I once tried to put together a philosophy trivia quiz together. It was mildly successful, but now that I’ve seen what a “really well done (if somewhat prurient) philosophy trivia quiz”:http://web.mit.edu/philos/www/triviaquiz06/ looks like, I’m glad I won’t be trying again.

This quiz really is the ultimate procrastination device. There are 138 questions to test your knowledge of the history of philosophy and the histories of some philosophers. (I got at least one right – I knew question 12!)

Anyone with sufficient time on their hands is welcome to “try the quiz”:http://web.mit.edu/philos/www/triviaquiz06/ and leave a note in comments saying how many they got right.
