Probably about 30%. I wonder how many Canadians can name a single Mexican president, or German Chancellor, or the Queen of Jordan, or how far it is from Brisbane to Sydney, or the 16 states of germany, or the number of provinces in China, or their grandmothers birthday.


FYI, the reason it was brought up was because the two countries are very close, and there are very few Canadians that can't name the American president. It's not really a big deal, though.

Anyways, Brisbane to Sydney is useless information- I'd rather care about how long it would take to get from one to another. How far is it from Dildo to Climax? (Two real places, actually.)

Hitler was a German Chancellor... Queen Rania recently was put on Peoples Magazines Best Dressed list... And the Mexican President currently is Calderon, isn't it?

It isn't as sad that I can't name the sixteen states of Germany as it is that many Americans can't name their own... (Only kidding, but I had nothing better to say to that one.)

Never really learned about the Chinese Provinces, and my grandma's birthday is June 16th. :D

This test is not "HOW SMART YOU ARE", but "HOW MUCH THINGS YOU KNOW".
It is same as asking to non-chinese people, "how many chinese characters can you read?", isn't it. (They have 8000 Alphabets-Chinnese Char, or Japanese people has 2100 Letters and double reading ways or more)

Usually Intelligence test has non-language section.

Knowledge and Intelligence are different.
Not knowing matters, but processing logics.
Not having knowledges, but thinking speed.

Senior people know a lot of things, young people don't.
But I don't think Being young is not smart.
Also, I don't think getting older means getting smarter.
(I would say, getting older means getting wiser or getting experiences.)

NOTE:
My score was 16. (non English Speaker, most of question has gone during reading.)
And IQ test I had before recently was around 110 (Because of the English test, most of the score came from non-language section. I need to find the test in my language at my place.)
