Based on this one I can start feeling good about myself again. Maybe I’m not as stupid as the last test indicated.

I don’t buy that ‘Correct Answer’. Am I missing something ?

I got 87% right in that quiz. My weakness is economics. Sigh...time to hit the economic books!

I got 27 of 33 right for 81.82% vs a National average of 49%. Pretty scarey. More private citizens score well on this test than do elected officials, by a rather significant margin.

Cool stuff, and much more detailed than the first quiz on this thread, which is pretty much 5th grade silliness.

8^D
