Mentally challenged dog Test?

Has anybody tried it? I was wondering how accurate it is. I posted a link yesterday but deleted it because it wasn't working. Anyhow, I tried the test on my 15 month old female amstaff and she passed the cup test where you show the dog a treat, allow them to sniff and then make sure they are watching you place it under a paper cup, they are supposed to get the treat. And the blanket. A non-mentally challenged dog is supposed to try to get out from under the blanket.) I Guess my dog is a little immature and a (((LOT))) stubborn but not mentally challenged. (According to the test)

Update:

Oh, and another part of the test is "Come." Which my dog passed. She came when I called her.

Update 2:

I saw that hyperbole yesterday LMAO!!! Even that dog makes mine looks Smart!

Update 3:

I found the site on the internet.

    Where doe's the blanket come into it? Have you missed something out? You don't need to let them sniff the treat. What sort of test is this. "Come" is part of basic training. The first test you wrote about tests their problem solving skills. The second is obedience.
