Very Eurocentric, and the majority of these are renaissance figures. Any list of medieval influential figures without anybody from the Islamic Golden Age is severly lacking. Examples: Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ibn Al-Haytham, Al-Bairuni, Al-Farabi, Al-Razi, Al-Zahrawi, Al-Jazari, Jabir ibn Hayyan, Ibn Rushd (Averros), and Ibn Khaldun. I don't blame ya at all, cause these figures are rarely ever mentioned in Western history books, but their impact on science and philosophy was instrumental. I doubt that more than 10% of quiztakers would get some of these names if they were on the quiz.

Honestly the fact that Ibn Battuta is so low is shocking to me, he's one of the most famous historical Muslims in the west and only at 20%

There are also some reasonably well-known Islamic political figures that could be included, like Harun al-Rashid, Salahuddin (Saladin), and Mehmet the Conqueror.
