I am 69 and I got 46/50. This has little to do with IQ. It is based on life experience and education....endless curiosity, self taught and a formal education, which is not everything.

Big difference between being well read and having a good memory and having a high IQ.

This is NOT an IQ test .... it is a history test.

I'm 47, didn't finish school, and took the quiz drunk. I got 26 correct answers. A lot of history questions, I hated history at school but find it more interesting now.

32 here. Naming D-day "Operation OverLOAD" was hilarious, by the way 😂😂😂

Well, I'm 50 and managed 40- but it doesn't depend on your age as much as what type of knowledge you've been exposed to, and how much you read and/or travel.

I scored 44. I am a 50+ Swede and think this has little to do with IQ. Good teachers, though, and a general interest that motivates reading. I have done lots of IQ tests and not one thing here would have had anything to do with it. Intelligence is about understanding how to solve new problems, like maths and fault-tracing, not about remembering what you have learnt. But it is intelligent to read and learn 🙂

38/50 - This was mostly a memory test, so not bad for a senior citizen I'd say!

I am 91 years old and got 42 right.I am pretty proud of myself.😘🇨🇦

I'm 65 and I got 48 answers right. That score has little to do with IQ. I was fortunate enough to have an excellent education and an excellent memory plus I love to read!

Really good quiz! I am 71 and I love these quizzes. They made me think, and I learn things, and remember things I;ve forgotten. got 47/50. Thanks.

I'm in my 60s and I got 34 right! Impressed myself! I still got me marbles! Thanks for making my day!

Nice Quiz. BTW it's Operation "Overlord" rather than "Overload"

I’m 80 and got 36 answers. Of course, some were guesses that I got right. Not bad for someone with just a high school education! I’m proud! 😊❤️

Really enjoyed taking this quiz I’m almost 69 and got 46/50 2 were I year off of the actual dates…. I wish my grandkids were here when I took it It’s all about the education and reading we did growing up. Children now a days would struggle with this quiz They are not given a thorough education and play video games where we used to read!!!

I'm 73, and Brasiliam. Also I'm prounde of my memory, education and being a good reader of GeoPolitics. Thanks ✨🎶🤓🇧🇷

I’m 72 and got all but two correct…. I credit good teachers 60 years ago!

I scored 42 out of 50. You have to update the question on "Who was the longest reigning monarch in the world?" The correct answer is Queen Elizabeth II of England, who reigned from 1952 until 2022. and the name of the D-Day landing was called "Operation Overlord" not "Operation Overload".

71 years old and got 50 right. I even got the one right that had an incorrect answer listed. It was “Operation Overlord”, not “Overload”. I wish these quizes were a little more difficult. I think the average high school graduate should be able to pass this one.

43 out of 60-- not to bad for 82,and a drop out. Hated history , but love it now. Should have went with some instints, oh well...

I'm rapidly approaching my 92nd birthday and was pleasantly surprised to get 40 right. 🙂

So having 100% up to question 11 when Overload was given as the answer instead of Overlord, I pretty much wrote this off as twaddle.

This was ridiculously easy, and the gentleman mispronounced his way through most of it. Also: "Overlord." What a low bar we have in our country.

😂😂 Operration 'Overload' indeed !!! 😂 oh my ...how funny !!!

Auroras are not caused solely by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field guides them into the Earth's atmosphere along the field lines, whereupon they interact with the electrons in atoms of atmospheric molecules causing them to quantum leap to higher orbitals, and then release photons of light as they drop back down to lower energy state orbitals.

Getting a high mark in a quiz on General Knowledge is not the same as having a high I. Q. 😊. General knowledge quizzes rely on memory , and the ability to recall , i.e., remember , knowledge . 🦉📖😊. I. Q. Levels are an indication of a person's ability to solve problems : typically puzzles they haven't necessarily seen before . If a person has been introduced to I. Q. puzzles generally , e.g., as a child, they will do better later than if they have NEVER seen an I. Q. puzzle before 🤔. Hope that explains the difference ! Best Wishes from "Brainy England" ! ( and modest with it ! 😊) 😊🇬🇧📖🦉🎈💕📖😊🇬🇧

I am 74. I scored 35 and I am satisfied with that. 😊

50 easy questions. Got them all!

Only missed the ones with dates and I'm 73 . I enjoyed it . The quiz master struggled a bit with the pronunciation of all the European names

Happy I scored 34. General knowledge is more a measure of how well read and travelled you are rather than IQ.

I left school at 16...scored 34.... I'm ok with that... a bit quick. If I'd had more time to think through I'd have scored better! Thanks.

Im 77, and apparently a good guesser. I got 41 out of 50

43/50 However, I read somewhere that I.Q. is not a measurement of what you know; it's a measurement of how you think. This was more of a memory exercise & it was Fun. Thx!🤓

35. Was not expecting so much history and specific dates. 56 and haven’t seen a classroom in decades. I would say a high score here means you had a great interest in world history when younger and still have a good memory. Not so much on the IQ. But everyone pretty much knows that

Score of 42 here. I missed - Hattie McDaniel (I should have gotten this one, as I've read how she was segregated at the Oscar ceremony) - Mount Elbrus - Elephant gestation - Apple IPhone - First Smartphone - Ribena -Vaseline invention - Wright Bros 1st flight

41. But how would I know who makes a product I've never heard of? I know it's the idea of trivia, but would anybody outside Poland know what company produces "Michałki" or "Prince Polo" (even though both are available abroad as well)?

I’m 76 and I got 40 right. I didn’t graduate from high school but later got my GED. The ones I missed were mainly ones about other countries or things I didn’t care about even when I was there when it happened! Loved talking the quiz though!

Soon to be 68 and scored 49/50 correct. I read, write, and teach several hours every day. I'm a lifelong learner.

Hey there. Vast majority based on education. Very little to do with age, unless you went to LOTS of movies and glued to recent cable channels like History, Military, Discovery, Science, etc. Try giving it to a variety of High Schools in different states, public and private.

I got 40 correct, with no cheating. I'm 65 yrs old, and decent at history and science. Not bad, but not good, either.

41 out of 50. The natural history and science questions did me in. The first 20 were rather easy, and I really thought I would do better. Thanks for keeping me humble and my arrogance in check. Bravo!

41/ 50 correct, had a hard time with the dates. ..good quiz for older folks. 76 years and still learning by playing these brain teasers.

I'm 74 and got 46 but quite a few were just educated guesses! I also agree with others that having a good memory for facts has nothing to do with having a high IQ. What about creative thinkers who can think outside the box? What about inventors who create something amazing. I watched the Beckhams on Netflix and he said he didn't do well in school and wasn't very intelligent. I would disagree completly with that. Just because he is not academically minded doesn't make him unintellient! Look where he is today! I would argue that it takes a certain amount of brains to be as successful as he is. I think we all have something different & gifted in our make up and for him it was football and it took him to the top. It's up to us to find what it is that makes us different. I'm not bragging here honestly, but I am an artist and I read a lot and my interests lie in the Humanities, yet I ended up with a BSc Honours degree! A Science Degree! I still marvel at that as it should have been a BA. Also my degree is the only one that does not require maths which I am hopeless at, as I have Dyscalculia, which is like Dyslexia, only with numbers. I am terrible at maths and get really, ridiculously, confused as I cannot remember the system you need to work out a maths question. Yet I remember words with no problem. Yet people might look down on me and class me as a bit thick when i can't work out the answer to something that might be ridiculously easy to others. We might all have something different and gifted inside us, and it is up to us to work out what that is.

91 yrs...the."aged one" as in Dicken's "Great Expectations"..... 12 incorrect.... 38 correct.. careless on Otto von Bismarck ...Da Vinci & missed platelet on blood component... a fair try.!

I believe Elizabeth II ended up reigning longer than Louis XV

You definitely don't need to be over 60 to pass this, but I enjoyed it!

Got 35 , 75 yr. Not bad for a person who has 4 yr. Of grate school ! Thank you

48 correct . I am well read and devoted to the study of philosophy, history and science. I am a female in case anyone cares . Age 52 this year.

I'm 62 and got 33/50, looking at some of the high scores here surprized me, thought I was doing pretty good till I looked at that

Im 74 and got 44 correct. I'm a retired teacher...it is better to know what happened in relation to other events rather than when they happened. Great quiz.😊

Thanks like these so much.

16 wrong. After seeing some of the comments below, I'd say I only got 14 wrong. The longest running monarch and the D Day question. I'm 65. Also, I agree with some of the comments about your IQ. An IQ is what you know about general knowledge in a large number of areas. They take several hours to complete. I have done 3 such tests in my life time. When I was 9, 25 and 29. The test I did at 25, actually taught me something; I realized that I was very good at spatial recognition.

I'm 89 and I scored 41 but that's because I received a real education instead of the feel-good stuff that schools serve today.

The sad part is , many college students can't tell you how many stars are on the USA flag . Imagine them taking this test .😊

30 correct, not a record but a reasonable attempt

Not only is it fun to remember but good to be learning new tnings at 77.

Over 65 got 45/50 learnt a lot it was like a refresher course cracking my brains to recollect all that we learnt over the years 😅😅

I'm 74 and scored 43, Some guesses and some really impossible questions so very pleased!

Watching from Ireland

All I can say is, I learned a lot from this quiz!! I think I got 12 right ,I forgot this stuff 50 years ago,lol

Scored 44/50 correctly. I am 71. Excellent quiz covering wide range of subjects. Thank you for the intellectual stimulation

Hello, I enjoyed this thank you! My score was 48.

I am 74 years old and my score was 48 out of 50. June 6, 1944 at 6:00 AM was the beginning of the "Second Front" on the European continent, the "turning point" of the war against Germany as part of the Axis powers, during World War II. The "First Front" having occurred in July 1943 with the landing of American troops from the North African Campaign (November 8, 1942 - July 1943) at Palermo, Sicily under the command of Lieutenant General George S. Patton and simultaneously at Gila, Sicily under the command of Major General Omar Bradley. This, the largest armada invasion in world history, code name: Operation Overlord (NOT OverLOAD) with the (North to South) deployment of soldiers landing on Gold and Sword beaches by the British and Austrailian troops under the command of Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montegomery; Juno beach by the Canadian troops; Omaha beach (the most deadly/highest casualties from the most intensive resistance) under the command of Major General Omar Bradley, and Utah beach under the command of Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., (son of U. S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt) by the American troops. Notably absent was Lieutenant General George S. Patton who was "under house arrest" in Northeast England for a second incident wherein he slapped an enlisted soldier. This monumental plan devised by the Allied High Command after nearly a year of planning, under the direction of General Dwight D. Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander and General Walter "Bedell" Smith his Deputy, along with strategists from all the Allied powers. The German forces military commander in chief, Generalfieldmarschall (Field Marshal) Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt of the Fuhrer's staff, placed the Normandy fortifications under the most capable command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, nicknamed the Desert Fox for his exploits during the North African Campaign. I would not agree, however, that this quiz would be a measure of an individual's I. Q. Moreover, I would categorize it as a measure of a person's experiences, interest in reading and history, and level of education achieved.

Score - 35. Age - 61. I wasn't interested in History at school, but now love it. Improving...

44/50 This was great fun and made me proud of being a trivia nerd. Thanks and cheers from Canada!

I got 37, 70 years old and there big difference between good memory and IQ, I'm just well read especially military history which helps by coincidence social history.

42/50; educated in Chicago and then its suburbs and then a liberal education in college back in the days. No DEI or social justice.

I only got 39 correct. But I second guessed myself 3 times and should have stayed with my first answer. Nice quiz. Enjoyed that one. Love History.

Fun quiz! I'm 61 and got 9 of them wrong. I love learning things from these quizzes🙂

Age 61, 34 right. 68%. I should have done better.

I will be 67 next month and got 43 correct. Some were guesses but a lot of them I knew for sure. I credit my getting so many correct to wonderful school teachers and I love of reading.

I am 75 and got 7 wrong.. But I have been an avid reader since I learned to read before I went to school at 5years . I believe that when reading you can pick up an awful lot of information, on all kinds of subjects.

I’m 76 and I missed 7. 😂I feel bad missing that many. When I was 14 to 18 I could get perfect test scores. But I was told I had a genius IQ and I’m not as smart as I used to be and besides I’m terrible about dates. You had to throw all of those in there.

Culture and History test; 45/50

I'm 68 scored 42 found It was a little fast paced I like to read the question B-4 I answer.

42 correct. Age 78. I would say quite a few of them are thanks to The History Chicks podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis.

49 out of 50. It was " operation Overlord" not overload.

62 yrs-39 RT---I believe I learned the vast majority on the list by the time I was 12 in school just by listening in class & During the Quiz, I'm thinkin', I haven't really thought most of this stuff in 'bout 50 yrs but when I reflected on my Public School Days the 12 part is pretty much on Point--I absolutely missed the Blood question because my Dumb Azz was waiting for the Multiple Choice to appear & time ran out, I absolutely knew it just didn't expect a one time format change I guess, So that's Straight BS Poster Dude!!-LOL That was Interesting & Fun but I missed the very First one, I'm like, Oh Sh!t, that Dirty Dawg Reeled Us in Hook, Line & Sinker on this BS Quiz! There was a Stretch Probably around the 25-40 range maybe I Dropped 7 or 8 & I reverted to the Fishing thing again! And at the End I'm like I can't Believe I missed friggin' 11 of these Questions; then saw where he said 20 was passing--To Myself I said, Cool Beans this was just like College in a Way, Where C's make Degrees! Also, It proves Alzheimer's hasn't Caught Me Yet!🤣

45 out of 50. A couple of the ones I got wrong were surprises, really thought QEII was the longest monarch. Fun quiz.

You don't need intelligence to answer these questions, just be well read with a good memory.

I am 74 and I got 35 out of 50! A few questions I had no knowledge of.

I'm 58 years old and with a 10th grade education and got 26 right but history was my favorite class..

71 years old & got 35 correct... Better memory than I knew! LOL

I would agree with @MusicMike747 in that during your school age years if one had an interest in world history coupled with a good memory the result could be an above average score on this quiz. There are numerous specific dates to recall which tends to trip up a lot of people. I was surprised at the non multiple choice question of blood composition (I couldn't come up with platelets.) And subsequently even more surprised when it was the only one that wasn't multiple choice. I don't believe the minimum age stated plays that large a part in doing well for this quiz, but if it matters in another two months from now I shall be 59 yo. I generally do very well in test taking and quizzes, but only managed a score of 39/50 though I enjoyed it all the same.

Good stuff. I'm 54 and got 31 correct. Mainly I didn't know the stuff asking specific years because...reasons.

38 correct and history is usually not my bag.

I am a British 76-year-old female and I scored 43...not bad for an old girl.

Operation *Overlord* not Overload, good quiz 37/50 , I am pleased with that.

Did Marie Curie keep her maiden name? Maria Skłodowska-Curie | Europeana Three years later in Paris, Maria met her research partner and future husband Pierre Curie, a tutor at the School of Physics and Chemistry. When they married in 1895, Curie changed her name to Marie Skłodowska-Curie, preferring to keep the Polish part of her name, rather than simply take her husband's.

I missed 7 questions but in my defense , I was drankin! 🥴😵😵‍💫

Love your trivias and questions. I passed satisfa torily but got discouraged cause I am nit an American nor a European, I am a Filipina but interested in history and related subjects. Thanks.

I guessed on a few, got tripped up with exact dates but managed a 38/50. Thank you, this was fun.

67 and missed 5. Pretty good!

35 here. Though some of them were too quick to answer since the questions were long.....

Thank you very much for the quiz it was fun. it doesn't matter how many we got right or wrong, the act of thinking about the possible answers is "The Benefit".(using our Gray Cells)

What does "longest musical" mean? Longest run or longest running time? Would it kill you to find out how to pronounce the answers?

I'm 71 and I got 33 correct answers. I have to admit, I was good at guessing at some of these questions. This was fun.

39 correct. Great quiz. Good variety of topics 👏👏👏

Excellent questions with a wide variety: 45 / 50, 5, however, was guessing. I am happy with my general knowledge at age 73, but need to improve. Ha, ha,ha

I scored 42 I’m 70 years old. Thoroughly enjoyed the quiz.
