The test is from the ISI so they probably took an avarge from a bunch of 25 year old and younger. If that's the case then, yes, we are definatly smarter than them. You can't tell them that because they know everything and if you don't believe me just ask my 21 year old.

You got that right. When I was 21 my parents were dumb. It's amazing how much they learned as I got older!!

Yep... I have a 16 year old and an 18 year old who both know more than the rest of all mankind.

Oh... and I "don't understand" how it is nowadays...

I'm in my mid 30's and scored the median from those who posted so far... 78.79%. (26 out of 30 correct)

I find it hard to believe that the average from college educators was that low.

Not educators, students.
