Or maybe it's just us dummys like Aerosmith lol! You want to be smart? Listen to Beethoven! You have to go to the link to see the charts with Aerosmith on it. Aerosmith is on the second graph 3rd down on the left! www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/10/23/does-intelligence-level-reflect-what-music-you-listen-to-fascinating-chart-says/Does Intelligence Level Reflect What Music You Listen To? Fascinating Chart Says…It turns out one’s level of intelligence really can affect what type of music they listen to. A new (not so scientific) study discovered the many musical tastes based on SAT scores. Software application writer Virgil Griffith looked at the average test scores for students at certain schools and then used Facebook to determine what kinds of music students at those schools like to listen to. The study found that the most brilliant tend to listen to like Beethoven, Sufjan Stevens, Counting Crows, U2, Radiohead and Bob Dylan.Big names in the average category include The Eagles, John Legend, Maroon 5, Elton John, Johnny Cash and Rascal Flatts. Not so smart? Study subjects might listen to Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Beyonce. There were even some country stars such as Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood among the low-scorers’ favorites. Take a look at what “most” people with your SAT score are listening to:

I guess I am double dumb...Aerosmith and Carrie Underwood! In fact Carrie and Aerosmith are almost in the exact same place on the chart!

Seems more a test of pretension. U2, Aerosmith and Tom Petty being my top three seems I am all over the board. As a high school drop out and having never took the SAT's I couldn't tell you where I am even for real. You would think ACDC would be down there with gospel both being at the heart of there genre, but look where they fall

I didn't look at the chart since we don't have SAT's here and I had a feeling it would irritate me and I am in a good mood (it's Friday)!
I like everything from Gregorian Chants and Classical through to Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, I usually detest Rap and House music but I even like the odd song in those genre's.
Listening to Aerosmith should actually improve your skill set if you join websites like this one. You learn to spell, type, debate and learn all about different cultures around the world.

No SAT here either. However, my experience with our own national tests has been that they are an extremely poor measure of intelligence. And not so much because of the way they were thought, but because of the way they were viewed, used/ taken into consideration for university studies, the kind of pressure they created and the way they ended up being approached by the kids and the teachers preparing them. Basically, the way our national baccalaureate (also called "maturity exam") was originally thought, more than half the kids who started school (first grade) were not even supposed to get to it. It would have been useless for them because of its limited (meaning mostly theoretical) focus. And at the same time, there were plenty of real and good professional/ vocational schools after eighth grade. Everybody was supposed to be directed towards what they could be good at and we were supposed to have good professionals in all fields. But then there was this kind of stigma, like you weren't a good enough human being if you liked music and you chose to play the flute and go to a vocational music school like the youngest daughter of one of our neighbours. I remember how her parents were originally so disappointed in her because she wasn't more like her older sister, who studied a lot and got good grades in theoretical subjects and went on to a theoretical high school and got good grades for her "maturity exam" and went on to study law. Ironically, guess what sister wishes the other one's life now. The fact that certain jobs were seen as the jobs to have and others got a sort of a "for losers" label. Parents obviously didn't want that kind of label on their own kids, so they fought hard to push them towards the "respectable" paths. Pressured the kids to be good at the theoretical subjects, so they could get into theoretical schools after eighth grade and avoid the professional/ vocational ones. They pushed money into private tutors to get their kids on a decent level and when all these tactics failed, they resorted to bribery and blackmail. This also created a culture of cheating among kids. Particularly among those in former professional schools turned into theoretical ones because hey, grades for theoretical subjects were being artificially kept up and there wasn't much of a demand for professional schools anymore. This also made national tests get easier and easier because the average level of the kids who were getting to the point of taking them got lower and lower. And this doesn't mean kids got dumber. Just that the number of kids who got to the point of taking those tests got higher because almost everybody ended up in theoretical schools. Even though they shouldn't have because not everybody's made for that. To make things worse, the level getting lower encouraged even more kids to go into theoretical schools after eighth grade and it just got to the point where you're a loser if you don have a university degree. Which is completely ridiculous. During university, I had colleagues who couldn't differentiate extremely simple functions like f(x) = x, colleagues who didn't know what a damn micro-ammeter measures and... the icing on the cake, a colleague who couldn't get the order of operations right! Really, he got into university to study electronics and couldn't get 1 + 1*1 right! I also had a colleague who did nothing but memorize entire courses. Hard work may be something that deserves respect, but I'm pretty sure this approach can never make you a good engineer. She barely passed exams that actually required thinking, not just storing huge amounts of data into one's brain. And the sad thing is that she was the rare hard-working, but still non-cheating case. There are way too many people who pay their way through an university they weren't even remotely prepared for in the first place and then bitch about how they cannot find a job in their field. Tiny problem: they might have the damn degree, but they're not at all qualified to do that kind of job. This tiny problem becomes a huge problem if nepotism or something of the kind does get them a job in the field they have a degree for. Especially if the field is medicine or something like that. In the meanwhile, praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster may be a safer bet than calling a plumber if your pipes burst. Because you know, there are no professional schools putting out good plumbers anymore, those who end up doing these jobs aren't really qualified for them and hate doing them, hate life and the universe because they're not lawyers or doctors as their parents told them they should one day become. Anyway, rant over... I know, I'm really pissed at the current state of our education system!

It isn't just your country or even region, the education standard equivalency tests just don't add up anywhere. No offence to the US peeps, but most of the tests are in metric...
I swear Steven Tyler has ...ADHD...it explains most of his .... erratic behaviour and his energy on stage at his age, sans drugs, so to speak!
