What's your literacy IQ?: Test yourself on your literacy and general knowledge : 1,200 questions on subjects from abacus to zygotes by Norma Gleason
It is important to remember that the author does say that the main purpose of the book is to "divert you, entertain you, and challenge you." In those aims, it succeeded. That said, I think if the book claims to "test" literacy IQ, far more effort should have been made to ensure accuracy. The music questions, in particular, are questionable. Haydn is spelled wrong. Handel's famous oratorio is misnamed. These errors are pedestrian, yes, but really could have been avoided by having an show more authoritative proofreader.
