@futurebird mozart sure was music smart
These people are experts about "smarts" clearly.

Well before I saw this ... graph? Ad? Assault on reason? I *thought* I was pretty smart, but now my brain is running out of my ears.
I don't know what's worse... the pointless levels, the not-a-pie-chart format, that percents don't add to 100?
Why is it a circle?It's like someone explained the concept of "multiple intelligences" to someone incapable of understanding that concept.
Anyway, I'm told this kind of 'content' is "the future"
I bet the numbers are made up. From nowhere.
@futurebird they're trying to get you wound up about it on purpose, so that you engage with the ad and do whatever thing makes them money
As a B.A., English I appreciate that they assigned 86% to the least likely zone and called it WORD SMART

I don't see ads very often. So when I do I'm kind of astonished.

@futurebird This image forces me to evaluate my commitment to nonviolence.
Same. Let's start a gang.

@futurebird I will throw out the other 49 things I have to say, and simply ask:
Why is the only woman of the four "self-smart," and why is it someone whose life would justify a long and deep conversation about what—exactly—it means to be self-smart?
I get the feeling these four people were selected as "an uninformed person's idea of notability." By someone with no interest in anything except generating clicks. And everything else is arbitrary.

Sometimes seeing other people's view of the Internet makes my jaw drop. So many ads, so much pointless animation.

I know the notion of boiling a frog is a myth.
But.
This is boiled frogs. If people could only see how bad it's gotten they would recoil in horror.

@futurebird @jztusk @catmisgivings Growing up today I probably wouldn't be interested in computers.

@futurebird @jztusk @catmisgivings
for a long time I was one of those pedants who told people "real frogs jump out, unless their brains have been physically removed." and, you know, I hoped most real people would "jump out" as well. I knew, already, some did not. But ...
*sigh*
these days I usually don't bother to corrrect people.

@futurebird pictures think in me, terrible graph!
(that graph is a remarkable combination of the worst features of pie charts and spiral staircases.)

@futurebird what gets me is that, apart from Einstein, I'm pretty certain that there's just one person with a bunch of different wigs.
That's what "self smarts" will do i think.
