If you get 18/20, it informs you that:

'You know a lot about the world and its history'.

If you get 18/20 as an American, it informs you that:

"You have an impressive understanding of the world for an American. It is likely that you feel intellectually isolated in your home country, and often have to hide your opinions from others. Deep down, you realise that your country is the single biggest threat to world peace in modern times, but you have not yet summoned up the courage to emigrate."

hhmmmmmm it's not biased then.....

enjoy!

I don't think it's a fair test...... a lot of smart people know nothing of history...

The results page says the current average for Americans is 13.07, with 13.83 for other countries. Not that much difference then.

There were questions about the Beatles and the novel '1984'. Those were not good questions. The rest were ok. One I had a problem with was which deciding which country had never prohibited alcohol. I got 12. I don't know much about history.
