Next you'll want to do a marathon well done i could only dream of such a score or living that long?

I got 42 right and I am only 72. I look forward to 91.

91 and using social media 😂 But may you live on to see more years... You aint 91 surely?

@@patrickmccloskey4306 I got 42 right and I'm a mere 66. Can't imagine what kind of fecked up world this will be in 25 years when I'd be 91.

Well done!

43 out of 50 also 69. Agree based on experience, education and wide reading. A lot of reading

I scored well, as well, BUT did you notice that the questions were basically in one field? No Math, no biology, etc.

right, i got 42 myself. i'm dumber than dirt, but i like history. if these were modern science or math questions i'd be at the bottom of the list, lol.

@@timmackey2896 41 ou of 50 also 69 same remarks as above Hello to All from a french in France

Awesome

True

Your Comment Speaks Volumes about the Positive of Affects Alcohol, considering your school History & Your Hatred of History! You think History just might be " more interesting now" 'cause You're Part of It Now & It Really wasn't Learned, It was Lived?!--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>🤣🤣🤣--Peace lil' Bruh

The older you get the more history is not about the ancient past but its about your own childhood memories.

And probably the only one posting an honest score.

It was nobody less important than Einstein who said - - learning is accumulating information". And only those who can turn that information into solutions that do have value and contribute to a better life are wise.

I always find the Drinking Helps, And a 'lil Smoke never Hurts! I don't think I Visited More than a Handful of Books other than My Math Books, just to do the Practice Problems (All) before I went In & Punished the Test! OK, so what? What is I Paid Attention like a MF'er in Class Fact!-->> Iwas Born in late 61' & I'm gonna do this one after a lot more College hoop & a Lot more Beer! I'm not Scared, I Get Back with the Old Heads on Here, Even if I don't Get 1 Right! Sh!ts not Hard if a person simply Pays Attention!🤣Funny but True! Everyone Figure out Things Differently! (That's not Racist is It??!!--LMAO

Congrats, Pal, you are one of the few honest guessers. ;)

Overlord!

That one, and the incorrect answer for the Dark Ages amused me the most.

I never notice it, but it was the closest answer.

@@philiprife5556 My father was on Utah Beach .. it was Operation Overlord.

Great job

You sound a lot like me, except I'm 66 years old, received an excellent education, and am an avid reader. I got 13 questions wrong.

Well done. I only got 45. I'm 84. Can't believe I missed the gestational period of elephants. I'm a Republican; I should know that.

I just turned 73 a few days ago and got 41 right. So much of what I know isn't because of my IQ. I've always been a reader of different genres, I love learning about new places (If I read about one in a book, I have to stop and Google it) and a decent public education. Even just watching interesting little You Tube videos will teach you things. I've learned all about Saville Row and how mens' suits are made and how Merino wool is becoming scarce. Add in being a lover of crosswords and just talking to people about different things and there you have it. Don't ever let someone chastise you for watching You Tube.

Me too!

That's what I thought. I said Overlord out loud and then saw Overload and was confused.

I was going to say same .

Me too. 41 correct answers.

Yes indeed

😮😮😮😅😅😅😮😮😅

Yep I agree. where your interests are and how much do you read.

Totally agree

those are all things that makes up your IQ and memory

36 correct 😊14 wrong

I agree. It's more of a memory test than an IQ test.

Well done 👍🏻

I’m 74 and 36. Where does that put me.

@@judithjones3372 You still got it!

I have all my marbles, but I just don’t live in this world where I am supposed to have this information. Ask me about stuff I’ve lived and read about and I am amazing.

age 77, 34 right

❤

Well done. I'm 55yo and I was stoked that I got 35 correct and I had a few guesses too. I also finished school in yr 10.l so I'm feeling pretty happy right now 😆 I'm definitely smarter than I thought I was 🙏😊

Well done, I'm 60 and got the same score and we might have even shared the same guesses.

The main thing is not how smart you are but how you stay honest. I don't know how many I would have gotten right? I quit counting when I reached 40 and the red bar was only a little past half way?

its not too late for u to get a first degree

It took me a long time to figure that one out. Everybody told me I was smarter than people I KNEW were smarter than me! An eidetic memory doesn't always translate into advanced reasoning skills.

agreed

na u must b stu ped....

Having a good memory, really doesn't help with algebra. One must know how to apply knowledge across the board and solve problems. People that can integrate all brain functions, just might have a higher IQ.

Absolutely correct. Typical of these quizzes.

There were a few general knowledge questions, concerning (I think) chemicals, but you're right in general. Almost all of the questions were ones you should know from high school.

Agreed- see my comments. Education not the same now.

Yeah. The quiz was mostly history you should have gotten in high school. My score was 45, and I'm 77 years old.

Yeaaaaaa for you sir! You are one smart cookie!!! I 66 and got 39 out of 50. Lucky to have gotten that! Sure hope I make it to 92. You are a lucky man. Take care and I wish you the best in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wahoo!!!😊😊😊

Awesome 😎

Some of them I never knew

I got 42, but I believe the answer for 11 is wrong, so It should be 43. I'm 67.

Joke

LOL

Completely agree

yup he also needs some help with pronunciation I barely made it through high school and got 41 with 3 guesses

I thought Queen Elizabeth II! I was surprised to get it wrong

@@linpollitt8950 You got it right.

@@linpollitt8950 Me too! Guess I scored 41 then.

Queen Elizabeth ll is the longest serving monarch in Great Britain at seventy years. Louis XlV is the longest serving monarch in the world (France) at seventy two years.

Yes, I was surprised to get that one wrong - but now it seems that it was their answer that was wrong. Extra point then?

So you had many wrong answers?

Ditto

I agree with you!

And not only European names!

I’m 87 going 88. Answered 47. Guessed on the dates.

Hard to remember dates in history!

@@oliverazunic249 Indeed! "Can-bear-a" , rather than Canberra.

I only got 45, but you're spot on about how easy almost all the questions were. Anyone who passed high school should have gotten them.

Guess you take the trophy!

@@gardenjoy5223 Not interested in trophies. I prize learning and thinking as a way of life. We have to set an example for the youngsters.

@@peterbenoit5886 Sorry for the compliment.

@@peterbenoit5886Plus set an example on courtesy and manners. Don’t throw a compliment back at anyone - that just shows arrogance and indeed ignorance.

@@rivermoon6190 I think you need to crawl back under the rock you slithered out from, and that's no compliment.

So you got that question wrong then?

fascinating

I always believed it was caused by polar bear farts. That's what my dad told me when I was 9.

Great 😊

yes

Right. A high IQ will not help you with this quiz. It is just memory that does it.

Yes- and a capacity for taking different perspectives, detecting patterns etc.

I agree. I got 7 wrong

IQ (in theory) measures how well you learn. This is highly contentious, though. Some say it's fairly meaningless, while others think the opposite.

I am also 56 and answered 35 correctly. I did guess at a few, but mostly educated guesses. I missed 2 or 3 I should have gotten right so it equals in the end. I grew up in the country, even though I am not Amish I basically have an eighth grade education.

Yeah I reckon if you get the right decade you’re doing ok

I got 42 correct...but I guessed at least half a dozen, by ruling out the others lol.

Same here all my guesses were wrong

Me too !

I'm 60 and scored the same. Although I believe we should get a freebee for him calling D-Day "Operation Overload" LOL. Also, I have a question. I went with Mont Blanc in the Alps since I figured the Russian mountain would be on the Asian continent with most of the country

30. I’m almost 82 years old.

What’s considered a good score?

you loved taking the quiz. there is no L

I agree.

Very right.

So in other words, you failed miserably? 😂😅🎉🎉🎉

with adequate EQ.. IQ is worthless

Yes, you are right, on the subject that good general knowledge is not the same as high IQ. But for me, at my age, it was quite pleasing to find the memory banks are still okay, at 75

Right me too lol!!!❤

Yes, the perfect answers about those foreign war years were really no problem. Lol, and no way,Jose.

@@thomaswilson7538 Huh? Without re-taking the quiz, are you stating that 41 questions were ALL based on foreign wars? I think you took a different quiz than me. And, read my post, the name is clearly "Neil", not "Jose". "Jose" is more appropriate to "Joe" Biden.

Good for you.

Everyone forgets Subhoza II of Swaziland, but he was officially a monarch for over 80 years- albeit he was crowned at a mere 4 months (seemingly as soon as he could sit upright for someone to hold the crown above his head).

Oh... Did it say European in the question? I don't recall...

@@stevev238 for real? Jesus these people give crowns out to anyone I guess you just gotta be the right zygote.

No. Elizabeth reigned for 70 years; Louis XIV was 72.

36 .

pretty damn good, re lee you'r maybe one of those kids that studied, I never studied til the last semester of my senior year, and played all sports when grades and trophies were not given, they had to be earned or you didn't get 'em and didn't play. BUT I AM SURE YOU ARE A NICE FELLOW WORTHY OF MY FRIENDSHIP PS MY IQS 138 TO 144 YOURS IS PROBABLY MUCH HIGHER , HOWEVER i HAVE NEVER LEFT THE usa, MAYBE WHEN i GET BACK IN A FEW YEARS , I MIGHT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH YOU KUDOS TO YOU FRIEND, HOPEFULLY , AFTER MY VENOM

'60' ? LOL Would breeze through this as a 14 year old.

Don't misunderstand, this was taught in schools during the 50's and is common knowledge to people of that era, it is not to say that individuals after that time could not have this knowledge but it would not be commom.@@ruego-qj7bt

That's good!

Ditto!!

Agree 💯

Great job

Just retook it, aged just 62, and scored 32. Oh dear!🤣

​@@AlexAlexon3897😊

It tends to be like that for the more mature in society for we want to know were it all went wrong for our species I.Q was never the problem

I think history was taught in such a dry, boring way at school. I had a student in Hong Kong , he hated history. I asked him about Hong Kong under Japan in WW2. After I asked him about what his grandfather did in HK during the was he started to tell me a little of his family. Suddenly he was teaching me his family’s history. His eyes lit up. Yep, make it relatable and it takes flight. 😅😊

@@marchongkong: Spot-on! This is why my friend's son felt he learned more from his X-Box than from school.

You don't want to take a standardize I.Q test then its a form of self humiliation .

Even if you guess a multiple choice test with 3 options you should have got 16.

It's ok Edward. As for the 2 who are being rude jerks it's not about the size of your brain it's how you use it. 😅 . I got 28 correct and I'm 67. Passed algebra with a D but got As in geometry, go figure. Plus I've never used algebra in my day to day life but I use the hell out of physics and didn't even take it . 😊

geesh I only got 38 of them. U guys are smart

@@glenw-xm5zf thats why they dont write geesh lol

Great job

Great job!

Amazing 🤩

Very good 😊

I could do that quiz a hundred times and not get that score it was operation overload for me i bet your a pub quizzer

I have a brain filled with useless information@@wayneparkinson4558

Same! Never second guess yourself. 😂

Old adage at work: Always go with your first thought.

yeah 2 times i changed my correct answer

Welcome 🙏🏻 ❤️

That's amazing!

I know...66 and I missed 12 and the ones I missed I kicked myself for. We had a much better education in the past. And no, I do NOT have a genius IQ...never measured anyway, and at my age, even if I did, it's shot. Education was good, even in public schools though.

Feel good. Reason : some were Not GK but Trivia. My score tallies with Yours.

Some of those dates were nit picking

@@jlanderson21257 My test that they gave me in high school that they claimed tested IQ was based on looking at a group of gears and determining the final movement that would be created. Being a girl I was not supposed to be able to understand it but I got a perfect score on that and the boys were mad at me because I did better than they did. But I adored my dad and always followed him around and when ever he worked on the car I was right there learning and getting his tools and asking questions. My brother said he would never fix anything that he would hire it done so he refused to quit watching tv and go learn from dad. He never mowed his own grass either, never painted or hung wallpaper when he grew up. I did it all I didn’t want to be a ninny like my mother who was just worried about how she looked but I did her hair and makeup because she didn’t learn that either. I even cut my friends hair in high school. I just liked doing things. I never thought I was that smart I just didn’t like to be doing nothing. A teacher called me a busybody in grade school because I always had to be doing something.

@@jlanderson21257 Yes my teachers worked really hard and they taught so much better than what my granddaughter gets now. In first and second grade she had no text books, no readers and math was 4 little addition problems like 2 +2 and 2 + 1 repeated day after day never progressing to harder. I would have an entire sheet with maybe 25 problems everyday in my math workbook, and we had a hardbound text book too, we had multiple readers. I was taught to read by phonics and they try to hand out a sheet of 100 words at the beginning of the year and they were told learn these and she could read because she would try to read books that didn’t just have those 100 words and she didn’t have the skills to sound out a word. I started homeschooling and I started over and taught her phonics and now she can read but she still lacks confidence. I think they deliberately want dumb American kids who are only interested in sex. They want those books in the schools.

so did I and I am 68 years old

Great!

Nice 😊

Me too, I wonder if they were the same ones?

18 only

@@isabelespejo7566 You did your best and we're here to have fun as well as learn. Greetings from Canada

@@CharCanuck14 Greetings from New Zealand, chuffed to get 44/50

Not trivia, a great deal of it was things I learned at school

What is the feel-good stuff? I have grandchildren in school, when my granddaughter was in 4th grade she was loaded down with so much homework, that she basically got off the bus, had a snack started homework stopped to have dinner, back to homework until her mom came to pick her up at 8 pm. She had 3 different classrooms, not counting PE., they said it was preparation for middle school which started in 7th grade. Every state and school is different, you have no idea what children are actually going through. These kids have so many books in their book bags that it is giving them back problems. There is no feel-good stuff, don't believe all you hear from the repubs, they have no idea what schools are actually teaching, in fact, the high school in my area has really good elective courses for the Juniors and Seniors, not just shop classes, they have lawn mower repair, they have a greenhouse where they learn to run a nursery, a small animal's veterinary course, courses in learning to do hair, home ec is now a culinary course where they learn about the restaurant food industry. These courses are for those who are not looking to go into higher education so that they can have a trade when they leave high school. So you have no idea what goes on in any of the schools today.

the gop have purposely destroyed public schools to justify privatization..

@@Violet316 It is the range and depth that is frequently not studied anymore. Often the curriculum is project- or theme- based rather than academic nowadays: heavy books are not the point! Depends on the school still though. Like the sound of the practical stuff you talk about - useful for kids.

@@AnnabelleJARankin My comment was to the elderly man who thinks that kids today aren't getting an education. They are getting a better education today than they were when this man did in his day. We have more available through technology. I am not sure what he thinks is feel-good stuff.

@@Violet316 I am 69 years old and a retired teacher. I can state for a fact that in England syllabi are not as academic as they used to be - standards have slipped over the years. Technology doesn't help you become well-read... it even hinders in some respects. Some kids do not learn to read, write or even tell the time at the early stages they should!

Good job 👏🏻
