Oslo - A Norwegian woman has had her two young daughters taken away by social workers because she scored poorly in an intelligence test.

Svanhild Jensen, 24, desperate to get her girls back, is now hoping an improved score in another IQ test will mean she will be reunited with her children, aged one and three.

Jensen's tale has provoked outrage in Norway. "She was shocked and humiliated," Jensen's lawyer Anette Lilleengen said on Thursday.

"The entire local community support my client. They have seen what a good mother she is."

This really pisses me off. The people who develop intelligence tests are obviously complete fools themselves since these tests never even come close to measuring any skills that have any real world use.

And before any ignorant assholes say “you’re just saying that because you do badly in them” believe it or not my IQ is in the top 2%, and I do very well on most other standardized tests, but I don’t think that is anything to brag about because I’ve seen too many people fail school only to prove they are brilliant in the business world. And vies-versa

She probably only spoke one language. And fed her kids "fast food" too.

There are plenty of socialist states out there...they're the ones with 1/100th of America's GDP ...
