General knowledge is the quiet accumulation of history, culture, science, geography, and the odd fact that sticks with us for decades. This test isn’t about memorization or trendy topics—it’s about the long view. You’ll encounter questions drawn from classical literature, world events, science, art, and everyday phenomena that reward reflection more than speed. Some answers may feel just out of reach, while others will spark a satisfying “of course!” moment. Take your time, trust your instincts, and enjoy the pleasure of thinking deeply. After all, knowledge ages well - and so do those who value it.

This result doesn’t reflect lack of intelligence—only opportunity. General knowledge grows slowly, shaped by reading, experience, and time. You likely shine in specific areas that this test didn’t fully tap. Consider this a snapshot, not a verdict. Many of history’s great thinkers were specialists first, generalists later. If a few questions surprised you, that’s a good thing—it means there’s more to discover, and curiosity is always the best starting point.
You have a solid, well-balanced grasp of general knowledge, with strengths across multiple areas. You may not recall every detail instantly, but you understand the bigger picture—and that matters more. Your mind is selective, practical, and reflective. With a little brushing up in weaker areas, you could easily move into top-tier territory. Most importantly, this score suggests genuine engagement with the world rather than surface-level familiarity.
You possess an impressively broad and deep reservoir of knowledge. Your strength lies not just in remembering facts, but in understanding how disciplines connect—history to science, art to language, cause to consequence. This level suggests lifelong curiosity, strong reading habits, and a mind that enjoys nuance. You likely excel at conversation, trivia, and analysis, and you’re probably the person others turn to when debates get complicated. Keep feeding that curiosity—it’s clearly serving you well.
