Here is a knowledge quiz about logical fallacies. The quiz consists of 14 multiple choice questions. Just try it. Once you have taken the quiz, you can see how many questions you got right and you can also see what the correct answer is for each question. I'm curious if you encounter errors in reasoning that you didn't know about yet.
