If you are a smart person then this quiz will be a little easy for you. Keep in mind, however, that most people view themselves as smart even though the majority of people cannot actually be classified this way. We all have an inflated opinion of our own intelligence. This is just our ego's way of getting us through the day. If you woke up every morning and were painfully aware of how below-average your intelligence is, you would lack the confidence to do most things.
Sometimes our minds will do a mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that we are in the top 1% of all people in terms of intelligence, whether it is true or not. Even those intelligent enough to be aware of this fact do it as well. Some self-delusional people will even say "well I'm aware of how unintelligent I am and therefore that makes me intelligent." Socrates was a big proponent of this idea. If you would like to find out if you truly are as smart as you think you are then take this random knowledge quiz and see how well you do.
