Talk about the fragility of some people's egos. If your entire ego is built around feeling superior to your partner in intelligence, and that superiority can be shattered by something as innocuous as a phony online IQ test—well, quite frankly, you deserve however that makes you feel—you totally set yourself up for that one. (Especially when you were the one insisting that your wife take it.)

Online exams of any type are useless—unless they're to find out which Disney princess you are. Sure, they're fun, but that's about where it starts and ends. If you want to draw any significant conclusions from cognitive examination, it should be administered by a professional, and—even then—IQ tests aren't exactly an exact science.

Still, this insecure husband had his entire worldview shattered when his wife beat him on an online IQ test after he insisted she take it. Undoubtedly, he was expecting to trounce her, which really just goes to support the fact that dumb people tend to wildly overestimate their abilities.
