General knowledge is gained through experience and intellect. It is one’s brainpower to apprehend details and facts of his/her surroundings. A person having acquired education of 16 years or so on might have lesser general knowledge than the one who is 12th class or even matriculation student. Higher general knowledge is dependent upon intelligence, long-term semantic memory, personality, and achievements. A person who has higher general knowledge tends to be more accurate in decision making and judging personalities.
