I’m sure someone’s interpreting this list as defining “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes”

No, I just mean they like primates. I don’t know what you are trying to say.

…seems a little vague. Are they are looking at tracking data to see which BB readers later visit college alumni websites?
I would guess that websites like the Times Higher Education Supplement, Academe, and The Daily Nous draw a more educated audience, but Quantcast is probably not trying to sell them their services.

Yeah, we’re all clearly too damn intelligent to buy into that correlation -> causation shit…even though it just happens to be spot on this time.

I assumed “prosimian” was correct. I, for one, am a ring-tailed lemur.

I fixed the air conditioning at Wharton, Does that count?
I did attend a lecture by the Dalia Lama at U of Penn 30 years ago, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Before we break our wrists patting ourselves on the back, let’s remember the fact that this is just the number of people with at least undergrad degrees. There are plenty of smart folks around here, but 27% of people in the US have at least a bachelor’s degree, and about 42.3% have at least an associate’s degree.
Just putting it out there. I think that the crowd here is generally pretty “smart” but, “has an undergrad degree” is not a particularly exclusive group to throw yourself into, and there are plenty of people with undergrad and graduate degrees that are stupid, evil bastards. It warrants a “huh” and not much else.

so… according to this dubious reporting, boingboing readers are only slightly smarter than those who enjoy dilbert, and far less so than those who frequent gawker content sites… oof.
