The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the test was 49%; college educators scored 55%.
There are 10 questions. Go check the link and see for yourself.
I copied and pasted the computer reply.
I also expect an apology for being called an “Obama supporter”.

Philosopher-King
In ancient Greece, this was Plato’s ideal ruler in The Republic; combines both wisdom and power.
10 of 10, including two I wasn’t too confident of. Maybe this is the day I should start playing the lottery.
The online version had only 10 questions - as most of the other replys here have noted.

The test I took (following the link above) had ten questions.
I got ‘em all right.
As for the other 23...???
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!
29/33 87.88%
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 apologize for the insult - anyone who can even read the questions is obviously not an Obama supporter.
I got 30 of 33 = = = Puritans and tax issues got me.
Don’t see how the others got away with ten questions...
Me too. Marbury vs Madison
Yeeahhhh!!!
I won!

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....
I got 100% on the 33 question test.
