Interesting Newsweek Quiz about what one “should” know. NYT also has an THE NEW YORK TIMES GUIDE TO ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE that speaks to this.
How well did you do on the Newsweek quiz?
sorry, I got bored and depressed after 23 questions. They should wait to tell you the results.

What does knowledge have to do with IQ anyway ?

Which of the Presidential candidates has appeared in most movies and TVs shows? This is international knowledge?

yea, I was starting to wonder with all the detailed questions about the dozen or so prez candidates.
hydrogen fuel cells are kinda storage devices in the sense that batteries are storage devices. The energy must come from elsewhere, most likely a power plant.
OOOh! Internationale! In the entire Arts/Literature section there were actually 4 questions that weren’t about Americans!
Scored 48% - Your Global IQ is 50. That’s a lot better than it sounds.
That could’ve been Jeopardy.
Sheesh. THAT’s a global test?
