84.85...

Seriously embarrassed. I should have done better.

[Lockbar]

I scored 93.94%.. Two wrong. I feel pretty good. They say the average so far is 74%. I think if they scored everybody in a grocery store or disco it might be around 33%. At Reverend Wright’s church, maybe 13%.

[saveliberty]

I got a 90.81% - 30 out of 33,

[pineybill]

The average score on this test by College student’s is in the 50’s. I scored 100, but seem to remember taking a version of this test about a year and a half ago, when I got 2 or 3 wrong.
Is there any doubt after seeing the results why a Marxist like Obama who is so opposed to our most important American traditions gets elected by our “yuts” who learn nothing in our schools except how we oppressed the Indians, Slaves, and then our Japanese Citizens in World War 2?

Not bad for 6:30 am

29 out of 33. I missed the Lincoln Douglass debate question. Also missed the reduce taxes increase spending question as to what a typical govt,. reaction would be.

[doodad]

I got a 90+ and strongly disagree with the ones I missed.

Question 30 is bogus.

30) Which of the following fiscal policy combinations would a government most likely follow to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?

A. increasing both taxes and spending
B. increasing taxes and decreasing spending
C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending
D. decreasing both taxes and spending

I answered A. Because thats the kind of foolhardy thing the government ALWAYS (well, with very few exceptions) does in times of recessions. Isnt that what our government is doing now? But according to this quiz, the correct answer is "C". Well, I agree on principle. BUT the question asked what governments WOULD do. It didnt ask what the government SHOULD do. So I answered what the government "would" do.

Ah well. My score: "You answered 29 out of 33 correctly — 87.88 %"

Whoops: I mean I agree with "D". Decreasing spending and taxing

[jla]

You agree, on principle, with C? What do you not like about D?

[dancusa]

Got a 93. Left public school in 1976. Present liberal college grads would be lucky to make a 50. Leftist indoctrination is stupidization.

[RebelTex]

Oops - missed one. EOA (early onset Alzheimers), LOL.

My results:
“You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %”

[Psalm 73]

Thanks for the link - I got an 88% - I’m shocked - I thought I’d do 95%+

[joe fonebone]

28 out of 33.....85%

[PA Engineer]

You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %

Missed 8 and 33. I disagree with their answer for 33. I also thought Roosevelt was going to impeach the dissenting justices.

[ml/nj]

I got the same one wrong.

ML/NJ

[Condor51]

I got a 96.97 %, 32 out of 33 correctly. I missed on #33.

STOO-PID^™ Chicago educational system (HS). /s
it was in the '60s, and it was good.

[napscoordinator]

Question #30 - C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending

What the heck? I never would have thought that answer. Didn’t President Bush cut taxes and now Obama is spending money. There is something wrong with this answer...

[napscoordinator]

Well you are a detective after all...lol. Congratulations!!!
