That's an 80-point spread. On the same person. Who took the test seriously. What kind of test can show an 80-point spread? Oh, I know, since I'm a mildly-retarded genius -- a messed-up test that isn't measuring accurately.
Do I get extra genius points for figuring that out? Or is my mildly retarded side showing?
