Oxford Quiz
Oxford College Quiz
Can you hold your own with these college kids? Match Your Knowledge With Oxford. In these days of specialization it helps to have knowledge in many things, not just your field of study. Here are 50 questions adapted from a piece first researched and edited by the Gallop organization and printed in numerous publications—styled a sort of cultural Olympics. They were put to 1100 students in four American and eight British universities. It was reported the students of Oxford University scored highest, answering an average of 35 questions correctly. Durham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Liverpool, Aberdeen and Birkbeck tied for second with a 26 average, as did American universities Yale and Princeton. The universities of Indiana and Georgia came in with an average of 21 correct. We know you are smart in your chosen profession, but are you also broadly informed? Now you can match wits with these college brains and discover how wide, rather than deep, is you knowledge. Be liberal in judging yourself, that was the policy in grading the university students. If you would rather take this quiz with verbal prompts and some clues (that could especially be handy when you are able to hear the language portion) grab a pencil and go to the archives at this site to hear it on radio program #80.
