Err... You do know the highest level on the first quiz is "Genius"? I got G, G, G, E. (135) (4 Gs was rated 140) Futzing around with the quiz revealed that the correct answer to the least-widely-spoken-language question was apparently Hindi. I checked it against several sources some of which confirm that, and some of which agree with me, Arabic. I don't see what "General Knowledge" has to do with intelligence, anyway. Intelligence and memory/learnedness are not the same. I'll bet a lot of people lost points on that who are smarter than the quiz suggests. Even though examples I've seen match up well with the same people's results on real IQ tests, I wouldn't put much stock in it. I'm sure you're smarter than that.
