Only People Over 60 Years Old With A High IQ Can Pass This Quiz 

I am 69 and I got 46/50. This has little to do with IQ. It is based on life experience and education....endless curiosity, self taught and a formal education, which is not everything.

32 here. Naming D-day "Operation OverLOAD" was hilarious, by the way 😂😂😂

This is NOT an IQ test .... it is a history test.

I'm 47, didn't finish school, and took the quiz drunk. I got 26 correct answers. A lot of history questions, I hated history at school but find it more interesting now.

I am 91 years old and got 42 right.I am pretty proud of myself.😘🇨🇦

Well, I'm 50 and managed 40- but it doesn't depend on your age as much as what type of knowledge you've been exposed to, and how much you read and/or travel.

I scored 44. I am a 50+ Swede and think this has little to do with IQ. Good teachers, though, and a general interest that motivates reading. I have done lots of IQ tests and not one thing here would have had anything to do with it. Intelligence is about understanding how to solve new problems, like maths and fault-tracing, not about remembering what you have learnt. But it is intelligent to read and learn 🙂

38/50 - This was mostly a memory test, so not bad for a senior citizen I'd say!

I'm 65 and I got 48 answers right. That score has little to do with IQ. I was fortunate enough to have an excellent education and an excellent memory plus I love to read!

Big difference between being well read and having a good memory and having a high IQ.

I'm in my 60s and I got 34 right! Impressed myself! I still got me marbles! Thanks for making my day!

Really good quiz! I am 71 and I love these quizzes. They made me think, and I learn things, and remember things I;ve forgotten. got 47/50. Thanks.

Nice Quiz. BTW it's Operation "Overlord" rather than "Overload"

I’m 80 and got 36 answers. Of course, some were guesses that I got right. Not bad for someone with just a high school education! I’m proud! 😊❤️

71 years old and got 50 right. I even got the one right that had an incorrect answer listed. It was “Operation Overlord”, not “Overload”. I wish these quizes were a little more difficult. I think the average high school graduate should be able to pass this one.

I am 68 scored 30, though a few were guess work ,please add questions from all over the world on different subjects including mathematics. Thanks for keeping senior citizens mentally fit.

I’m 72 and got all but two correct…. I credit good teachers 60 years ago!

I'm rapidly approaching my 92nd birthday and was pleasantly surprised to get 40 right. 🙂

Really enjoyed taking this quiz I’m almost 69 and got 46/50 2 were I year off of the actual dates…. I wish my grandkids were here when I took it It’s all about the education and reading we did growing up. Children now a days would struggle with this quiz They are not given a thorough education and play video games where we used to read!!!

I got 40 correct, with no cheating. I'm 65 yrs old, and decent at history and science. Not bad, but not good, either.

I scored 42 out of 50. You have to update the question on "Who was the longest reigning monarch in the world?" The correct answer is Queen Elizabeth II of England, who reigned from 1952 until 2022. and the name of the D-Day landing was called "Operation Overlord" not "Operation Overload".

So having 100% up to question 11 when Overload was given as the answer instead of Overlord, I pretty much wrote this off as twaddle.

This was ridiculously easy, and the gentleman mispronounced his way through most of it. Also: "Overlord." What a low bar we have in our country.

43 out of 60-- not to bad for 82,and a drop out. Hated history , but love it now. Should have went with some instints, oh well...

Soon to be 68 and scored 49/50 correct. I read, write, and teach several hours every day. I'm a lifelong learner.

Auroras are not caused solely by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field guides them into the Earth's atmosphere along the field lines, whereupon they interact with the electrons in atoms of atmospheric molecules causing them to quantum leap to higher orbitals, and then release photons of light as they drop back down to lower energy state orbitals.

I'm 73, and Brasiliam. Also I'm prounde of my memory, education and being a good reader of GeoPolitics. Thanks ✨🎶🤓🇧🇷

😂😂 Operration 'Overload' indeed !!! 😂 oh my ...how funny !!!

43/50 However, I read somewhere that I.Q. is not a measurement of what you know; it's a measurement of how you think. This was more of a memory exercise & it was Fun. Thx!🤓

Getting a high mark in a quiz on General Knowledge is not the same as having a high I. Q. 😊. General knowledge quizzes rely on memory , and the ability to recall , i.e., remember , knowledge . 🦉📖😊. I. Q. Levels are an indication of a person's ability to solve problems : typically puzzles they haven't necessarily seen before . If a person has been introduced to I. Q. puzzles generally , e.g., as a child, they will do better later than if they have NEVER seen an I. Q. puzzle before 🤔. Hope that explains the difference ! Best Wishes from "Brainy England" ! ( and modest with it ! 😊) 😊🇬🇧📖🦉🎈💕📖😊🇬🇧

I am 74. I scored 35 and I am satisfied with that. 😊

Score of 42 here. I missed - Hattie McDaniel (I should have gotten this one, as I've read how she was segregated at the Oscar ceremony) - Mount Elbrus - Elephant gestation - Apple IPhone - First Smartphone - Ribena -Vaseline invention - Wright Bros 1st flight

Only missed the ones with dates and I'm 73 . I enjoyed it . The quiz master struggled a bit with the pronunciation of all the European names

I'm 74 and got 46 but quite a few were just educated guesses! I also agree with others that having a good memory for facts has nothing to do with having a high IQ. What about creative thinkers who can think outside the box? What about inventors who create something amazing. I watched the Beckhams on Netflix and he said he didn't do well in school and wasn't very intelligent. I would disagree completly with that. Just because he is not academically minded doesn't make him unintellient! Look where he is today! I would argue that it takes a certain amount of brains to be as successful as he is. I think we all have something different & gifted in our make up and for him it was football and it took him to the top. It's up to us to find what it is that makes us different. I'm not bragging here honestly, but I am an artist and I read a lot and my interests lie in the Humanities, yet I ended up with a BSc Honours degree! A Science Degree! I still marvel at that as it should have been a BA. Also my degree is the only one that does not require maths which I am hopeless at, as I have Dyscalculia, which is like Dyslexia, only with numbers. I am terrible at maths and get really, ridiculously, confused as I cannot remember the system you need to work out a maths question. Yet I remember words with no problem. Yet people might look down on me and class me as a bit thick when i can't work out the answer to something that might be ridiculously easy to others. We might all have something different and gifted inside us, and it is up to us to work out what that is.

Im 77, and apparently a good guesser. I got 41 out of 50

Happy I scored 34. General knowledge is more a measure of how well read and travelled you are rather than IQ.

35. Was not expecting so much history and specific dates. 56 and haven’t seen a classroom in decades. I would say a high score here means you had a great interest in world history when younger and still have a good memory. Not so much on the IQ. But everyone pretty much knows that

50 easy questions. Got them all!

30 correct, not a record but a reasonable attempt

I’m 76 and I got 40 right. I didn’t graduate from high school but later got my GED. The ones I missed were mainly ones about other countries or things I didn’t care about even when I was there when it happened! Loved talking the quiz though!

41 out of 50. The natural history and science questions did me in. The first 20 were rather easy, and I really thought I would do better. Thanks for keeping me humble and my arrogance in check. Bravo!

91 yrs...the."aged one" as in Dicken's "Great Expectations"..... 12 incorrect.... 38 correct.. careless on Otto von Bismarck ...Da Vinci & missed platelet on blood component... a fair try.!

16 wrong. After seeing some of the comments below, I'd say I only got 14 wrong. The longest running monarch and the D Day question. I'm 65. Also, I agree with some of the comments about your IQ. An IQ is what you know about general knowledge in a large number of areas. They take several hours to complete. I have done 3 such tests in my life time. When I was 9, 25 and 29. The test I did at 25, actually taught me something; I realized that I was very good at spatial recognition.

41/ 50 correct, had a hard time with the dates. ..good quiz for older folks. 76 years and still learning by playing these brain teasers.

I believe Elizabeth II ended up reigning longer than Louis XV

I left school at 16...scored 34.... I'm ok with that... a bit quick. If I'd had more time to think through I'd have scored better! Thanks.

I got 37, 70 years old and there big difference between good memory and IQ, I'm just well read especially military history which helps by coincidence social history.

I'm 62 and got 33/50, looking at some of the high scores here surprized me, thought I was doing pretty good till I looked at that

Im 74 and got 44 correct. I'm a retired teacher...it is better to know what happened in relation to other events rather than when they happened. Great quiz.😊

Good stuff. I'm 54 and got 31 correct. Mainly I didn't know the stuff asking specific years because...reasons.

Age 76, 41 correct. Whenever the wife asks, “How in the world did you know that?” I always have one answer, I read a lot.

Score - 35. Age - 61. I wasn't interested in History at school, but now love it. Improving...

All I can say is, I learned a lot from this quiz!! I think I got 12 right ,I forgot this stuff 50 years ago,lol

34 was my score, I'm 84. Thanks for the questions, they were fun.

Hello, I enjoyed this thank you! My score was 48.

You definitely don't need to be over 60 to pass this, but I enjoyed it!

Over 65 got 45/50 learnt a lot it was like a refresher course cracking my brains to recollect all that we learnt over the years 😅😅

Got 35 , 75 yr. Not bad for a person who has 4 yr. Of grate school ! Thank you

Cool thanks

I'm 89 and I scored 41 but that's because I received a real education instead of the feel-good stuff that schools serve today.

The sad part is , many college students can't tell you how many stars are on the USA flag . Imagine them taking this test .😊

I am 74 years old and my score was 48 out of 50. June 6, 1944 at 6:00 AM was the beginning of the "Second Front" on the European continent, the "turning point" of the war against Germany as part of the Axis powers, during World War II. The "First Front" having occurred in July 1943 with the landing of American troops from the North African Campaign (November 8, 1942 - July 1943) at Palermo, Sicily under the command of Lieutenant General George S. Patton and simultaneously at Gila, Sicily under the command of Major General Omar Bradley. This, the largest armada invasion in world history, code name: Operation Overlord (NOT OverLOAD) with the (North to South) deployment of soldiers landing on Gold and Sword beaches by the British and Austrailian troops under the command of Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montegomery; Juno beach by the Canadian troops; Omaha beach (the most deadly/highest casualties from the most intensive resistance) under the command of Major General Omar Bradley, and Utah beach under the command of Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., (son of U. S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt) by the American troops. Notably absent was Lieutenant General George S. Patton who was "under house arrest" in Northeast England for a second incident wherein he slapped an enlisted soldier. This monumental plan devised by the Allied High Command after nearly a year of planning, under the direction of General Dwight D. Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander and General Walter "Bedell" Smith his Deputy, along with strategists from all the Allied powers. The German forces military commander in chief, Generalfieldmarschall (Field Marshal) Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt of the Fuhrer's staff, placed the Normandy fortifications under the most capable command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, nicknamed the Desert Fox for his exploits during the North African Campaign. I would not agree, however, that this quiz would be a measure of an individual's I. Q. Moreover, I would categorize it as a measure of a person's experiences, interest in reading and history, and level of education achieved.

38 correct and history is usually not my bag.

Operation *Overlord* not Overload, good quiz 37/50 , I am pleased with that.

Scored 44/50 correctly. I am 71. Excellent quiz covering wide range of subjects. Thank you for the intellectual stimulation

42/50; educated in Chicago and then its suburbs and then a liberal education in college back in the days. No DEI or social justice.

I love it !

I only got 39 correct. But I second guessed myself 3 times and should have stayed with my first answer. Nice quiz. Enjoyed that one. Love History.

I am 75 and got 7 wrong.. But I have been an avid reader since I learned to read before I went to school at 5years . I believe that when reading you can pick up an awful lot of information, on all kinds of subjects.

47. The title is interesting. Fun little quiz.

I'm 74 and scored 43, Some guesses and some really impossible questions so very pleased!

49 out of 50. It was " operation Overlord" not overload.

42 correct. Age 78. I would say quite a few of them are thanks to The History Chicks podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis.

I am 100 old and got all answer right !

Watching from Ireland

I am 74 and I got 35 out of 50! A few questions I had no knowledge of.

I’m 76 and I missed 7. 😂I feel bad missing that many. When I was 14 to 18 I could get perfect test scores. But I was told I had a genius IQ and I’m not as smart as I used to be and besides I’m terrible about dates. You had to throw all of those in there.

45 out of 50. A couple of the ones I got wrong were surprises, really thought QEII was the longest monarch. Fun quiz.

I scored 48 correct

44/50 This was great fun and made me proud of being a trivia nerd. Thanks and cheers from Canada!

71 years old & got 35 correct... Better memory than I knew! LOL

Culture and History test; 45/50

Got one third!!

Fun quiz! I'm 61 and got 9 of them wrong. I love learning things from these quizzes🙂

Excellent questions with a wide variety: 45 / 50, 5, however, was guessing. I am happy with my general knowledge at age 73, but need to improve. Ha, ha,ha

35 correct

Thanks like these so much.

I am a British 76-year-old female and I scored 43...not bad for an old girl.

I scored 42 I’m 70 years old. Thoroughly enjoyed the quiz.

67 and missed 5. Pretty good!

I'm 72 and got 39/50. Enjoyed the quiz.

I'm newly age 71- I got 8 wrong and 42 right. Thank you for the challenge.

Scored 41...😢 and aged 67... now I'll list all my excuses... naah! can't be bothered! just like school...😂😂😂

48 correct . I am well read and devoted to the study of philosophy, history and science. I am a female in case anyone cares . Age 52 this year.

I'm 75 and got 30 , Love these Trivia questions..👍👍

I'm in shock. I only got 8 wrong. 42/50. Quite a few were good guesses but some I really knew. I think the ones I got wrong were ones I had never heard of, LOL.

48 out of 50. Glad I read, lol!

I'm 61 and got 45 correct

Not only is it fun to remember but good to be learning new tnings at 77.

What does "longest musical" mean? Longest run or longest running time? Would it kill you to find out how to pronounce the answers?
