Whitestar was😮 an English firm based in Liverpool, although she was built in Belfast. So that would be the English contribution. Ireland as a whole was part of the UK until 1922, so yes, it was built in the UK, when Ireland separated in 1922 and became a Republic, Northern Ireland chose to stay with the UK. So Northern Ireland ( but not as NIreland, just Ireland) was part of the UK when the Titanic was built.
Yes, all were used extensively but the Spitfire had the most built and used in WW2 by quite a number. Some 20k spitfires with the others several thousands less( around 40% less). As with many IQ questions all options are true but one is always more true than the others. ALL were used extensively but obviously if there were 20k spitfires and the other 2 planes totalled just 20% or so more the spitfire WAS the MOST extensively used so the correct answer. Tricky but true.

Labour Day in Naam (formerly Melbourne) Australia, from the mid-1850s, has been on the 14th of March - known also as 8-hours Day... connected with some sort of industrial action by stonemasons, so I believe.

Yes, however the spitfire was by far used more as more were built by around 40% more than either of the other 2.

I got 33/50, but the answer to No. 29 is the United Kingdom because Northern Ireland is not a country. Or the question should read: In what part of the United Kingdom was RMS TYitanic constructed?
The true test is when you meet someone and talk to them for awhile, and you realize they're much smarter than you are, and conversely. Only liberals hate IQ tests because most of them fall below the median. That is why teachers outlawed them in all schools and hiring and at the same time passed affirmative action for the same reason, which is why we have to import people from around the world who can do math and science.
I realize it is not a real IQ test but I did well. Got 42 correct. While in college I had a real IQ test and scored 139. Wish I had done more with it. I figure (previously unknown to me) things out without instructions, but i have not patented anything. I do speak three languages and about 50 percent of a fourth.
Speaking of Europe I recently realized how psychotically obsessed I've become with German history. I figured out the camera was invented in 1816 because there are numerous photos of Otto von Bismarck as an elderly statesman but only one of him as a young man. That is THE reason I answered that question correctly. I also nailed every question about the Middle East, also because of him and his successors. Seriously if he was still alive I'd be his #1 fan. Only budget constraints would prevent me from tailing him everywhere he went.
1) Hats off to all the people reporting that they scored over 50! _Brilliant!_ 😂 2) To all the people objecting that Labour Day is in September in America only: Sorry, untrue. Labour Day is in September in _Canada_ only. Note that the question concerned "Labor Day." Given that spelling, the right answer could only be the US. 😄
I am a polymath--an individual whose knowledge spans many different subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. This test is specific for polymaths. 48/50 Q21 could be any of the 3 Bf109 also used in Spanish Civil War.
When you were 40, you would have made 37 out of 50. You actually lost two marbles. But those marbles were the "marble counting" marbles, so you didn't know about it.
Most IQ tests are based on thinking outside the box, which is not best way of measuring. To be able to solve problems that are encountered in everyday life, in a straight-forward way, is how I would rate a higher and more useful level of intelligence.
Yes, but even those are NOT REAL IQ tests as they are heavily weighted to one area of intelligence/knowledge. If you are a math whiz for example you will do well in most IQ tests yet in many other areas of intelligence/reasoning/knowledge you may be deficient but you will still score highly simply on math ability. NO IQ test is evenly balanced in multiple areas of intellect/reasoning/knowledge. Or at least I have yet to see one that is.
@@1ponsford Fahrenheit and Celsius have very different applications. For measurements in terms of human exposure Fahrenheit is better. At 0F salt will just barely melt ice; at 100F humans seek cooling to prevent heat problems. For other measurements Celsius is marginally better; the scale rate is okay but putting 0 as the temperature at which water freezes is not any better than the 0 point of Fahrenheit. For physics, Kelvin is the scale of choice. Of course, we got Celsius from Republican France. They also gave us meters, a ten month calendar, and the short-lived decimal time system with 100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour, and ten hours per day. There are 86,400 standard seconds in a day and 100,000 decimal seconds in a day. Now, for a _real_ trivia question: why are there 5280 feet in a mile? Time's up! It is not possible to divide a square kilometer field equally among three buyers. 5280 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640, or 5280. It seems in the real world division is as important as its reciprocal, multiplication. Base ten number systems, seen among ancient Sumerians, was useful for counting on fingers but not much else.
@@derekmills5394 Yep. On the "room temperature" question I was surprised not to be given celsius equivalents, but remembered what the Farenheit recommendation in my country actually was, as I'm old enough to remember such archaic measurements. I was astonished when they gave as the correct answer a temperature I would regard as uncomfortably warm, if not actually sweltering. So I checked my country's recommendations, and they were indeed as I remembered them, but converted to Celsius. Do Americans not wear clothes indoors?
If you said May, give yourself the mark. It's the correct answer in almost all countries. Only the solipsistic country south of Canada would be so arrogant as to ignore 90+% of the world's population when setting a quiz, and then put it on the web as if it applied to everybody.
I got every question right except in the science category. Albeit a couple of the general knowledge ones were clearly aimed at Americans only, I just happened to know the answers anyway.
How much can a question about room temperature be considered as science anyway. It's more of a cultural thing. But, as you noted the difference between F and C, I noticed something a few years ago you might find interesting. Did you ever wonder why 98.6 F is considered body temperature, even though virtually no one has that temperature? (Mine is usually about 97.4). I think it's because it was established in research done outside the USA and therefore is in Celsius, and is the maximum normal temperature not indicating a fever. Converted to C 98.6 is exactly 37 degrees. I don't think that's coincidence and I also don't think it was meant to be an average, but a max normal.

Here in New Zealand, we celebrate Labor day in October. In Australia the various states celebrate at different times of the year. So your answer is not all exclusive.
Your question about the "commercially available" user interface computer... it was definitely NOT xerox. While PARC, with Xerox funding, did in fact develop the first GUI, it was never "commercially available". It was used by Xerox, but they never marketed it.
I scored 41/50 despite the queries on some questions, not least QQs 21 and 48. I admit that I only managed 5/10 in the science questions, but then again I gave up using Farenheit in my third year of secondary school, which I started in 1968, and I was never able to stidy chemistry nor was I ever taught astronomy. Q45 was another that I, as a mere Brit, was unable to immediately answer, because we neither have that national day nor do we spell it Labor!

In any IQ score above IQ145, the "standard error of measurement" is so high that the score given is almost random within a range. Or, more simply, IQ scoring stops at about IQ145.
Any legit IQ test takes hours and can only be done under the direct supervision of a licensed psychologist. Also an IQ of 160 is extraordinarily rare.. one out of 40,000
ALL IQ tests are subjective and disadvantage different people. If you are a gifted mathematician you will excel in most IQ tests yet could be deficient in many other areas of knowledge but your math will still get you a high score whereas you may be proficient in 10 other areas but poor in math and therefore score much lower than a proficient mathematician. NO IQ test I have seen to date (am 71) fairly tests anyone's IQ or intelligence in total. Most concentrate on reasoning ability and these require high math ability to excel in. Have seen many Mensa high rankers with very poor life skills etc and many dropouts who are far more successful in life and business than Mensa members. Everything is relative. For example, many people with profound disabilities are gifted in other aspects that able bodied people are not. Conversely many highly intelligent people who score well in IQ tests are pretty dumb in other aspects of life. We should celebrate all people as special as we are all unique as we are all different. We are not equal in all things. It is this mixture on people that makes the world such a diverse and challenging experience for all of us. Celebrate your good points and work hard to improve those areas where you may be lacking and EVERYONE benefits. And lets work together for all humanity to advance to its full potential.

This is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. This literally has a question "who sings the song...." that has 0 bearing on intelligence. I could answer "who cares, i listen to kpop to learn a second language" This is a much more intelligent answer than knowing some 70s rockband. which coffee chain is the most popular? This is a joke.
38 - "decent knowledge". I guessed some correctly, but others, I got wrong through going too soon and not thinking, so would have got another couple correct. I was strict with myself and accepted only my first answer - could have made it to "scholar"!!

I got 33/50, but the answer to No. 29 is the United Kingdom because Northern Ireland is not a country. Or the question should read: In what part of the United Kingdom was RMS TYitanic constructed?
Northern Ireland is a country
@@ChrisJohnson-ez5ge Not according to sporcle last time I checked
"RMS" - nice touch!
sorry mate you are wrong it is `the united kingdom and northern ireland`
The United Kingdom is made up of four countries, namely, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Great Britain comprises the first three only.
42/50. The true test of intelligence is the ability 2 use knowledge 4 thinking n application purposes.
Well said 😌
The true test is when you meet someone and talk to them for awhile, and you realize they're much smarter than you are, and conversely.
Only liberals hate IQ tests because most of them fall below the median. That is why teachers outlawed them in all schools and hiring and at the same time passed affirmative action for the same reason, which is why we have to import people from around the world who can do math and science.
I realize it is not a real IQ test but I did well. Got 42 correct. While in college I had a real IQ test and scored 139. Wish I had done more with it. I figure (previously unknown to me) things out without instructions, but i have not patented anything. I do speak three languages and about 50 percent of a fourth.
This is a test that mixes grade school knowledge with RUclips trolling.
Honestly I got 45 correct answers. It’s a review of general knowledge. I’m in my 70’s and enjoyed a bit. Some more please. God bless.
I bailed after question 21. All three answers are correct.
yep, all 3
That’s when I also bailed!
So True !
Ditto
Got 46 right - and I'm British, using a quiz for Americans!
Speaking of Europe I recently realized how psychotically obsessed I've become with German history. I figured out the camera was invented in 1816 because there are numerous photos of Otto von Bismarck as an elderly statesman but only one of him as a young man. That is THE reason I answered that question correctly. I also nailed every question about the Middle East, also because of him and his successors. Seriously if he was still alive I'd be his #1 fan. Only budget constraints would prevent me from tailing him everywhere he went.
That's bloody amazing!
I got a 46 as well!
46/50....WW II...all aircraft
I'm Australian so I'm pleased with my result, I've never visited USA so a bit tricky for me 😋
43 for me, I'm 70 and I did learn some new facts, but will I remember them tomorrow, probably not, but what the hell, it was fun.
40 to 50 correct is Scholar, which you got, as you got 43 right. Don't come down on yourself too hard, you did well.
1) Hats off to all the people reporting that they scored over 50! _Brilliant!_ 😂
2) To all the people objecting that Labour Day is in September in America only: Sorry, untrue. Labour Day is in September in _Canada_ only. Note that the question concerned "Labor Day." Given that spelling, the right answer could only be the US. 😄
as far as im concerned we dont have one ( uk) but i knew it anyway
Good deduction - the spelling! I didn't notice.
I am a polymath--an individual whose knowledge spans many different subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.
This test is specific for polymaths. 48/50 Q21 could be any of the 3 Bf109 also used in Spanish Civil War.
I'm 57 years old and I got 35/50 so glad to know I haven't lost all my marbles just yet, lol.
When you were 40, you would have made 37 out of 50. You actually lost two marbles. But those marbles were the "marble counting" marbles, so you didn't know about it.
IQ is measured by REASONING not by 'general knowledge'.
However, pple who have vast knowledge generally have a high iq too. They have curiosity and that's a sign of intelligence.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 I agree - but - general knowledge isn't measured in an IQ test.
Most IQ tests are based on thinking outside the box, which is not best way of measuring. To be able to solve problems that are encountered in everyday life, in a straight-forward way, is how I would rate a higher and more useful level of intelligence.
Yes, but even those are NOT REAL IQ tests as they are heavily weighted to one area of intelligence/knowledge. If you are a math whiz for example you will do well in most IQ tests yet in many other areas of intelligence/reasoning/knowledge you may be deficient but you will still score highly simply on math ability. NO IQ test is evenly balanced in multiple areas of intellect/reasoning/knowledge. Or at least I have yet to see one that is.
IQ and knowledge are not the same thing and don't use the same tests.
It was a test for seniors to check how sharp their memory still is, not an IQ test.
Never, EVER have I heard of "Iron Mike" Tyson being called Kid dynamite! and who uses Fahrenheit to measure anything?
Americans use Fahrenheit.
@@WNH3Thank you…👍🏻
@@WNH3 the only country in the world to still do so
@@1ponsford Fahrenheit and Celsius have very different applications. For measurements in terms of human exposure Fahrenheit is better. At 0F salt will just barely melt ice; at 100F humans seek cooling to prevent heat problems. For other measurements Celsius is marginally better; the scale rate is okay but putting 0 as the temperature at which water freezes is not any better than the 0 point of Fahrenheit. For physics, Kelvin is the scale of choice.
Of course, we got Celsius from Republican France. They also gave us meters, a ten month calendar, and the short-lived decimal time system with 100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour, and ten hours per day. There are 86,400 standard seconds in a day and 100,000 decimal seconds in a day.
Now, for a _real_ trivia question: why are there 5280 feet in a mile? Time's up! It is not possible to divide a square kilometer field equally among three buyers. 5280 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640, or 5280. It seems in the real world division is as important as its reciprocal, multiplication.
Base ten number systems, seen among ancient Sumerians, was useful for counting on fingers but not much else.

44/50. No clue about US public holidays! 🇬🇧👍
Haha no worries, it’s quite understandable considering your British background but you did incredibly well nonetheless! Keep it up! :)
@@thequizstorm Yes, seems a bit silly to ruin a good quiz with one country-specific question
@@derekmills5394 Yep. On the "room temperature" question I was surprised not to be given celsius equivalents, but remembered what the Farenheit recommendation in my country actually was, as I'm old enough to remember such archaic measurements. I was astonished when they gave as the correct answer a temperature I would regard as uncomfortably warm, if not actually sweltering. So I checked my country's recommendations, and they were indeed as I remembered them, but converted to Celsius. Do Americans not wear clothes indoors?
If you said May, give yourself the mark. It's the correct answer in almost all countries. Only the solipsistic country south of Canada would be so arrogant as to ignore 90+% of the world's population when setting a quiz, and then put it on the web as if it applied to everybody.
That is OK. Most Americans only remember the paid holidays.
I got every question right except in the science category. Albeit a couple of the general knowledge ones were clearly aimed at Americans only, I just happened to know the answers anyway.
Funny to see fahrenheit in a science question...
Especially as their "silly" answer (treating the numbers as Fahrenheit) would be the correct answer in Celsius, which almost all the world uses.
How much can a question about room temperature be considered as science anyway. It's more of a cultural thing. But, as you noted the difference between F and C, I noticed something a few years ago you might find interesting. Did you ever wonder why 98.6 F is considered body temperature, even though virtually no one has that temperature? (Mine is usually about 97.4). I think it's because it was established in research done outside the USA and therefore is in Celsius, and is the maximum normal temperature not indicating a fever. Converted to C 98.6 is exactly 37 degrees. I don't think that's coincidence and I also don't think it was meant to be an average, but a max normal.
@@pickleballer1729 - Americans have a phrase "he has a room temperature I.Q. number"... (72)
Yes. Also, isn't room temperature a bit subjective? 65 works for me...
@@buzzwaldron6195 We have it in Europe as well, but it's more insulting here. (20)
Any quiz that is fun, makes you think, and you learn something new is a good quiz. Very good quiz here. Thanks for your work so we can enjoy them. Missed 3 questions. 🤔😊👍
WOW incredible job Patsy! Yes indeed, these quizzes are meant to stimulate your brain and to simply learn new things daily! I appreciate your consistent support! :)
Not that hard
IQ es saber resolver problemas, es relacionar fenomenos, dar explicaciones plausibles, etc.
I completely agree.
I sense you did not do well on that test, si?
Here in New Zealand, we celebrate Labor day in October. In Australia the various states celebrate at different times of the year. So your answer is not all exclusive.
Q 21 Yes, all.
Yes. I gave up at this point.

WOW Margarete making improvements I see! I’m glad this is happening to you and I am honoured to be apart of this journey! Keep it up! :)
Your question about the "commercially available" user interface computer... it was definitely NOT xerox. While PARC, with Xerox funding, did in fact develop the first GUI, it was never "commercially available". It was used by Xerox, but they never marketed it.
41. I got 5 right in technology. I'm 65 and never owned a cell phone.What's the expression... I'm a digital guy living in an analog world.
I'm person of 20th century
I scored 41/50 despite the queries on some questions, not least QQs 21 and 48. I admit that I only managed 5/10 in the science questions, but then again I gave up using Farenheit in my third year of secondary school, which I started in 1968, and I was never able to stidy chemistry nor was I ever taught astronomy. Q45 was another that I, as a mere Brit, was unable to immediately answer, because we neither have that national day nor do we spell it Labor!
Fahrenheid???? That's not science that is ancient history, and tha planes, all three were correct.. And that is with the only for Americans questions , and Volkswagen is the best known car in the world, always was..
If Toyota is 1st it must be by a whisker.
Northern Ireland became a separate entity from Ireland on May 3, 1921, when the Government of Ireland Act 1920 was enacted. SO, in 1912 when the Titanic was constructed it was in the country of Ireland.
These trivia questions do not determine a persons IQ, actually have nothing to do with IQ. Nice quiz though.
8-2 for Geography, 7-3 for Technology, 7-3 for History (my best subject), 9-1 (not my best subject in today's world), but only 5-5 in the General Trivia (which I'm usually good at). Some of my correct ones were good guesses, some of my incorrect ones were the wrong choice of two I thought possible. 36-14 is okay but personally disappointing.
45/50
Disappointed with only 43. On the other hand, the ones I got wrong were quite specific questions that I wouldn't have expected to get right.
45/50 uk 🇬🇧 😊
0-25 .. 'God Bless America'.
21/50
I got 42 out of the 50. Some of the geography questions stumped me to be honest.
How come the computer didn't calculate my score? You can't expect ME to do it!
amen
Quizzes' are not a measure of IQ ,
I'd say this test has more to do with education than memory. Many of these questions, I never learned the answer to. I got 32 right.
38 out of 50; didn't do well on the technology q's, but aced history, and was ok with geography! This was satisfyingly challenging!
48/50. If you use your knowledge & ultra logic - you can easy do 40-50 of 50 right .. 🤔😊👍

This was a good enjoyable quiz, with 5 excellent categories. I got 42/50.
Geography 10/10
Technology 10/10
History 8/10* I got Q22 (1 year old king, & Q24 wrong (Christopher Columbus' fleet). * Q21 is challenged - all were extensively used, so I gave myself a point for it.
Science 9/10 I got Q40 wrong (couldn't convert Fahrenheit to Celsius quickly enough)
Trivia 10/10* * Q45 is challenged - since no country was specified, I chose the month in my country which wasn't even in the list, so I gave myself a point for it.
Total 47/100
And #38 BOTH insulin and glucagon are produced by the pancreas... Glucagon in Alpha cells and insulin in Beta cells...
I’m 77 years old and the history section was my worst. However, I still got a 57% score. 😮
Hi, excellent quiz. I did the best with the Science questions. I had better, I am a science teacher retired.
Couple of questions there biasing towards Americans - Labor day is not in September where I live.
Room Temperature can also depend upon where you live and 20 C (68F) is a common figure - so 65F would be closer than 72F
But still got 41.

Great!
Likely electronics, computer, or engineering related career. A couple of the questions I noted would be indicators of such a respondent.
In any IQ score above IQ145, the "standard error of measurement" is so high that the score given is almost random within a range. Or, more simply, IQ scoring stops at about IQ145.
39. I thought these were dumb questions, until I realized it's all what we USED to be taught in school!

Any legit IQ test takes hours and can only be done under the direct supervision of a licensed psychologist. Also an IQ of 160 is extraordinarily rare.. one out of 40,000
ALL IQ tests are subjective and disadvantage different people. If you are a gifted mathematician you will excel in most IQ tests yet could be deficient in many other areas of knowledge but your math will still get you a high score whereas you may be proficient in 10 other areas but poor in math and therefore score much lower than a proficient mathematician. NO IQ test I have seen to date (am 71) fairly tests anyone's IQ or intelligence in total. Most concentrate on reasoning ability and these require high math ability to excel in. Have seen many Mensa high rankers with very poor life skills etc and many dropouts who are far more successful in life and business than Mensa members. Everything is relative.
For example, many people with profound disabilities are gifted in other aspects that able bodied people are not. Conversely many highly intelligent people who score well in IQ tests are pretty dumb in other aspects of life.
We should celebrate all people as special as we are all unique as we are all different. We are not equal in all things. It is this mixture on people that makes the world such a diverse and challenging experience for all of us. Celebrate your good points and work hard to improve those areas where you may be lacking and EVERYONE benefits. And lets work together for all humanity to advance to its full potential.

49/50. I *disagre* with your question #21: ALL of them (Me-109, B-17, Spitfire) were used extensively.

Typical Battle of Britain documentaries show Spitfires.
Typical Allied bombing missions show B-17s.
Dang I thought I was brilliant but i was average. Maybe I should take it sober next time
This is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. This literally has a question "who sings the song...." that has 0 bearing on intelligence. I could answer "who cares, i listen to kpop to learn a second language" This is a much more intelligent answer than knowing some 70s rockband. which coffee chain is the most popular? This is a joke.

38 - "decent knowledge". I guessed some correctly, but others, I got wrong through going too soon and not thinking, so would have got another couple correct.
I was strict with myself and accepted only my first answer - could have made it to "scholar"!!
46/50. Nice quiz, if you look at it that way. Perhaps a bit orientated towards the USA. C
I do know enough to point out that IQ (as mentioned in the splash screen) is unrelated to knowledge.
I'm 78 and probably did better than when I was 65. But a little over half right.
