Your knowledge is far from impoverished, but there are some large gaps you may want to plug up. It's hard to know where these are and we often remain ignorant about their existence until we are tested. That is why general knowledge quizzes are so helpful. They cover a wide array of topics to find gaps in our knowledge base. There are quite a few more general knowledge tests in our arsenal, why don't you play a few more and see where your knowledge truly stands.
