A pretty good test of basic knowledge of our government. It's disappointing that the overall average score is 49%, and the average for college educators is 55%. If that's representative of those voting in elections (and I have no reason to believe it's not), we're doomed!

10 for 10 here. It wasn’t that hard and to think that college educators only scored 55% is scary.

I scored 90%, which I’ll bet most conservatives will equal or beat. I expect most Democrats would score 50% or less.

80%. It should have been 90% if I had thought for 5 seconds longer.

9 out of 10.

Missed the first one and don't know why. I'll blame it on lack of caffeine.

I just took it in 4 minutes. 80% - one miss due to trying to complete without fully reading.

That makes me - a career geek - apparently better educated than a lot of folks.

And certainly better educated than our congresscritters.

10 of 10, including two I wasn’t too confident of. Maybe this is the day I should start playing the lottery.

Now that’s interesting - when I click on the link I provided, I get a different test than the one I took (only 10 questions), which had 33 questions, and some of the 10 are different than the 33. I’ll look into it.

Well, I was anointed “Philosopher King” (10 out of 10 right) on this test!

So liberal bloggers who re-copy my posts as examples of “Serbian fascism” or “Tea Party racism” should knock it off!

90% here. Do I get a lollypop?

The problem with the 55% scoring of academia is that, while they KNOW the facts, they don't accept them.

An example is the concept of a "living" Constitution. A living document indicates that it can be tortured and slaughtered on a whim. That's why the Leftists like the construct.

I think they were talking about the 33 question test that is available if you go directly to their site at the top of the post...not the 10 question that your link brings up....
