I believe that’s the one I got wrong also. Wasn’t sure. Shame on me.

You can find out - “overall” score pops first, click below and you get details by question.

I only missed the one about how many troops are in Afghanistan... silly me went HIGH.

I’d bet that few of us would get 50% if we had to answer the questions outright. Multiple choice is more of a test of recall and in some cases educated guessing rather than knowledge.

Missed the health care question on cost. I KNEW the answer they thought was right....a loaded question so I said it was about the same....I don’t believe the ‘true’ cost of healthcare is worse. I believe it is artificially inflated because of Government and effin’ lawyers.

Is this for real? Wow, we have a lot of seriously ignorant people (I assume) in this country.

12 for 12. Better than 98% of the people!

Not that hard, but I admit I guessed on Stock Market though I thought it was the right answer; the others, there was no doubt !

Sheesh, I bet 98% of Freepers average at least 11 out of 12 if not all correct, such as we are better informed, intelligent, not to mention, better looking! lol

“I wish they’d say which one I missed.”

You’ll probably have to take the test again unless you can pull it up from your cache or history or whatever, but after you do so, on the last screen telling you how your result, there is a link to “demographic results” or something like that. Click on that link.

There will be a kind of bar chart showing you with 11 correct answers and showing the average correct answers for various groups.

Below that is a list of the questions showing how you and each of the groups did for each question.

In that list there should be a red “incorrect” for whatever you got wrong.

I got them all right proving once again that by spending many, many hours a day reading FR and depending on it as your only source of the news makes you the Universal Man (or Woman). We don’t need no stink’n New York Times and CBS News to stay informed.
