    This quiz isn't so much about intelligence as it is historical awareness.

    Having a high IQ has nothing to do with general knowledge.

    • @user-lm3jo9kn9i

      IQ = 100 would be enough for these quizzes.

      There might be a small positive correlation.

      Jo W. I agree. Knowledge and intelligence are two different things. But I wouldn't say that a high IQ has nothing to do with general knowledge because intelligent people like to learn things, they like to read, and they remember more of what they learn. People with low a low IQ usually stop reading when they get out of school and forget much more of what they learned in school.

    @jasontempleton2445 4 года назад +2

    15/20. And as for me having an IQ of 150, I really don't worry about it. If you know the the history of the IQ test itself, its right up there with eugenics, in fact the same guy thought it up.

  • @lindickison3055
    @lindickison3055 2 года назад

    True...this had nothing to do with IQ. A couple were teenage oriented, but others were general history knowledge and using that knowledge for educated guesses.

    20 out of 20... so I have an IQ of 150? I don't think so, I know I have an IQ of 119, so there's no way it's gone up 31 points. Pure entertainment is all it is...but fun none-the-less.

  • @mikebavoso26
    @mikebavoso26 4 года назад

    I agree these questions have nothing to do with your IQ. I've taken an IQ test while I was inlisting into the US Armed Forces and none of these questions were on the test. They asked you things about patterns, the strength of materials either in a vertical or horizontal position, the reputation of moving objects and gears ratios, math and English composition. But then again it says it's a history test of knowledge.
