How smart are you?

[Merlin5]

45 multiple choice questions. A mix of easy, medium and I haven't got a ******* clue so I'll guess.
I got 32 right which is about 72%, a few were guesses. So I'm more smart than dunce. I guess I'm a smunce? So yeah, don't cheat. I know there's a few here that will get over 90%.

Aside from being largely to capture ad revenue - not sure it really tells you how smart someone is when more than half of it is general knowledge that people may or may not have been exposed to - without even a way to figure it out, using intelligence, if you aren't aware of the details (which would be some kind of indicator of how smart someone was).

Didn't know the US Supreme Court decision on abortion in 1973 and for some bizarre reason I thought the Ottoman Empire originally sided with the Nazis before changing sides.

This 100%, quite a bit is philosophy, which i've not been exposed to, then literature which again, is quite specific. It certainly wasn't 'general' knowledge. However, i still managed 28/45

It was nothing but General Knowledge. It was exactly the same sort of questions we get asked in the General Knowledge rounds in the Pub Quiz league.

Christ, it's like BuzzFeed.

Why not just post a 'what type of cupcake are you?' quiz.

Managed to get around 30% with some lucky guesses.

35/45 although I second guessed myself 5 times which I'm annoyed about. Instinctively it would have been 40/45.

Bit sad that a there’s a question on the usage of your/ you’re. That’s primary school spelling, not general knowledge.

I don't need to take the test.

I know I'm a dunce.

Just read a few current affairs threads right here in GD. You'll soon see how smart (or not) your fellow forumites are.

Yet one that a very large majority of people still have trouble with. See 'their/there/they're also.

It's quite shocking when my two boys (8 and 10) are learning about things like homophones, onomatopoeia, reflexive verbs ect and huge amounts of grown up people can't master simple spellings in their native language.

'Which organ has an atrium, ventricle...' *Above a picture of a heart*

Hmmmm I wonder what it could be...

 

[Terminal_Boy]

37/45.

Purely general knowledge, but I'd say two thirds of it was stuff I learned at school.

 

[Gammawolf]

Its a basic knowledge test. It should really be prefaced with "So how dumb are you" as that's the spectrum it's supposedly "measuring".

I’m a very stable genius.

Ja but do you have a very good brain? I have a very good brain.

Based on this, i'm not going to bother.

General knowledge != intelligence
