This quiz will test you on a variety of subjects including geography, history, world events, and pop culture. This isn't the type of quiz where you can simply study up on a subject and do well. In general, general knowledge quizzes such as this one are testing your ability to retain information more than anything else.
Much of the factual information you will be tested on in this quiz is something you have likely encountered before but the real question is do you remember it? Have you retained the information that you learned? That is often the difference between someone with a high level of intelligence and a person who does not. Having a high IQ will afford you much in life. Only people with a very high level of intelligence are able to master so many different subjects at the same time. Take this quiz and see if you belong to this select group of talented people.
