Kind of a pointless quiz
Be more interesting if it was more relevant questions.
Kind of felt like I was taking a quiz to see how many random facts I knew that I would never use in my entire life. I guess it's science based, but hardly a "are you smarter than an American" quiz.
Should be more relevent things. like "who is the president" "what is your states capital?" ect. Things that you would assume EVERYONE shoudl know, but somehow there are a crap load of people that have no clue. Also what did these questions have to do with americans? these are all questions that pertain to everyone in the world. Make the quiz american oriented if the study is labeled as such.
oh and I guess before someone quotes me to just say I'm and idiot, I got 12/13

even if you had 0/13, that does not means you are an idiot at all. This test like many IQs tests, only meassure the knowledge you have and not how inteligent you are.

While I agree that this is an assessment of topics you should have had throughout secondary education, IQ tests have very little to do with general knowledge.
The examinations usually pertain to:
- Pattern Recognition (Given a series of patterns, what comes next)
- Short-term memory (Memorizing a series of numbers or alphanumerics)
- Visual intelligence (Find what's different between two images)
- Linguistic intelligence (Vocabulary - defining words)
Suffice it to say only 1 category is really based upon learned things.
