We want to hear your feedback! Share your scores and discuss the quiz, but keep it civil.

Please disregard the report on dear jelly beans it was a technical eror???????

· · · ·

It's ? OK????

· · · ·

I found out I knew more than I thought I knew.

· · · ·

It was fun but challenging

· · · ·

Had a good variety of questions, entertaining!

· · · ·

@ruadh So don't take them if you don't like them. Nobody is forcing you, and you didn't have to pay anything, so you really can't complain about something that you choose to do for free.

· · · ·

I like it very much

· · · ·

@ruadhAnyone with a high IQ would know these answers regardless of the topic.

· · · ·

I appreciate the broadness of the questions.

· · · ·

Fun quiz except when I touch the answer and your site refresh or gives more info it marks the answer incorrect.

· · · ·

I hit mini came back incorrect. The questions are bad enough im not a sports fan or classic car buff. These questions are getting worse and very biased. Not fair to those of us who actually have an IQ.

· · · ·

I found it ok at first then it went out of the USA and I don't know alote about other countries.

· · · ·

Where's the logic? This is a memory/trivia test and not an intelligence quotient test. The IQ of the individuals that called this an IQ test is somewhere around moronic.

· · · ·

To many sports and car Questions

· · · ·

Well that was dumb. At least I can guess the IQ of who made that test!

· · · ·

@Fuzzyd65 it's was ok though

· · · ·

This quiz is a trivia quiz not based on iq

· · · ·

This quiz isn't about I.Q. It's about trivia. Big difference

· · · ·

Too long

· · · ·

It was a man's type quiz!
