But apparently Joanne is smarter than me. We watched the CBC's Test the Nation show whenever it was on and we followed along, writing down our answers as the show continued. In the end I ended up with a score of 50 out of 60, which apparently equates to an IQ of 127.
Compare that with the averages of the various groups in the audience below:
Surgeons 119
Millionaires 118
Fitness Instructors 112
Mayors 110
Radio DJs 108
Tattoo Artists 101
Celebrities 98
So big whoopee, I did better than most of them and I'm well above average, just three points off of 130, which is considered "superior" or something like that.
But I get to marry Ms. Smartypants who scored a 130 herself. She still won't let me live it down.
You can still do the test I think at www.cbc.ca/testthenation
If anyone does so, let me know how you did.

Is it mainly questions for those people on the west side of the Atlantic?
I'm never likely to get that high, I'm a decorator after all is said and done, but I think I'll give it a bash!
I scored a rather poor 109! A couple of the words I'd never heard of! Back to the dictionary I feel...
Oh John . . . nice try. Maybe indeed the IQ test is North American biased.
We'll give you the benefit of the doubt ;^)
I tried the test, but to be honest, I got a little frustrated with how long it was taking. Does that make me smart and impatient?
No Michelle, it doesn't make you smart and impatient, it makes you unsmart.
But it also makes you special, in that "I ride the short bus!" kind of way!
