manderlyh Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I got a 65% Well, it has been a long time since I've taken a lot of economics and history classes--some of the questions confused me--I didn't know what some of them were asking, and the philosophy ones just pissed me off.

SteveAJones Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 The quiz obviously needed more Jimmy Page questions I'm not exactly proud of the score I attained, but then again I'll bet most of the general population scores far less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I got exactly the same score as you Steve--70%. I'm not proud of it either but it is far better than I was expecting. As usual with any test, I missed the ones I was most confidant of and answered (guessed??) correctly the ones I was least sure about. Del, sign me up for your next course.

You've got that correct. Most Americans do terrible on these tests. I only do reasonably well because they are multiple choice, and with only a few clues, one can make a pretty good guess based on the framing of the question. But I do have a vast resereve of mindless trivia stored up from watching a lot of Jeopardy and playing Trivial Pursuit. Just thank God there were no questions about opera or ballet. But still I am shocked at how many Americans know so little about the founding fathers, our constitution and American history in general. Very sad.

Very sad. Ask the average American who Henry Knox or Nathaniel Greene are and they'll give you a face of sheer confusion, one that asks "You speakin English?"
