First of all, taking this test makes you feel like you’re a total idiot. At least it did me. Muddling the way through, you find yourself wondering why you agreed to take the test. And if you’re taking it at midnight, when your test taking skills are probably at their lowest point, you’re inclined to think you made the worst pick when you decided to take the test ‘right now’.
I still managed to get a 24/50 score.
BTW: I doubt your sweetheart got a 47. With only 50 questions, the results would have to be in even numbers. He may have gotten a 46 or 48.
I try to pay attention to science programs when I can, but this was a pretty tough test for a person who hasn’t been in school for 40 plus years, and wasn’t heavily into the sciences when they were.
The silly idea that a president should be part scientist, or this deep genius (such as what they claim Obama is) is predicated on the horrifyingly bad idea that we should be a centrally planned society. A society that is centrally planned of course needs such a person.
In an American society, the people who decide the course of their lives should be the educated ones. Thats us. A president only need be deeply honest, moral in his dealings, and dedicated to following a simple set of instructions. (the constitution)
Yes, I was referring to 38 and 47 out of 50 questions. So my score was 76% and his was 94%. My guy is rather bright and a math genius who is also good at electronics. I am weak in those areas. I took the test at 2 in the morning, not my best time, but doubt it would have made more than 1 or 2 extra points. We are both retired so age may have been a factor in my score, but not his.
Pass this on, annoy and astound your friends. ;-)
