Post your score. I got 16 out of 20. My result was that I was smarter than most Americans and should emigrate but lack the courage to do so.

What's your result?

[TrogL]

1. 14 out of 20 .. it's memory test, not an intelligence test

Historical facts are what books are for.

At least one answer is wrong.

[Scottie72]

21. Yes it is only a memory test

How does knowing different chemical symbols measure intelligence? If I don't know I'll look it up that is what the periodic table is for.

[Birthmark]

2. 18/20

I don't think that they're anti-American enough.

Off to shower.

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.

The first time.

5. get a load of the little speech they give at the end

Guess they're liberals!

BTW 17/20...aren't we a bunch of showoffs now....

[prolesunited]

6. I pretended I was a freeper and scored a 6

You scored about the same as the average 10-year-old in any country other than America. Your understanding of the world and its history is very poor. It is unlikely that you form many opinions of your own, and when you do, you probably soon bow to peer pressure. However, all is not lost — read a few books, visit some other countries, and you could one day become a reasoning human being.

LOL! :D

[rasputin1952]

7. 0 out of 20...

Guess I'm set to be president!

Actually: 18/20

O8)

[ComerPerro]

8. 16 out of 20

And I am a complete idiot. One of the questions I missed was "Which of these countries has never prohibited the sale of Alcohol?"

I knew it wasn't Kuwait, and like a dumbass I forgot about the whole "prohibition" mess here in the USA....

whoops.

10. 16 out of 20

I got a couple science questions wrong. I never could memorize the periodic table of elements. :-(

[camero]

11. 18/20

I think I should emigrate. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. 16

[asthmaticeog]

13. 19 - OH yeah!

"Deep down, you realise that your country is the single biggest threat to world peace in modern times..."

Nothing "deep down" about it. It's pretty much right out front.

18. One ? is wrong

The tallest building in the world is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia not Taiwan. I scored a 15.

[PVnRT]

24. I was wondering about that

I thought it was there too, but I got that one wrong.

[Susang]

35. That's what I answered as well

But I was told I was wrong. As I remember, there is some controversy over what country actually hosts the tallest building. It had something to do with including a spire in the measurements. Either way, now I don't feel so badly about missing that question. :-)

[bubblesby2002]

36. You are correct,

I got 18 and should have gotten 19 damn

[KTM]

38. Depends on what you call a "building"

"If you count only habitable space and measure from the sidewalk level of the main entrance to the structural top of building (excluding flagpoles and spires), then the tallest buildings in the world are the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Designed by Cesar Pelli and completed in 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers are approximately 452 meters (1,483 feet) tall.

If you include decorative spires, then the almost-completed Taipei 101 Tower in Taipei, Taiwan is the world's tallest building. With the soaring spike on its roof, Taipei Tower is about 508 meters (1,667 feet) tall. But Taipei Tower will not keep its ranking for long. When it is completed, the new World Trade Center in New York City is expected to rise 541 meters (1,776 feet) tall, including its enormous spire.

However, if spires, flagpoles, and antennas can be counted when we measure building heights, perhaps rankings of the World's Tallest Buildings should include all man-made structures, whether or not they contain habitable space. In this case, the CN Tower in Canada is the world's tallest building. The communications tower and tourist attraction measures 553.33 meters (1,815 ft., 5 inches) tall."

but I'm still in school. That's my excuse for being dumb.

[KamaAina]

15. 20/20 -- and that sure ain't my vision!

Looks like I'm outta here, folks! :-)

If you are American, the only way you got this score is by doing the quiz 50 times, and memorizing the correct answers. You need to approach the world in a less aggressively competitive way and learn to live with your inadequacies, rather than seeking to feel through bigotry and false national pride.

So, anyone want to sponsor me to Canada, Australia or NZ?

[Art_from_Ark]

29. 20/20 here, too

"Thank you for completing the quiz
Your score and profile are show (sic) below

"You answered 20 questions correctly out of 20.

Excuse me, but what the hell does my score on this quiz have to do with "aggressive competition" and "living with my inadequacies"???

stupid stupid answer on the tallest tower one.....forgot that taiwan had the tallest

19. Correction

I guess they are counting the Taipei in Taiwan as now being complete. I thought it was still under construction. So I guess the question is officially correct.

[supernova]

20. 17/20

Same messagage as yours, proles.

I messed up the Bronte sisters, the capital of Austrailia and I can't think of the other one.

[youngred]

22. 19/20

not tooooooo bad, could've done better though

[PVnRT]

23. 18/20

Although, as a nitpick, the Japanese emperor didn't surrender to the Allies, General Tojo did.

[Art_from_Ark]

31. The official surrender was aboard the USS Missouri

with the Emperor signing the document. Tojo was out of the picture by then, having resigned all his positions after Japan's loss at Saipan in July 1944.

[Kat45]

25. I got 16 out of 20 this time.

The first time, I got 15 of 20. But the questions vary: some were the same, some were different, and the second time I took it there happened to be more questions that I knew.

[nuxvomica]

26. 17/20

So I'm more aware than the average American. I'm also taller than the average midget but I don't go around bragging about that either.

[dolo amber]

39. *Snarf*

I too a (marginally) taller than the average midget, and with my 17/20 I think I'll start going around bragging about BOTH! :P

:D

[travisleit01]

27. 16/20.

I feel somewhat redeemed now, seeing that I only scored 11 the first time a took it!

[beawr]

28. 19 of 20, I forgot my Grammar...

So, are they actually trying to determine who is best at Trivial Pursuit? It's too bad we're represented in the world by such a fucking moron, makes us all look bad.

30. 19/20

*big sigh of relief*

[BlueJazz]

32. I got 18....I'll see you-all later..

[AlFrankenFan]

33. Fun!

You answered 12 questions correctly out of 20.

It says if I am at school, than congrats, if i'm an adult, to try harder. I'm 13, so I guess it's ok.

[OneBlueSky]

34. 19/20 . . . don't know which one I missed, though . . .

and I'm not feeling intellectually isolated . . . whoever said this was a memory test rather than an intelligence test is absolutely right . . . I know people who probaly couldn't answer five of these questions who are among the most intelligent folks I know . . . it was kinda fun, though . . . :shrug:

[Edge]

37. 16 of 20...the test is rather flawed.
