I'm not sure it's exactly accurate, because it only asks three questions for each subject, which I feel, isn't enough to measure if you have gaps.

My gaps were:

Religion and Theology
History
Law
Politics
Philosophy

Urg, I feel stupid now.

History
Politics

which I feel is mighty untrue when testing my knowledge for what is taught in Germany. US president... surely, that is not important unless you're American.

one of my gaps is not being affected by anyones feelings.
i can not understand the cheer that flows through people when they watch sport.
when people look wild eyed and stimulated when they watch sport, i feel like i am the only one of my species.

i can not understand the tears people feel when they recount things that they find sad.
when they recount the sad times they have and they start to feel down, i can not feel down with them.

i do not have any gaps in my concept of justice.

i have a major gap in my awareness of community attitudes.
i can not have any idea what is how they feel.
an example of where i am thrust into it is when we have to vote (compulsory in australia)
voting is usually at primary schools (elementary schools) and everyone is so seemingly aware of what is happening in their community (mine too i guess).

they all mill around with their kids and friends and they talk about things i have no knoweledege of
like there maybe a kindergarten being sold in the area and all the parents are angry. they went to meetings about it and everyone knows each other.
and there are barbecues smoking away and smelling nice with sausages that i want.

people approach me and ask what i think about this or that, and i have no idea about any of it at all.

so i have a gap in community attitudes.

also i have a gap in being able to console people.

i can not summon adequate feelings to console someone.
i can not care enough to be sincere.

if it was terminal cancer that they revealed, then of course i would panic at the inevitable loss of my friend, and that may be consoling to them (by product), but if it is that their mother died or they smashed their car, then i have not much power to devote to their plight.

i have a gap in most areas of interaction with people.

i am intellectually unimpaired, and my gaps are all about relating to people.

I don't mean to gloat, but I have no gaps. In fact, I only got three questions wrong on the whole test.

However, I am terrible at learning to speak foreign languages.

I have Gaps in knowledge/skills which are related to arts and crafts which in my case I essentially have no skill in them only at a subnormal level and that concerning the interaction of people. Mainly due to being basically an artistic imbecile with less artistic skill than someone with Down's syndrome. Since I left school with very few qualifications I have had to go to college to gain qualifications in something I am good at which is science and I am very good at Organic Chemistry which I can talk about it not like a layman but like a scientist. I know that a tertiary alcohol is the product between an ester and a Grignard reagent. I can answer questions on the BBC quiz show University Challenge which is broadcast here in England I am also very good at spelling; any mistakes in my spelling is down to either carelessness or being under slept. I am not musical If I try to be it only sounds like a cat in distress. I know more than most people about language. I am also good at history but I think that I am generally creative as a rhesus monkey. Since I left school with qualifications that are not worth the paper they are written on I would therefore be unemployable in this case.

Economics
Politics

My gap was law.

Yeah, I am not as good at the terminology, I am going to take a class on law soon though.

In any case, I actually object to the methodology. Particularly because the economics section was really more about politics, economists generally don't care about the names of these institutes, but rather about theories.

"You have no gaps in your knowledge!"

More like no gaps in my ability to take tests even when I don't really know the answer. Have at you!
