We've all thought about it one way or another, but if you have ever wondered about who is smarter between you and your best friend, this trivia quiz will put that to rest once and for all.
Don't be too confident, however, as many people overestimate how much general knowledge they actually have. It's been shown that most people view themselves as having above-average intelligence but mathematics tells us most of those people are wrong. Statistically and semantically speaking, most people can never be better than most people at anything.
Many of us have an inflated view about our abilities. It is very difficult to have the kind of all-rounded knowledge needed to do well on general knowledge quizzes that cover such a wide variety of subjects. If you think you are smarter than all of your friends, however, then you will want to take this quiz, answer the general knowledge questions contained within, and see if you can score at least 12 out of 15 to earn those bragging rights.
