A British child prodigy named Georgia Brown became the youngest member of Mensa this year when the Stanford-Binet IQ test revealed her to have a score of 152, making her a certified genius.
I was obviously skeptical of this little girl’s IQ score and the test methods used to figure out her intelligence, so I decided to run my own tests and see if I was more intelligent than her.
The first test I ran was to analyze what Georgia could do and compare them to my own skills.
Georgia:
She was crawling at five months and walking at nine months.Arjewtino:
I wasn’t allowed out of my crib until I was 2.
Georgia:
By 14 months, she was getting herself dressed.Arjewtino:
I still defer to The Princess and my gay friends for my fashion choices.
Georgia:
By 18 months, she was having proper conversations.Arjewtino:
I often slur my words, have a slight lisp, and my mom likes to remind me that no one could understand me until I was 4-years-old.
Georgia:
Puts her shoes on and on the right feet.Arjewtino:
I wore Velcro shoes from Target until I was 12.
Georgia:
Sings “I Can Sing a Rainbow” perfectly.Arjewtino:
I can karaoke to Green Day songs at blogger happy hours.
Georgia:
Counts to 10.Arjewtino:
I remember once trying to count to infinity and gave up around 150 when I realized I would never get there.
Georgia:
Uses words such as “arrogant” in conversation.Arjewtino:
I’m Argentinean. I was born arrogant.
Georgia:
Distinguishes between pink and purple.Arjewtino:
When The Princess and I painted our apartment last year, she asked me to choose between falu, mauve, and vermillion. They all looked like red to me.
Georgia:
SwimsArjewtino:
I wore flotation wings on my arms until I was 7.
Georgia:
Dances the ballet.Arjewtino:
Georgia’s got me there.
Georgia:
Draws an almost perfect circle.Arjewtino:
My dad’s an architect. He taught me how to draw a perfect circle before I learned how to play soccer.
Georgia:
Distinguishes between a square and a rectangle.Arjewtino:
I got a ‘D’ in Geometry in 10th grade and got busted for cheating on a quiz.
Georgia:
Explains difficult words to her friends.Arjewtino:
When my best friend Blue accused me of not being a responsible person, I told him, “I’m not responsible, I’m accountable.” When he asked me what the difference was, I shrugged my shoulders.
This test was obviously inconclusive. I needed an empirical examination.
So I took an online IQ test I found when I Googled “Stanford-Binet IQ test”. I spent 15 minutes answering a variety of questions designed to test my spatial, mathematical, and verbal skills. At the end of the test, I clicked for the results and navigated to this page:
Maybe a two-year-old is smarter than me.

She uses words such as “arrogant” in conversation, but can only count to ten? Idiot.
Kids are so damn smart. When my daughter was not even three, we were at a restaurant, waiting for our food, drawing on paper placemats. I was doing the usual dorky mother thing, and drawing shapes and asking her what they were. “Circle!”, “Twiangle!”, etc. Then to be sneaky, I drew a more complex shape. (Or so I thought.)
“Look at THAT interesting shape!”, I said.
She looked up at me with little interest - “Momma, It’s JUST a pentagon.” Then she looked back down and continued to scribble. Just like that, as if everyone knows what a pentagon is.
Here I was thinking I was all smart and teaching her something new.
I once took an online IQ test that said I have a 165 IQ, higher than Einstien. I believe it to be inaccurate.
Accountability is the obligation to admit when you’re wrong; responsibility is the obligation to actually get it right.
Accountability is easier. Stick with that.
I kind of enjoy the online IQ tests (I think they favor the pattern-recognition types, such as myself), but I think the scoring is suspect. I’ve seen my score swing as many as 30 points or so on different tests. I think they inflate your score to entice you to buy the report.
WiB; thanks for writing that…I was going to say the same thing!
AJT; at the end of the day you can still ride the roller coaster and she can’t. Take solace my friend.
Do I really need to make the height joke or did we all think it already?
Whatever. She’s probably a total bitch.
once..i signed up to help at an after school tutoring program in my neighborhood..til i realized..ummm… if your out of the 5th grade i prob cant help you with your homework…then… they let me drive the bus…
scary..no?
xoxo
she’s *british*, arjew. they’re all smarter than us because they sound smarter.
plus, people resent you for your handsome good looks and success already. add genius and nobody would want to talk to you 
but can she blog like you?
I thought it.
i’d like to see a 2 year old explain a word to her friends. and then i’d like to see her friends drool all over her in response.
and see, you can do that over many beers with friends so you have clearly got her beat. bitch.
You’ve probably had sex with many more people. But then, she’s not quite old enough to join a kickball league.

My 2 yr old pooped in the bathtub the other day, picked up the turd and threw it out on to the floor.
She can also count to 20.
