Find out how smart you are

Yay me!  No cheating, the questions aren't too hard.

Too easy. They should actually put some tough questions on that test.

Did the test a few times.

As a male whitebread I'm relatively dumb. My highest score came as a female of  Black/African descent.

I'm trying to figure out what ethnicity has to do with how smart or how not smart I am...

No kidding.  I got 25/25 correct, I figured the sub-100% meant that it was taking time or the size of the 100% correct group into consideration.  For race, I put in 'Other' because I'm not a damn statistic.  If that changed the results, that's pretty messed up.

why would you not want to know if race was or wasn't a factor?   Is that data that should be censored of something?

Who said anything about it being censored?  I just don't feel a need to participate in that aspect of the data collection, and they didn't have a 'Decline' option.

As Patrick McGoohan said, "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own."

you miss my point.   why would you not want to help in gathering data.

The score you get is the score you get... the race you are is the race you are.

my comment on it being censored was not to the site but to you.. do you think it should be censored?

Looking at your reply I see that what you appear to want is a way to not participate in the gathering of the data.   That is fine.. but I am curious...

Why would you not?  data is data.  it will have a margin of error... guys like you but... it might be useful in some way.

Useful to who?  There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.  Why would I want to give a white supremecist, liberal crazy person, black panther, or someone else with some other axe to grind fuel for their agenda?

My agenda is to claim that I'm a smarty-pants with a rapist-like wit, and that's it.  Anything past that, in terms of data gathering, conclusions of groups, etc, is not my interest.  If the quiz had 'Decline to specify' as an option, they could leave those results out of their data gathering, but they didn't, so I used the closest available.

This test was rigged.  It didn't ask any questions about World War II, the old Testament in the Bible, fishing, or guns.
