machine - Explaining it seeing how you took the dumb quiz to see how dumb you are, how dumb is that? (Just playing with words, don't be offended).

    I might take this tag and I can guarantee you that I am dumber than you are..at least according to this quiz...

  6. lol!!!!

    So how is the 70% smarter woman feeling now?? Hope she hasn't thrown any one down the terrace :D

    Nice tag this is but it is smarter to stay away from this, why even try to prove that u are not dumb is my logic!! :D

  9. Haha I've been seeing this tag go around, and honestly, I think the quiz is a 100% dumb (yet entertaining). :P If those were the statements to judge my intelligence, then there's a real problem with whoever created its definition of intelligence, lol. And clearly darlin, you're way more than 70% intelligent. ;)

  10. @ Renu: Welcome to my blog! You are right in that some of the statements are such that almost all of us would have done it...

    @ G: Oh I reckon I'm more than 70% smart ;) So that would probably be boring, eh?

    @ Mahmud: YEs, the fact that I could do the calculation at the end suggests I am smart! :P

    @ Nu: Red wine and blogging is actually quite sad on a Friday night...but given that I'm trying to save money, makes sense. :)

    @ Richa: Hmm...how did you read the post on Friday morning? :P Yeah the whole time diff is amazing isn't it. And yes, pretty sad I'm blogging on Friday night and I do reckon doing this tag is a sign of being dumb but in my defense, I'd had a bit too much wine! :P

    @ Smita: Agree that doing the tag is dumb in itself...but like I told Richa...I'd had a bit too much of wine! :P

    @ Titaxy: Hehe...thank you!

    @ BM: Yep! It's trying to show us no one is perfect! :D

    @ Saya: Welcome!! And thanks! :)

    @ Archana: I concur! (See...trying to show off my intelligence now!)
