so I don't know if they are pulling your leg or not. All of those people are so familiar I could have named them without the multiple choices.

not to mention all it asks you to do is identify famous people with multiple choice.

Probably just click bait to drive up their "unique visits" and generate ad revenue

Even if recall of historical figures had anything to do with I.Q., which is does not, having a timed quiz and then freezing on several pages showing the choices, but not showing the pictures invalidates the time aspect of it.

It's meant to stroke the viewer's ego and then display advertising while the suckers are in a good mood over finding out how "smart" they are.

but not a lot to do with any kind of IQ... just a little knowledge of history and pop culture didn't know I was that smart

Oh wait -- historical, not hysterical?

100% - WOW! You're A Historical Genius!

Wowza! Congratulations!! You just ACED this quiz!
You've got a great memory for faces and a love of history that has allowed you to achieve the ultimate prize of getting to brag, brag, brag about how smart you are!
You were able to recognize all of these historical icons with ease, are you a history teacher??
If not, you should be! Excellent work!

I did a bunch of tests and I came out mostly 100%

I did get most right but 100% means every. single. one.

100% - WOW! You're A Historical Genius!

This was soooo easy. I knew every answer.
My real IQ is 110 or so.

I just don't do those anymore. Used to do the tug on heart string stories about kids, animals and pets. But just got aggravated at having to click 20 times to get to the end. So stopped.

I knew I was a genius before taking it, I went to the best schools (Wharton) and I have very good genes, I'm probably the smartest person who has ever taken this quiz.


Peace
