QUIZ: Are You Smarter Than A 3rd Grader?

Many of us are fairly satisfied with our level of intelligence. In fact, some of us might actually think of ourselves as being rather smart! As you are about to learn, however, not all of us possess the same level or type of intelligence, and, at times, we might find that we are not as smart as we think we are.

This little quiz is something that people around the world are finding to be quite telling. When we were young, and actively had a vocabulary assignment every week in school, we likely amassed a large amount of information. The type of information may be somewhat different than what we learn today. When we take a step back and try to answer questions that could be answered by a 3rd grader, sometimes the experience can be humbling (like the time I had to ask my grandson how to spell squirrel).

According to the originators of this quiz, 9 out of 10 3rd graders are able to pass the test. Do you think you are smarter than a 3rd grader when it comes to animal vocabulary? Give it a try. You just might be surprised with what you discover.
