Last I heard, Jethro couldn't decide whether to become a brain surgeon or a fry cook.

Not sure if this test qualifies him to be either.

[chiller]

I missed the Islam symbol.....didn’t know the moon had a star associated with it. It was my first choice, but not my final. I’m a loser. Yes very very easy. Scary that nationwide results are so bad, but not surprising.

My wife isn’t an American citizen, doesn’t pay any attention to politics and got 10 out of 13. One of the ones she got wrong was the symbol for the GOP which, since she has never voted, makes sense.

[exDemMom]

12/13, only because I over-complicated one of the questions, the one about the co-founder of Apple. Steve Jobs is so obviously associated with Apple, that I thought the question must mean, “Who was a co-founder of Apple along with Steve Jobs?”

[PA Engineer]

13/13. The scary thing is I did better than 92% of the respondents. This Country is in trouble.

Kagan never smiles.
The wise (cough) Latina always has a * eatin’ smile. Much along the same line as The Won’s arrogant nose. Telling traits.

13/13 with 8% of the population. I bet Freepers are in the 8%. Then again, I scored 16 on the ACT (I was knee crawling drunk when I took it and didn't understand the importance of the ACT) but qualified for MENSA on the AFQT Test (had motivation because if I didn't I'd been an 11B in the Army).

[nuconvert]

It says, 13 questions correct along with 8% of the public.

I’m wondering what the percentage of FReepers would be? 95%?

Last I heard, Jethro couldn't decide whether to become a brain surgeon or a fry cook.

Last I heard he is working as a "double knot" agent under Petraeus.

men beat women in 13 of 13

By a lot. Yutes were abysmal also.

Just in case anyone was wondering it is that why every time you see an Obama sticker on a compact car, there's a young lady behind the wheel... there you go.

[Rusty0604]

I also got 13/13; looks like the 8% are all freepers

[al baby]

Yeah I screwed up on the prime minister of Great Britain and the unemployment numbers I went with 15 percent I thought it a trick question 8.6 was pounded in my head for the last day or so but 15 percent is closer to the real number anyways

[ml/nj]

Stupid test. I got them all right, but I had to guess to some extent on all three photograph questions.

FYI GPS is not Radar

[Aria]

I got all questions right. Yes, it would be nice to know the % for Freepers.

[GOP Poet]

I got 12 out of 13. It was the Islam question I got wrong.

[cpa4you]

I got 12 of 13 right. I thought the question an a symbol associated with Islam was kind of a trick. The “Cresent” can also represent the “Red Cresent Society” or South Carolina.

[Smokin' Joe]

I got 13 right of 13. Scary that so few know even half of that little bit. And we wonder how the US ended up in its current mess...

[Paladin2]

I can only afford a radar detector.

[melsec]

13/13 and I’m Australian. I put the results down to being addicted to FR!
