If you do really well on this random knowledge quiz, there is a good chance you are too smart for your own good. You don't want to be too smart. That can be really off-putting to other people. The best we can tell you is that if you do well on this quiz, you might want to downplay how intelligent you are to others. Not doing so may leave you without as many friends as you like. At least try to hide your super-genius status as best you can.
In all honesty, however, very few people are able to do well on general knowledge quizzes like this one. The reason for that is you can't simply study up on a handful of subjects and expect to do well. Quizzes like this will test your knowledge on a wide variety of areas including TV and movies, music, history, and there might even be a math question or two thrown in there. If you really think you are someone with a large amount of knowledge, then go ahead and give this quiz your best shot. Just don't be too overconfident.
