I think in general the people who score better on these types of tests are more in tune with what is happening around them in the rest of the world. But of course making gross over generalizations is kind of dangerous territory to enter into.

However in my opinion there is something to be said about those who fail to learn from the mistakes of the past being doomed to repeat them.

But for the most part knowing these questions will most likely just help you succeed at Jeopardy.
