A quiz to guess your level of education:

[panader0]

I got 43 of 50 and they said "Amazing. Are you a professor? If not, you should
consider becoming one."
I am a semi-retired bricklayer. A college drop out.

1. if there is a quiz there, I do not see it. bunch of pics of celebs, etc.

[RKP5637]

2. Top right, Einstein's pic. I started and then stopped, got me too

cranked up thinking ... clenching like in my finals. I need calm ... these days.

[niyad]

3. well, it won't let me play at all.

[asiliveandbreathe]

4. 36-50 masters degree..yea right!!! many courses over time -

whole bunch of corp. training..and of course, life's little nuggets...

have fun...

[brewens]

5. Missed five. I wouldn't have needed the multiple choice for a lot of it. College drop out.

Mostly worked as warehouse labor and rout delivery in the beverage industry. Last ten years for a blood service as a driver.

Would have done far worse on that right out of school. Thousands of hours reading and watching educational shows will eventually get you to a pretty high level.

[panader0]

7. I can't believe I missed 7!

And like you, I didn't need the multiple choice for most questions. What did
the site say you should be?

[brewens]

15. Same as you, professor. My first miss was selecting Hindi rather than Mandarin Chinese.

I got away with a couple other guesses. Though I was a drop out, I went back briefly and scored an A in college algebra at about 40. Then a new job didn't allow me to continue.

As it stands right now, I think I'm in a job that is untouchable. Even big trouble would make us the last area to be shut down. I make just under 40 large a year but in a low cost of living area. I can't see rolling the dice now for more money at 56. If everything goes well, I'll retire on time and be able to drink beer and fish where I have most of my life.

It kills me that most of us aren't asking much at all but the greedheads would take it all away from us if they could. Not even have the goddamned common courtesy to give me a reach around either! Just for what might be a years worth of yacht gas for them!

6. 41 out of 50 - If I print that page out

can I tell my Employer I have a Master's degree? Those get paid more here...



Oh wait, they already know I've only had some community college. And a few task-specific telecom classes.

And a lot of DU.

If you like quizzes and want the time you pend to be meaningful:

http://freerice.com/#/english-vocabulary/1475

The organization that sponsors the quiz gives 10 grains of rice for every correct answer. There are several categories. Mostly easy, but a good way to review basic knowledge.

[panader0]

9. A grain of rice.

I heard a story that the guy who invented the game of chess (a Persian maybe?)
was asked by the Emperor what he wanted as a reward. He replied that he wanted
one grain of rice on the first square of the chess board, and two grains on the second,
four on the third etc.. The Emperor was surprised how modest his request was.
Until he found out that it was more rice than all the granaries in the nation held.

[Marthe48]

10. I heard the same with pennies

updated version. With the quiz site, I keep wanting to see how many grains of rice there are in a serving. I'm just over 23,000 grains. I haven't signed in for awhile.

[Marthe48]

11. smarts

book and street

[femmocrat]

12. It keeps crashing for me.

By refreshing, I ended up with 48/50. Some were lucky guesses.

The only ones I learned in college were the art questions. LOL

[mikeargo]

13. 47 out of 50

Years of "Jeopardy" and crossword puzzles helped more than my Bachelor's degree.

[panader0]

14. Some very smart people here at DU.

(I still can't believe I missed seven.)

[Dulcinea]

16. 43 out of 50.

Master's degree in Applied Linguistics.

[panader0]

17. Excuse my ignorance, but what is applied linguistics

and what can you do with the degree? My mom was an English teacher, my
grandfather a famed historian. Me---construction trash....

[Dulcinea]

18. According to Wikipedia...

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of linguistics that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems. I'm a college ESL instructor.

[panader0]

19. That ESL stuff must be very interesting.

You teach them and you get the opportunity of learning about their culture.
Good for you.

[csziggy]

20. Missed three - got 47 out of 50!

I'm weak in physics - that was two. And African political lines have changed since I was in school to I missed one of the questions about a country on that continent.

I have a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Library Science and Anthropology. Makes me a good generalist.

[Mendocino]

21. 49

Missed the question about poetry.

[cincycats]

23. Professor, Ha! Try unemployed

I got 45 or 46 out of 50 (I didn't expect to comment about this quiz, so I closed the page). But, I failed out of 4 year school and didn't finish a two year degree at community college. To be fair I have never been able to get myself to classes, but that just means this is almost entirely info you get in high school, or general knowledge you can learn watching Jeopardy or maybe documentaries you find on PBS The Discovery Channel, or maybe IFC, Sundance, or Netflix or something. I wish I had even half the education level they believe me to have. I don't even have an Associates Degree. Can I use this to at least get my bachelor's degree with this.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Everyone has different abilities and strengths :)

Welcome to DU!

[sarge43]

25. 49.

So I'm a Trivia Pursuit shark. BFD. A collection of facts doesn't equate to knowledge anymore than a pile of stones equates to a cathedral.

(BA with some post grad)

[FSogol]

28. 49 here too. Got the George Elliot question wrong.

[Kimchijeon]

26. I didn't get any wrong but honestly it got boring so I quit lol

I should have kept going, thought it was gonna be a short one. Probably went thru about 30... it was fun though
guess I don't have the patience today haha

[IrishEyes]

27. I got 38 out of 50. It said I had a masters degree.

I only have bachelors degree but I hope to get my masters degree.

[FakeNoose]

29. Clickbait - lots of ads

I don't have to click on this one, because I've been suckered in on others just like it.
You click forward to get each question and click again to find out if your answer is right?
On each click they show you another 5 or 6 ads that are all sort of dumbed down.

This is not any kind of intelligence test, the questions are so easy most schoolkids would get them right.
You've been suckered into the parallel universe of clickbait.
