The Monkey Anti-Christ
Holy crap, this guy stole my idea for my At.Risk. project.
And, if I were to make an IQ test (since I am now a survivor of a five! hour! IQ test) I would totally have Dr. Scott as my fill-in-the-censor-beep example.
Another little puzzle in my IQ test would be to solve what this acronym stands for: IHOP.
Of course you would be wrong because you, and mostly everyone, would say, "Easy, that stands for International House of Pancakes!" But this would be a level seven question because it does not stand for a restaurant that serves a tasty breakfast with hepatitis, but for the International House of Prayer. Which, from searching their website, seems to been named IHOP in all sincerity and without any irony at all.
In the what-doesn't-belong-in-the-picture section I would have the testees (ha!) look at this website and tell me what about this idea makes me (the tester) so uncomfortable. You'd get this one right, because it is only a level four IQ question, when you would say that what the Revelation Generation Emergency Backpack is missing is a Bible and this obvious omission is what makes the tester so nervous about the people buying this.
A level six IQ question in this section would be to look at another page of the aforementioned website and tell me what is wrong/right about posting a special report emphasizing a flu pandemic pamphlet from the CDC. The testee might get a little confused with this situation and say that it is strange that Jim Bakker's new ministry for God involves flu pandemic, but that's not the part emphasized in the test, it's that Jim Bakker wants you to call him for more tips and tricks about the pandemic (at 417. 339. 4333).
