This is certainly a hard challenge. The problem is many were either famous before photography, or photography was in it's infancy, so their images are rarely seen.
I’ve not seen pictures of most of these historical figures but I am happy that I knew who 37 of them were when the names flashed up. Thank you for posting this as it was a fun challenge.
This quiz popped up in my recommended today. I love quizzes. 26 of 40 I knew from the paintings or photographs. The others I had heard most of their names before but just had no idea what they looked like.
I did slightly better, but I wanted the quiz to end early, so I could increase my chances at getting more right. No such luck. As I continued, my percentage of correct responses declined. Oh, well! Fudgesickle!🍭
Faces don't really test your historical knowledge. If you had a blurb like "discoverer of uranium", "author of the theory of relativity", " first president of the US", etc., then this quiz would have been more useful.
I honestly find too many Anglophone figure, especially American. Why not Michelangelo? Vivaldi? Suleiman? Robespierre? Voltaire? Or Woytijla. I never heard some names of some of these Anglophones people. I guess it's OK for an American or AngloSaxon perspective, but why Victoria and not, you know, Caesar, Charlemagne, Augustus?
I got 22 correct ... I confess, I had never even heard of 2 or 3 of them... some were basically iconically recognizable ...some were educated guesses. When I saw Pasteur, I said ..."hmm..I don't know, but he's French..." ...so, was kinda on the right track..
Thanks a lot for this I discover your channel it's great! what is great about your quizz is that these people can be categorized as important people in history you have to know! so it's really helpful! really difficult because of old photographies we don't know their faces but we know their names! but very challenging!
24/40. I think I got every photo one right except Pasteur and Florence Nightingale (who was pretty good-looking I'd say), and I got almost every portrait wrong except the real obvious ones like Napoleon and Washington.
The twelve wrong were all painted, except for Freud…so familiar but his name wouldn’t come in time. Seem many, many portraits of Marie Antoinette, none of them looked like the one shown here

Next time please give us the clue of their achievements. Thanks.
34/40
The images shown would be how we know them since we only have them as references.
Only fans of your thing and they say its the best
I got 30.I'm officially a moron.@@martaavendanofernandez8979
About 33 out of 40. This was a good quiz, much more challenging than multiple choice quizes, which I can almost always guess correctly.
Thanks and well done! 😃
Agreed, would have scored a lot higher if it was mc
33 out of 40, Mr. fancy pants! HAHA!
i didn't recognize smith and watt.

I understand what you mean. I kicked myself of a lot of them.

I scored the same as you! I bet we did better than most people!
impressive very nice
We got the same score and I totally agreed with you that we know lots of them but sometimes never see or be unfamiliar with their face
Weeeeeeee…
YASSS
Pretty poor 20/40, although I'd heard of them all. Mistook 3 early ones for Copernicus and then missed him when he finally came up :D

if i really tried hard, i can probably name the artist...i can look it up but i won't because it will come to me in the middle of some obscure thought
Great fun. Learned a few too. For the 10 who gave a thumbs down…why?!
Coz they're dumb! Lol Nah, who knows 😀
@@MareeStone798ms no because commies should never be put next to other great historical figures, its an insult.
27/40 those guys with the long beards got me
For Marie Curie you should’ve picked a photo of her when she was older, as that would’ve been more recognizable.
Most of them were dead easy, but I had no idea what Simon Bolivard, Dickens, Descartes. Pasteur, Watt, or Copernicus looked like!
yeah, you would need a history or art background to know some of these people
33 correctas. No tenía conocimiento de imagen de algunas personajes como Earhart. Austin. Catalina la grande y Rosa Park.
10/40…. Dang this one was really hard for me. I think I need a serious refresher course on history!
35/40 - question 40 was a tough one ...
Good quiz!
Thanks Darlene 😃 !!
8/40😂and the worst is i have heard most of them, but completly forgot it! My history sucks
33. I crumbled toward the end. I couldn’t take an educated guess.
Only missed 6 or 7, which is not too bad. Hadn't heard of about 4 of those. Great quiz.
Thanks !!
36/40. Missed Dickens, Pastur, Watt and Adam Smith.
The same four I missed, thought Dickens was Carl Marx.
Here's a tip to get a higher score. Mute the audio. It will stop the annoying, mind numbing "music" to allow you to think of the answer more quickly.
32/40. Some I had no clue and others I've seen a different painting of them. Overall, an excellent quiz.
Thank you and well done Dennis! 😃
I was very disapointed with myself getting only 27. Good quiz.
Not a bad score 👍
U should be happy with yours, i only got 8/40
@UCFD-xjKFp40FytE_bQVLaIA 20, which makes this more embarrising
@@TheQuizChannel Thank you. I named Copernicus three times except when his picture came up.
Please would u mind making a video for what they are really well known of. Please
I knew all these...but not all by the photos presented...LOL !!!
This was tough, usually ace these things. Great instructive quiz.
37. Missed Freud...of course I knew who it was, just couldn't pull the name. Watt and Smith, I had no idea.
27/40 if only I had just a few more seconds
Faces don't really test your historical knowledge. If you had a blurb like "discoverer of uranium", "author of the theory of relativity", " first president of the US", etc., then this quiz would have been more useful.
That’s a nice idea, thanks Amos
Just to be annoying: there were a few people involved in uranium research (none of them featured in the quiz:).
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
Fantastic quiz. Difficult but educational. I got maybe 10 only but not embarrassed. I knew about 20 of these figure.
Very good quiz. Really testing but I got 80% correct.
Thanks Andrew and nice score 👍
Wow this quiz showed me how little school actually taught. I'm gonna go look every one of these up that I got wrong now.
26. Challenging. Good quiz.
41/50 a few I never even heard of...tough quiz
41 was not bad.
Considering there was only 40 questions. 😂
29/40 Not bad. The scientists tripped me up a bit like Corpenicus lol
Maree par score is 32
@@kenyk1254 Well done!

34 out of 40. Problems with Jane Austen, Florence Nightingale, Adam Smith, Rosa Parks, Louis Pasteur, and James Watts.
35. That's good enough for me! Fun quiz with some challenges in there.
Despite being 15 in iran, i got 26/40 i think that's a good score but gotta learn more!
Marie Curie-Sklodowska , 2 x Nobelpreis!!!
17/40 A hard quiz! I hadn't seen pictures of many of them, but a fun to do....!
22/40 I'm suprised that I got over 20. I know some of the Names that I didn't get right, but never saw the Faces befor.
right there with ya. cheers.
same here ...got 22 ...

24/40, A very tough quiz indeed! Enjoyed it.
Me too! 24/40😊
This is my favorite quiz. Can you make a historical figures quiz part 2?
Wow. It's a great compilation. I got 28 out of 40. Very interesting quiz.
Thank you 😃
21/40. Very hard. 3 I have never heard of.
20/40 most were never taught of in my schools
Drew a blank on Jane Austen, mistook Bolívar for Santa Anna, hesitated on Da Vinci and Shakespeare but my first instinct was correct. Good quiz!
I got 35/40
Tough quiz! Darwin was easy LOL! I missed 15.

35/40. Some pictures look like they have been processed through an AI art program
Very interesting 👍👍
i got 30 correct the ones i got wrong i have never seen the pics before
Good quiz
Thanks Jan !! 😃
Was away too easy
😜
31/40, rene decaartes and copernicus looked like twins
Great quiz, I dropped 16.
24/40. I think I got every photo one right except Pasteur and Florence Nightingale (who was pretty good-looking I'd say), and I got almost every portrait wrong except the real obvious ones like Napoleon and Washington.
That was a very young Florence Nightingale. Most pictures I’ve seen showed her at older ages. I guessed that one correctly, though.
29/40 quite tough, but great one!
19/40
Real bad 20/40 kicked by behind.
31 of 40. That's bad for me.
27/40 I thought I’d do better. Some of them were on the tip of my tongue but couldn’t recall within the timeframe. Great video quiz. Thanks
Thanks James and you’re welcome 😃
Same here
34. I loved it
28/40. Very interesting and at the same time not very easy.
I didn't do too badly: missed (or couldn't identify) four of them. But I loved this quiz! Thank you for putting it on.
31/40, good quiz.
39 right,thank you
14/40
But I’m in highschool so cut me some slack 😆 I was guessing everyone with hair buns as Beethoven
34/40 - I missed Jane Austen, Adam Smith, Louis Pasteur, Rosa Parks, Rene Descartes and Christopher Columbus
Managed 35 this time .🇬🇧
26/40. Very good quiz.
10/40 knew the picture but could not remember the name
I lost count but I think I got about 30 right??? I honestly only knew Margaret thatcher because she looks like a Margaret 😭
Wow. Hard! I got 23/40. I thought I would do much better.
23/40. Thanks for the interesting quiz. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thanks Maria 😃 greetings from the Netherlands 👋
29/40... Ohhhhh Snap!!! Lolxx 😂😜🇬🇧
35/40
Not bad, I guess^^
(I just can't remember some of their names:))
34 /40 some I've haven't seen before!
Great quiz. You used the most common pictures of them online. I got 34.
Thanks and well done 😃 !!
I also got 34! No bad for an ol lady! 😉
I hope you added some information about their legacy. As a take away. But I'm happy about ur content. I know some of them..☺
Thanks Iowiena, that’s a nice suggestion!
I actually don't know most of them 🥺🥺🥺
As a Swiss citizen I don't know much of English history. Although I enjoyed the quiz and lernt a lot
Thank you.
30/40. Good quiz. 👍😀
Thank you Sherry 😃
31/40. I don't really even know who James Watt and Adam Smith are. Philosophers maybe? Off to study.
Brilliant quiz and I'm sorry to put this but 36 reminds me of Keanu Reeves character from Bill and Ted.
I scored 25 out of 40.
The twelve wrong were all painted, except for Freud…so familiar but his name wouldn’t come in time. Seem many, many portraits of Marie Antoinette, none of them looked like the one shown here
please make more quiz like this💓
36/40 Thank You. I enjoyed the quiz very much. 😊
You’re welcome Sherry 😃 and well done !!
I said Marx for Darwin, then I said Darwin for Marx and went "No! I mixed that up already!" Think I got 30/40. Tough one!
12 /40 some of these people I didn't know who they were
Knew most of them, just said the wrong name to the picture but I knew who I meant ;)
🤣
24/40. Enjoyed the quiz.
Had to look up Adam Smith.
Had never heard of him!
This is a Scottish economist. It was he who introduced the concept of the Invisible Hand of the market in the book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
I got 26 right the ones that are very famous before photography got invented are really hard
I got 30 out of 40. Not bad
#36 Copernicus - I guessed that he was Inigo Montoya (from "The Princess Bride.")
35/40. I recognized Amelia Earhart, knew what she is famous for... but couln't find her name in time! 😡
27/40. Ashamed of myself!
20/40 some of these people I haven’t heard from and some of them I have never seen a picture of but I have heard of.
