Can this quiz guess your education level?

[mjr]

I don't know how accurate it is...the quiz said I have a Masters degree...I don't. I don't even have an undergrad degree...

My results:

I got 47 of 50 right
Amazing! Are you a professor? If not, you may want to consider a career change.

I have, in fact, only a Bachelor's of Science....safe to say seriously over-estimating.

Honestly, a lot of that I learned in high school or just in my normal course of learning things. I wouldn't necessarily consider a lot of those things "Masters Degree" level pieces of knowledge.

That quiz thinks I'm a professor, and I made a couple of stupid mistakes.

Ditto.

More than half of what's in there should be taught by the time a person's in high school. Never happen, of course.

Wonder what the average score is. Four? (Yes, I'm cynical; that's experience talking. People is stupid.)

Yeah it said I have a Master's too. Missed a couple things I should have known. Never been to college. WTF.

I only spent a year or so in college and that was a couple of decades ago. I still managed to get 43 of 50 right. Hell, some of them I guessed on based on the question and the options given for answers (used to do that pretty often on multiple choice tests in school, with similar results).

These quizzes are nothing more than click-bait. They make outrageous claims on how difficult they are as your friends report their high scores on Facebook..

A FOAF on Facebook took one of these quizzes. He was sure that he got a couple wrong and it still said he was a genius scoring 100%. So he retook it. Gave the wrong answer for every question he knew the answer too. It still told him he was a genius scoring 100%.

Don't kiss the crazy applies here I think.

That's amusing. There was a King of the Hill episode like that once.

Apparently I too should be a professor. This quiz is silly. You don't have to be highly formally educated in order to be well-read or knowledgeable.

Exactly. That's why I found it amusing that it said I had a Masters Degree.
