A miserly 70% 
Mostly educated guesses, some of which came off.
I'd like to try a more Eurocentric test...

80%, wow! Considering that I'm European and was wildly guessing in some cases - mostly correct - I'm quite astonished!

14 out 16. Not bad. However, if you selected the default answer for each question (i.e. the first choice already highlighted) you would gotten 8 out 16.
