Quiz: How Smart Is Your Human?

May 29, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat52 Comments

Does your human measure up to my exacting criteria?

Recently my friend Katie found a cat intelligence quiz and was a little put out because she didn’t score very well. But how could she — the quiz was written by a human and humans don’t really know that much about cat intelligence. We know what makes us smart… and we also know what makes humans smart in relation to us cats. So I thought I would come up with an intelligence quiz for humans. Let’s see how yours does! (Note: make sure the page loads completely before you begin, or your humans may seem dumber than they actually are!)

    What a rude awakening to find out that I am only an average human!
    Great fun though.

    I came out as Meh. I am sure it is because I haven’t purchased a special cat bed but that’s because the kitties like to snuggle at night.

    Well, our mom scored “pretty smart.” That’s because we trained her well. Great test, Sparkle!

    My Human did pretty well on this quiz, better than I think she really deserves. But that’s okay–I am sure there is PLENTY of room for improvement. That was an excellent quiz, by the way. How did your Human rate?

    Sparkle, I still have to go read today’s post, but I meant to say yesterday: No, I don’t think it is weird that you talk to your toys. I think it *might* be a little weird if they start talking back, though.

    Average is what my human is. I think I was actually being a little darn on some of those questions. Maybe Tommy (the human will get a clue) that is about ME!

    OK, TW scored mediocre. She must’ve lied. Some answers kinda didn’t apply. Like she’s always petting and touching me but never tries to pick me up so we had to ay she pats me on the head sometimes. I never scratch on the furniture so we made up that answer too.

    Now this is the right type of IQ test for human instead of those ones that test their *knowledge* in human stuff this one has the burning question of cat intuition solved. My Mom scored an above average on the test I think it is the feeding and no restriction policy that makes me a good trainer as she can not say no to my meows.

    Our Human is “Pretty Smart”. Would have been higher but for that last question about the litterbox. He cleans the 4 boxes evry day, (more than “a few times a week” but not “stands at attention waiting for use”).

    I came out average but that is so wrong! My kitties don’t have a lot of store bought toys because they don’t play with them. That track thing – collected dust. Scratching post – avoided like the plague. Feather thing on a stick – meh. Bags and boxes – not so much. Crumpled up paper Yay! Crumpled up losing lottery tickets – Yay! Dry cat food bits – the best! And yes, – I pick up Frankie and snuggle her and she hates it – too bad! The Beebster – always attached to a human…I could go on here – but just ask Frankie and BB – they’ll tell ya that they are spoiled rotten!

    Well when I saw this I KNEW that Glogirly HAD to take the test. I needed revenge after all…given my horrible cat IQ test scores and all.

    So I think she lied because she scored average. Meh. I would have been a little harder on her. More points should get knocked off for all the times she tries to pick me up when she knows better. But she does keep my salmon cabinet stocked…so I don’t really want to rock the boat.

    ; ) Katie

    Pee Ess from Glogirly – SUCH a cool test! Very fun and great descriptions. …of course the geek in me is all in awe of how you actually set it up and made it function! ; )

      The test part was pretty easy – it is a WordPress Plugin! Actually finding the right plugin and putting together the extra pages and the time involved in hunting out the right photos was the hard part! And then my human needed an extra plugin to make it all work the way it should.

      BTW, it is actually pretty hard to score smart in this quiz! And a little bit easier to score dumb — although I can see that so far none of my readers (at least the ones that dared comment) have scored dumb! I am impressed with the ones who scored pretty smart — MY human only scored average.

    So our mom turned out to be “pretty smart” too, which just means that while we have her trained fairly well, there must be room for improvement on her part!
