really simple quiz.
Can't imagine anyone missing any of those questions.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

What is really, really, really scary ...
What is really, really, really scary is that it said that 100% right was better than 93% of the respondents.
​
It might be a good quiz at the elementary school level, but I'd expect even any kids in 5th or 6th grade to get a 100% on that one.

Re: Average Adults
Based on the norms I don't doubt you.
​
However that is really, really, really, really scary.
​
Sounds like the average American must be way below average. Definitely not Lake Wobegon material.

Re: Average Adults
Seems it's more like 90+% of Americans are below average.
