Give this test and tell us how you did.
It’s not my own created test of course.
It’s by the website Gapminder. They try to spread facts about the world.
Your data/answers won’t be shared anywhere, it’s for your self assessment
Just 13 questions, hardly will take 2 mins. But you’ll learn something
- Sort By
It’s by an author
Late Hans Rosling.
Read his book- Factfulness.
And you’re free to search the data in UN website.
Btw, it’s what most people will score (including me)
The Author even took these surveys in Meetings which had the top CEOs.
Even meetings which had the Nobel Laureates, professors, politicians, activists. And in many other meetings in some 4-5 years. Almost all of them did poorly.
He and his website tried/is trying to improve the distorted worldview we all have.
I just wanted to share what I found will be of meaning.
ditto🤷🏻♂️
but i intend to retake the test without going through the correct answers
i used to do better (than this) with Mensa puzzles, when younger😪
OP if you do regularly take interest in such brain teasers; then do consider getting various stages and types of Mensa society puzzles 👌🏽🤙🏼
in hindsight (and without the sword of the timer), i can narrow down on at-least 3 questions which i got wrong. (obviously without looking at the answers or researching any questions)
23%
Ohh yeah baby got 2 right 😈 15%😘
Nice!
Impressive 
Got 62%(8 correct out of 13). Got 2 questions wrong for assuming women situation worse than it actually is & 2 questions wrong for underestimating/overestimating people health.Last one can be answered correctly only by those who have read this specific fact(aka exam type question) because overall bio diversity is without any doubt is in serious danger.
@OnlineLootera I got above score not by reading any books but by just reading ToI editorial pages daily. I don’t watch tv news or social media/youtube/online news(except for tech news on reputable global sites). Sadly majority nowadays don’t follow this.

Great score.
And yes, ofcourse bio-diversity is a big issue.
Even poverty, population, infant mortality.
It’s just that things can be both bad and better
In the women education question(the 9 years one), around 20% of the women rights activists were able to answer correctly.
Now the thing is they are the one of the main reasons why womens are in better condition right now. It’s just that they themselves were unaware of their achievements. This test doesn’t tell who is more intelligent or anything. This is something unique.
Btw, I also didn’t follow the basic things. And I too scored poorly in my first attempt 
A lot of it was guess work.
Of course it’ll be guess work.
But if our mind is postive and we know that things are improving, we’ll select the best answer and not the worst.
69% correct.
Scored 23%
This test looks rigged
