Are you someone who has obtained a lot of general knowledge throughout your life? This is actually a very hard thing to do. Almost all of us will become experts in the things that we are naturally interested in, gravitate to, or just happened to do with regularity. Everybody is an expert at something but that doesn't necessarily mean they are an altogether intelligent person.
Only a really knowledgeable person is going to be able to pass this general knowledge quiz. If you think you have got what it takes to do exactly that, then go ahead and give it your best shot. Here's a warm-up question for you: Do you know who invented the polio vaccine? How about the television system? So, if you think you know the capital of Portugal, the planets in our Solar System, and the age that Cleopatra was when she died, then perhaps this quiz is for you. On the other hand, if you havenโt taken the time to study a wide variety of subjects, then you might not do very well at all.
Ready or not, let's get started wth this general knowledge quiz!
