It was no surprise to me that I was woefully ignorant of pop culture - in fact, I'm rather proud of it. I did well on most of the rest - although some of the questions are very obscure. A chance to learn a lot, too.

Environment: 1200

International: 680 (hides face in shame)
Politics: 580 (shoots self in head)

I wouldn't say it was really a global literacy quiz as most of the questions were American-based.

Boy, did I suck at THIS!
It was interesting, though.
Cate, I'm with you:
I wear it as a badge of honor
that I'm so woefully ignorant of
"pop culture"......could this mean
I'm spending my time on more important
matters?
Thanks!

Tim, the first few times I took it, I couldn't even figure out what I was supposed to do (as far as matching the icons to the answers), so I "timed out" before I could do it.

However, after trying it several times during the day, I have now been dubbed as "You are frighteningly intelligent -- or really good at rigging quizzes," so I've decided to use it as an "Alzheimer's test."

LOL

Great fun, Cate! Why, out of all the categories did I sweat the POLITICS the most? I guess with all the posted news lately under politics, I figured I should have gotten them ALL right! (I didn't, but was happy I got all their quotes right!) Now, why wasn't there something on relationships included? Ha! Ha!
