To have more general knowledge than most other people is a hard-to-achieve goal. It requires that you be well-read, well-learned, and able to comprehend a large amount of information from multiple sources.
If you are a truly smart person than you should be able to do well on this quiz. It should be noted, however, that it would take someone that is smarter than the average person to be able to pass this general knowledge test. So take this quiz, answer the questions contained within, and we’ll let you know if you are smarter than most people out there.
