I agree, which most are. It is a marketing ploy to get people with inferiour complexes to take the quiz. And a minority, who know their intelligence/knowledge, but would fancy learning something new...
Memory and experience. Most of these quizzes assume that the participants are American a d include many questions on sport, television shows and history that only Americans are likely to know. Get me started on Ancient Greece or British wildlife and I'll wipe the floor with you.
Being smart is knowing stuff. being intelligent is having the ability to apply your knowledge to solving problems. It is far better to be intelligent than smart.
40/50. Bonus answer - sabotage. Fun fact: the word 'sabotage' came about when the Luddites, weavers who worked from home on their own looms, began to be replaced by industrial ones. They went to destroy the looms by throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) at them. That is why we call a person who resists progress a Luddite.
@@pisswobble1571 [9:05] "Bonus Question:" "What do you call the act of hindering someone's success, or destroying needed equipment?" Answer: Sabotage. The question asks for the nomenclature of the act/action, not the perpetrator/actor. Technically, 'saboteur' is incorrect.
This has nothing to do with intelligence but general knowledge from a American perspective. Can you answer these questions set from an Asian perspective? (1) In which country is the town of Perlis? (a) Sri Lanka (b) Malaysia (c) the Philippines (2) Corazon Aquino was the former president of which country? (a) Mongolia (b) Indonesia (c) the Philippines (3) Which of these is an Indian musical instrument? (a) pipa (b) tabla (c) ranak (4) Which is a land-locked country in South East Asia? (a) Thailand (b) Cambodia (c) Laos *(5) And this question really test your intelligence : Mr Lee had some magazines. From Monday to Friday, he sold 315 magazines. He sold 2/5 of the remaining magazines on Saturday and Sunday. The number of magazines left was 1/4 of what he had at first. How many magazines he had at first? (Singapore Grade 6 Maths)
Locusts and grasshoppers are almost impossible to distinguish between since locusts are technically grasshoppers with different behaviors. To clarify, I believe the grasshopper in this video is an Eastern Lubber grasshopper. I have worked with insects for the last 12 years and grew up in a heavily populated grasshopper, cicada and katydid area. All fascinating creatures.
Lol...the first answer I thought of for the bonus question was Narcissism because they do their best to destroy their victim. Great quiz Detormentis. Thank you!
We love your quizzes, Sean! We bought clickers to keep track easier and compete against each other. Neither of us could think of the word sabotage until looking at the comments! 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for doing these! We also said cantaloupe and gave ourselves points.
I got 37 right , I also counted cantaloupe as correct. Also got the bonus question Sabotage, which is from the French word SABOT which was a wooden shoe like a clog, which when thrown into the leather belts used to power equipment from a large steam engine could jam the equipment or break the belts.
Hello Sean! I love the challenging quizzes because I learn a lot! 37/50 today; And the Answer to the Bonus question: Sabotage. Thanks for a Great quiz! Wishing you & everyone here a lovely weekend!😊🌼🍃🌻🥀🐝
I missed one from the first ten: Shocked to hear that TB was still killing so many people when it is fairly easily treated. My grandfather died of TB, but that was in 1954. I thought malaria had taken over that spot. One form the second group: Surprised to hear about so many deadly scorpions- thought those were spiders.
@@andrewsmith8729 I picked up on the poisonous vs venomous distinction. My father was stung by a scorpion in New Mexico. It wasn't that big a deal. I guess I based my evaluation of spiders vs scorpions on that.
1:55 The answer depends on different colonial masters. Some may say Singapore, some Java, and some Hong Kong, but the Philippine archipelago earned the title first in mid-1700.
Indeed. Manila was first described as "Perla del Oriente" in 1751. Since then, the title has also been attributed to Shanghai, Penang, Saigon and Phnom Penh.
Really enjoy these quizzes. So well researched and balanced. However, I wonder if a person’s intelligence actually relates to having a memory like an elephant for facts. I certainly have a very good memory and score high on quizzes - but I’m not intelligent at all. 😂
As an example--A person with a good memory can remember how to answer a mathematical problem after being taught, but an inlelligent person can get the correct answer without any help.
Countries: 8/10 Deadly: 7/10 Mixed: 7/10 Potp: 6/10 Lore/Lit: 7/10 Total: 35/50 I did considerably better on the College-themed quiz. This one seemed harder to me.
Hello, Sean! I don't want to sabotage my chances, but sabotage is the answer 😂. Thanks for another fantastic quiz! I managed to score four incorrect answsrs. It was a good day for me! 😀👍
This should be called "Is your General Knowledge above average", which is different to intelligence... I did enjoyed even though I expected something else... My score 36 (including the points for sabotage).
Barely made Hawking with only 38/50. For some reason the word,"sabotage" didn't occur to me. Maybe because I'd always heard it used in war movies? Btw in this part of the world(Southeast Georgia US) I'd always heard it called a cantaloupe. Great quiz. Thank you, Sean.
As for the bonus...I am going with sabotage??? After deciding on sabotage, I read some of the other comments and I see many of us are going with that. Missed 2 questions on today's quiz. Thank you, Sean, for coming through for us once again with a great quiz. 👍
As a kid we used to go on school field trips to Philadelphia and back in the 60’s we could walk up to the Liberty Bell and touch it and put our fingers in the crack of the bell. Can’t do that nowadays, vandalism
Intelligence has nothing to do with remembering places, facts or figures. It is the ability to determine a conclusion or solution based on a set of given facts or circumstances.
Sabotage. Only got 34 today, probably one if my lowest scores, but still very enjoyable. I love learning new things and usually Google for more information after taking your quiz.
I got three on Cities & Countries, four on Deadly Things, two on Mixed, Picture Trivia, and Lore & Literacy. Edit 1: Which means I got thirteen points.
I got 10 wrong. Fun quiz. Sabotage is the answer to the bonus question. It comes from the word sabot, which is French for clog. Sabotage was the act of thrwoing your clogs into machinery, causing it to break down. My dad taught me that.
What do you call the act of preventing or hindering? block, blockade, embarrass, hinder, obstruct, stymie, stymy. hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of.
Don't feel bad I thought they were also mushrooms. Also question 40 that he said was a melon is also called a cantaloupe in US, but also called a musk melon where I was born in Michigan because of the musky smell.
Wow, I can't believe I got a 9/10 out of the first one, and the only one I missed was the one I doubted my first answer :o. I thought I had no chance of doing good in the first category
Just barely managed to get into Hawking Award of Wisdom. I was on a roll until I got to the 3rd category and only managed to get 5 of them. Oh well, 38/50 is still ok.
Sabotage. ❤ your channel!
Correct!
@@detormentis history degree finally pays off. Lol
I concur my dear friend!
and only 12 wrong...

This is not intelligence, it is knowledge. They are different.
yeah, but fun.... that's what I thought when took the SAT.
I agree, which most are. It is a marketing ploy to get people with inferiour complexes to take the quiz. And a minority, who know their intelligence/knowledge, but would fancy learning something new...
Correct... after all, if you never read or studied these items/topics before, how would you know??

Knowledge of trivia.
Being smart is knowing stuff. being intelligent is having the ability to apply your knowledge to solving problems. It is far better to be intelligent than smart.
True, but if you're intelligent, being smart is an added bonus.
@@G45H3R Lots of intelligent people out there washing cars or stacking shelves.
Smart people are a different thing entirely.
This is true but I'd still rather be intelligent than smart. I can always aquire more knowledge. I can't aquire more intelligence. 😮
Just realized, you are actually agreeing with me. Lol....see that....intelligence in action.
Unfortunately, I'm good at knowing stuff.
I'm useless at knowledge
Number 40 is a cantaloupe in the US. Melon is a generic term for several fruits and vegetables.
Score yourself +1
In Indiana it's called a "musk melon".
In Australia it’s a Rock Melon, cantaloupe and Honey dew are different
Mate we said this!! Thank you for pointing it out
@@MoiAussie1 Depending on which state you grew up in - its either a Rockmelon or a Cantaloupe. NSW is the main state calling them Rockmelons.
Loved the quiz (42/50). But let's not mistake knowledge with intelligence. Happy holidays!
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Intelligence is knowing you don't put it in a fruit-salad.
Intelligent people seek knowledge.
@@nbenefiel🤡
31/50....ALWAYS STICK WITH YOUR 1ST CHOICE...
#40 That is a cantaloupe, melon is the category. That is like calling a Cashew a nut.
9/10 on the potpurri section. I've never seen an egg separtor in my life, honestly.
40/50. Bonus answer - sabotage. Fun fact: the word 'sabotage' came about when the Luddites, weavers who worked from home on their own looms, began to be replaced by industrial ones. They went to destroy the looms by throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) at them. That is why we call a person who resists progress a Luddite.
Or is it saboteur
@@pisswobble1571 Not every saboteur is a Luddite. My brother doesn't use a smart phone but he's never sabotaged anything!
@@isabelstokes4042 I never mentioned luddite... I was simply explaining the definition of the answer
@@pisswobble1571
[9:05] "Bonus Question:"
"What do you call the act of hindering someone's success, or destroying needed equipment?"
Answer: Sabotage. The question asks for the nomenclature of the act/action, not the perpetrator/actor.
Technically, 'saboteur' is incorrect.
Intelligence is logical thinking, analytical, calculations, pattern recognition, thinking out of the box, perspective, it's not General Knowledge.
This has nothing to do with intelligence but general knowledge from a American perspective. Can you answer these questions set from an Asian perspective?
(1) In which country is the town of Perlis? (a) Sri Lanka (b) Malaysia (c) the Philippines
(2) Corazon Aquino was the former president of which country? (a) Mongolia (b) Indonesia (c) the Philippines
(3) Which of these is an Indian musical instrument? (a) pipa (b) tabla (c) ranak
(4) Which is a land-locked country in South East Asia? (a) Thailand (b) Cambodia (c) Laos
*(5) And this question really test your intelligence :
Mr Lee had some magazines. From Monday to Friday, he sold 315 magazines. He sold 2/5 of the remaining magazines on Saturday and Sunday. The number of magazines left was 1/4 of what he had at first. How many magazines he had at first? (Singapore Grade 6 Maths)
Exactly. This ran through my mind several times during the test: the quiz has a clear American cultural bias.
Let me be a Singaporean 6th grader: The answer to the Math problem is, 540 no. of magazines. (Time taken: around 4 mins.)
Sabotage, your grasshopper looked like a young Locust to me?
Locusts and grasshoppers are almost impossible to distinguish between since locusts are technically grasshoppers with different behaviors.

I have worked with insects for the last 12 years and grew up in a heavily populated grasshopper, cicada and katydid area. All fascinating creatures.
@@mlh1063thanks, that just pushed me up to a 30 👊🏻
I thought it was a locust too. Our grasshopper is green.
In Australia they're every colour you can think of...all grasshoppers to us.
@@seanbutnotasheeple2090
have you got rainbow grasshoppers?
I got 41 if I count cantaloupe and camel as opposed to melon and dromedary.
You are right about the cantaloupe , but a camel has two humps and the dromadary only one.
The judges say those are acceptable answers.
I said musk melon and camel. It just asked what animal, not a specific category of animal.
From the Dutch wooden shoe, the Sabot which was thrown into machinery by angry workers who felt exploited, sabotage.
Thank you, I did not know that!
Thanks - I didn't know that.
Sabotage, I knew the answer, it was referenced in the film "Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country"
Sabotage. Thank you Sean for a very challenging and fun quiz today! I lost track of my wrong answers, but I enjoyed it and learned some things lol!
Correct, thank you for watching!
The Philippines is The Pearl of the Orient. Google it. I'm Filipino and I've known this since Gradeschool.
Question 40: Name the fruit
Me: Cantaloupe!😁
In United States
Rock melon or Cantaloupe in Australia.
In the melon family I guess.
Got 28 correct answers.Thank u for the quiz .It increases my knowledge.
Lol...the first answer I thought of for the bonus question was Narcissism because they do their best to destroy their victim. Great quiz Detormentis. Thank you!

Thank you so much. A great score, and correct on the bonus question! Thank you for watching!
To be precise: Hong Kong actually isn’t a city. It’s the island territory.
The city is called Victoria.
I missed one from the first ten: Shocked to hear that TB was still killing so many people when it is fairly easily treated. My grandfather died of TB, but that was in 1954. I thought malaria had taken over that spot.
One form the second group: Surprised to hear about so many deadly scorpions- thought those were spiders.
The trick in the question is "communicable". You are correct though: Malaria IS the biggest killer but cannot be transmitted.
@@spervuurproduksies Ahh, that sounds right. Good catch. Thanks.
I too thought it was malaria
A mushroom is poisonous... not venomous.... it had to be either a spider of a scorpion. Deathstalker is a scorpion.
@@andrewsmith8729 I picked up on the poisonous vs venomous distinction. My father was stung by a scorpion in New Mexico. It wasn't that big a deal. I guess I based my evaluation of spiders vs scorpions on that.

Cantolupe is a specific melon not a type of fruit
Yes up in Canada we call that kind if melon a cantaloupe, but i went with the quiz answer when counting my score.
40/50 today, Sean. Bonus answer is sabotage
How is knowledge of trivia an indication of intelligence?
General knowledge is only an indication of intelligence to those of low intelligence.
39 and sabotage. Enjoyable quiz but not a measure of intelligence just a good memory.Thanks.

Wonderful to see these photos.........how things have changed.

28 and hmmmm, I'm not English speaking..
41/50 is my score no less no more.

Great quiz.
Finally, a qiuz channel worth something.
I got 33 correct. But it's okay, I learned new things. Like the difference between a camel and a dromedary.
I got 32 out of 50 but I learned a few things too. I took the test again and got 42 out of 50. So I did learn a few things after all.
What do you call the act of preventing or hindering?
block, blockade, embarrass, hinder, obstruct, stymie, stymy. hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of.

Hawking Sabatouge
I got 35 correct I passed on 4 and 11 Wrong, And the bonus Question SABOTAGE
38 correct not including the Bonus question ,which I also guessed correctly.
Got 16 wrong. Great quiz.
I answered only 3 questions correctly, does that make me an idiot?
I got 41 with a few correct guesses, it would be lower if not for the multiple-choice options.
36 correct is a Fleming Award. Sabotage is to ruin another person life or destroy equipment intentionally.
36/50.I loved the quiz!!
Please make an intelligence test based on intelligence and not knowledge!

48/50 first time, 50/50 on the repeat. Missed Handmaid's Tale and Singapore questions. I guessed a couple, such as the scorpion names.
