The world's most powerful nation yesterday failed the largest IQ test ever to have been administered to a group of people.
Over 120 million people simultaneously took part in the intelligence test across the USA.
The results have astounded world analysts, revealing that over 50 percent of those taking part have an IQ below 50 points. (A mongoose has an IQ of 43)
The test, which asked people to choose which of two men best represented the universal ideals of peace, freedom and prosperity was calculated to require only an IQ of over 50 in order to find the correct answer.
The test proposed one candidate as a draft dodger who had created the biggest budget deficit in history, reduced personal liberties and declared war twice over the previous four years. The second candidate was presented as a successful politician who had fought in a previous war, actively campaigned to end it, promised to get the budget deficit under control and restore personal freedoms, and build international relationships to avoid future conflicts.
The impact of the result - that over 50 percent of those tested, incorrectly chose the first candidate, may have long running repercussions as the world considers revoking America's driving license.*
*World driving licenses require a minimum IQ of 50 as the minimum required to avoid dangerous decisions, which could cause worldwide havoc.
