The General Semantics Knowledge Test

© For Internet use only, except with the written permission of the author. Version 1

This test is for people with some GS knowledge who want to test out how much they know of the basics. The test will take about 15 minutes to complete.

Warning: If you leave your computer alone for more than 20 minutes the test session will time out and you will have to start the test again from the beginning.

The test follows these steps:

  1. You read a question and some instructions about what to do.
  2. A set of options will then be provided. After the option or options have been ticked, you then click the next question button at the bottom of the option list to see the next question.
  3. Only choose an option if you are reasonably sure that it is correct. Incorrectly chosen options reduces your score by 1. So if you are unsure that any option is correct, choose the Don't know option.
