This is a cool test.
It shows results in a number of ways. It indicates that the majority of Americans haven't the slightest idea as to what is going on.
It's no wonder our politicians take such advantage of us.
This is an interesting and simple test. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. The results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue and that's pretty scary. There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. Test your knowledge with 13 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did.

My exact reaction as I looked at the breakdown!
We do have some pretty sharp and well informed Freepers on the distaff side.
It would be interesting to see results broken down by other demographics too.
But that would probably be categorized as a hate crime.
I agree, most people would probably score low, not because they are stupid or anything, but rather because they don’t care.
Like many here, I aced the ‘test’. The demographics were interesting. I wish it had been broken out by party affiliation.

shaking head...
only one though.
13 of 13... along with the other 8% of the test takers.
Did I just win the Lotto or what? :-)
