This one is about naming historical figures. There's the usual US bias, but
the questions are quite international:

https://www.exploredplanet.com/trending/quiz-can-you-name-these-historical-figures/

My result:

You scored 56 out of 61
ARE YOU A HISTORIAN?
Based on your stellar results, you’re either a historian or a time
traveler. Please take us back in time!

I got 59 and I feel foolish that I forgot that Plato was Socrates student, not his teacher.

They show a picture of Marie Antoinette and state this person was the
last queen of France. This completely ignores the July Monarchy thta
lasted from 1830 to 1848, with King Louis Philippe and Queen Maria
Amalia. Later, of course Napoleon III rules with his consort Eugenie,
but he reined as Emperor so she never had the title of queen.

Abysmal - I only got 49 but strangely the same comment:
You scored 49 out of 61 Retry
ARE YOU A HISTORIAN?

The quiz appears to be intended for Americans. We barely know when our own
civil war was, and that was in the 1800s.

58 out of 61, same comment. Most of those were trivially easy; I guessed
one right and got three wrong by not guessing right.

Same here. Most of them I recognised the photo, and the ones I didn’t I
often knew the answer, and then when I didn’t the guesses were often very

Congrats, history buff! You’re clearly a history fan!

A lot of writers, I do not know anything about books and writers.

Nobody from The Netherlands.

A lot of lucky guesses, but also a lot wrong.
