I'm a puzzle users are smart. After all, they are masters at solving jigsaw puzzles.
We also know that they love brain teasers and trivia questions. We wondered then, how well would our users score on a quiz that is similar to the SAT.
So we created our own SAT quiz, and administered the quiz to thousands of people first. It turns out those from New Jersey are the smartest in the country, with a 73% pass rate, followed by residents from Massachusetts. While Texas didn't have the best overall score, they did outperform on our math section.
We know it's been a while since you took a standardized test, but try our quiz below to see how you stack up. Good luck!
