Quiz: Determine your education level

also worth noting is that i hit 'try again' and it's a completely different set of questions. :-\
I must be a damn genius, because I know my level of education without a quiz telling me.
The science and history portions were a snap. The art and literature...not so much. I love a good WW2 documentary, or some outer space and science nerdery. Historical art in terms of writings of lasting merit, or paintings aren't exactly on my radar. Last year I did read at least 6 or 7 books from a few different series of Terminator novels. 
Unfortunately there were no questions pertaining to 1980's NFL.

I used my masters degree to figure out that they store the answer in the HTML page source so I got 50/50

Pretty much the opposite for me. Of the four subjects you mentioned, my order of knowledge is: literature, art, science, history. (I can't remember dates for ****.)
It put me at two degrees above what I have.
Masters, and I have a bachelors. While I get it doesn't relate at all, it was still fun to take. Thanks for sharing.
Based on the questions I missed, mine is probably

art (but I DID recognize the section of the Sistine Chapel)
I've seen it in person.I managed a correct wing-it guess on the Sistine question.
I took a short humanities class in college that covered just a few artists, architecture, drama, etc. I'd enjoyed and looked up art a fair amount on my own, but it does help if you have someone teaching you things that you can't just tell by looking at a painting. Like, Monet - he does what's called pointillism, which is sort of amazing. He put thousands of little dots of paint on canvas to compose his famous water lilies and such:
That's insane dedication to me, and I find it fascinating - but would never have been able to tell by looking at the painting.
My first grader and I spent about 40 minutes just looking up famous paintings the other night on my iPad, at her request - it was amazing, I was so shocked that she was interested at 6.5. I think your brain is just wired to remember certain types of things, and I think hers is similar to mine - it makes total sense that a more mathematical-leaning mind would remember science and history (with all of its dates) rather than art.
It told me that I am a PHD after I answered the question, "Are you an Iowa State Cyclones fan?" When I answered "Yes" the test was over and I was annointed a PHD.
I think I missed every literature question and it got my bachelor's degree right. I have a terrible memory, so I'm not too surprised.
