test your smarts
it has been requested that i provide this link to a better IQ test than the test provided by the human for sale meme. someone’s looking to start a war of the smarts. 
i have my grievances when it comes to standardized testing. i also think that “smart” is an abstraction on par with the word “freedom”, and people use it far too liberally for far too narrow of purpose.
some people are ignorant by circumstance, some by choice. some people have biological challenges that affect their ability to recognize certain patterns or hinder their memory retention or recall.
some people are intelligent by enhanced neuro-functionality, usually manifesting itself in certain situations like pattern or number recognition, recollection. but believe me, there are other forms of smarts. smarts developed by circumstance, conditioning, exposure…smarts in more subtle areas like comprehension, social adaptation. physical prowess can be a form of physical intelligence as in developed reflexes or sensitivity. people want to believe they are more or less capable than others. perhaps they are, and sure some have worked hard for it (or not worked as it were). but when it comes to abilities there are an infinite number to have, and i’m sorry…you don’t have them all.
so take the test that focuses mainly on pattern recognition and see how you do. this one is timed (though amply) but you might want to give yourself an uninterrupted period to complete it.
as for puppy coverage, hour 56…artan went a whole night without a potty accident. he is perfect.
