www.thepregnancytester.com I assume thats the site... It is rather worrying that someone would believe it though.
The common theme here of intelligence vs. common sense really misses the point. There are three factors that are not necessarily correlated that explain this. 1) Intelligence 2) The ability to work hard over a long period of time 3) Gullibility Your standardized test scores indicate your intelligence (to a certain extent) and your grades indicate your ability to make a sustained effort. To get into a highly selective school, you have to excel at both, or be from a "legacy" family. Neither of these qualities have any bearing on one's gullibility. I've graduated from and/or attended some of the most selective schools in the country, and let me tell you: April Fools' Day pranks work there very well! ;) You should throw your smart, but gullible friend a baby shower and give her boxes of Depends adult diapers, and let her know that a baby who can fit into them will soon be exiting her ******.
I would say that there's a difference between being gullible and being idiotic enough to believe that an online test can tell you if you're pregnant. Still, I go to a decent school (not Ivy League, but still fairly competitive) and among all the "smart" people are some of the most unintelligent people I have ever met. The general impression I got, both when applying to college and when talking to said unintelligent people, is that in many cases a sappy essay, a full list of extracurriculars and/or a strong record of community service will often get you much further than actual intelligence, grades or test scores these days. If the OP's friend interviewed...interviewers seem to prefer students who are bubbly and uber-sociable, which many (though certainly not all) stereotypically-intelligent people are not.
Booksmarts seems to be unrelated to common sense. Common sense trumps book smarts.
1) the OP may not have been trying to get into community college (like sheridan and those schools im assuming based on the fact that she is from ontario) for just anything, it may have been a very competative, difficult program, and yeah, everyone looks down on college (I know I do sometimes), but some of those courses are more difficult to get into than university courses, so that may be why she didn't get in, so not necessarily fake. 2) just because you get into a really good university doesn't mean that you are at all smart. It means your book smart (intelligent), but not street smart. I go to UofT and can speak from person experience that there are quite a few people who go there, who get very high marks and are in very difficult programs, that do not have one ounce of common sense and are so guillable that it is unbelivable! So all in all, not necessarily fake
Also, getting into an ivy league school has a lot to do with your connections. If her parents went there, she could get in with a lot worse grades than an outsider.
Someday such test may become possible, but the technology isn't there yet. I mean, come on, you have physical contact with a computer mouse, what else is required to extract all the necessary information...Your friend was merely confused because in her school, she is surrounded by the computer programmers who can create that kind of technology. >:)
I bet she goes to Penn.
Seriously doubt you could have gotten into any University, even the small crappy ones, seeing as you clearly have no comprehension what-so-ever. If you did, you would have noticed that I was defending colleges you bloody moron, now why don't you get back to hair dying 101 genius. And I never said that UofT is Ivy league, but anyone with half a brain knows that it is a top school in Canada, and that it has a reputation for turning out the best and brightest. Idiots like you are why people think that college students are stupid.
Good prank!
you deserve it for being envious

What'd she have to do, pee on the monitor?
Common sense is completely different to intelligence. Somebody could be incredibly smart, yet very naive at the same time. It doesn't mean they didn't deserve their place in the College :/
