I didn’t see 33 either...they either got real tough real fast or else we have some dumbo professors...[yeah I know...]
Anyway, a Philosopher King here proud to be seated in these halls to confer, consult and otherwise hobnob with my fellow kings. :]

In your experience. I realize arguing for academia in FR is a lost cause, but I will continue to do so. College Professors lean liberal, for a number of reasons, but there are many good professors who are conservative, or not political at all. (Some of the Boffins I know are brilliant but wouldnt know a vote from a plow, but brilliant in applied mathematics). I have to agree that most university faculty that I have known over the years would likely do far better than 55% on this very simple set of questions --- even the applied math guys.

” This is scary “
16% of the general population got the “Free Market vs Central Planning” question right - and only 10% of the politicians...
I think I see the problem, here....

OK. That’s better. I got 31 out of 33, but I could swear I clicked “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” and not “Life, liberty and property.” I wuz robbed!

Well I too wondered about the ten questions (got 100%) - then did the 33 one. Got 32 out of 33 correct 96.97 %.
Missed the last one: “If taxes equal government spending, then:” - Bummer!
All in all, pretty easy. Thanks.

” Is someone keeping a running score? “
Not that I know of - but so far, only two of us has ‘fessed up to “7 out of 10” the rest have been 9s and 10s...
(And I haven’t seen a score below “30 out of 33” on the long-form test)
Pretty fast company here on FR... ;)

Thank you for telling me that! I was getting a bit nervous that I was the only one that missed 3 out of 10. It helped even further that you missed the exact same ones!

I ‘missed’ that one, too, but ‘under protest’ — I think the ‘zero debt’ answer is equally, if not more, true as the ‘correct’ answer....

9 out of 10 and they were easy. I messed up one question that I should have gotten right, but over thought it.
