In 1911, two French psychologists, Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon, created the first modern intelligence test that measured intelligence quotient, “IQ.” The test classified individuals on a scale of intelligence from “moron” to “genius.”
Today, The American Psychiatric Association has developed a simpler test to determine whether one can be classified a “moron.” It is an easy 10 question, true or false, test.
OK, you know you’re not a genius. But could you be a moron? Just answer true or false on the following questions
- You believe Fox News is really a news channel.
- You believe the earth is only about 6,000 years old
- You believe all politicians, mostly Republicans and Democrats, are all the same.
- You believe the Confederate battle flag is just a benign symbol of southern heritage.
- You believe Barack Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya.
- You believe Jesus rode dinosaurs.
- You believe Sarah Palin has an IQ greater than 75.
- You believe the Iraq war was about weapons of mass destruction.
- You believe the way to end gun violence is to arm every man, woman and child… and indoor pet.
- You believe the theory of evolution is a liberal conspiracy.
If you answered “yes” to 8 questions, you are a true, bona fide “imbecile.” If you answered “yes” to 9 of the 10, your classification is one of “idiot.” If you answered “yes” to all 10 questions, congratulations, you are a pure “moron.”
The APA has proposed a simple, two-step solution to improving on such low levels of intelligence. Step one, remove your head from up your ass and smell the roses, not your own feces. Step two, turn off Fox News.

I think that list of 10 questions should be expanded. I would add:
If you believe the earth is flat!
I agree. There are many more questions that can be added, such as “Do you believe the sun revolves around Earth? Surprisingly (or not) one in four Americans believes that!
How bout “Do you believe that The Donald’s hair is real?”
Good one. My guess is dead squirrel.
I would add:
Do you continually vote against your own economic interests.
That is the true sign of a moron!
How about:
You believe reality TV is really reality TV.
You nailed it, Barb. How can anything be “reality” when you have a film crew around you?
Hey I got one, if you believe either of two democrats running for president won’t destroy what is left of our abused country. It’s stupid to want to renegotiate trade deals, we are America, we help the rest of the world so they don’t hate us. It would be stupid to build a border structure, how would the meth and heroin from the Mexican drug lords reach the democratic constituency? It would be stupid to scrutinize the Syrian refugees, we shouldn’t hurt their feelings, even if 0.5% want to see us dead. I’m sorry but your liberal new “minority is the new majority” mind set will be the end of us. People with faith should cater to those who practice sexual acts that are contrary to the bible, those damn Christians. Black lives matter! The police are barbaric idiots and purposely target minorities because they hate them, not because they don’t follow verbal commands and are disrespectful. Lets employ a democratic socialistic society and punish the big businesses that form our retirement funds. The rich are those who make over 200,000/household, they have too much while so many others are suffering. Forget that they have ambition, morals and wanted to better themselves. It isn’t fair! Lets radicalize small minority groups and complain when the majority says anything to the contrary.
