www.isi.org/quiz.aspx?q=F...75-41E0-9CF3-072BB31E2692 Are you more knowledgeable than the average citizen? The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Can you do better? Questions were drawn from past ISI surveys, as well as other nationally recognized exams. This is not an easy test and can be quite humbling.

You answered 30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 % A few of them were tricky. Stone, you should delete the answer so you don't give anything away.
Ok, sorry.

"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause." -Padme, Star Wars III, Sith
wow, I'm impressed by your scores.
I've reached the age where everything used to better, even if it wasn't.
I usually do well on multiple choice, but on this one there were two questions I just didn't know, and one that I still think I was right on but it said the answer was different. Anyways, the average college educator only getting 55% right is pitiful for a multiple choice test where by guessing alone you can get 20% right on average.

Well, congratulate me! I did better than the 43rd President and several candidates for the Republican nomination.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits. Albert Einstein

You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %. A bunch of pinko nonsense was the only reason I missed one. I remember seeing a picture of Christine a few years ago. I scored higher than she did because I am older than she is. Young people nowadays don't learn anything in the schools.

Well, congratulate me! I did better than the 43rd President and several candidates for the Republican nomination. But you didn't do better than me. Nyah, na, na - na-na. Thhhhhhhhhpppp! ;-)
hehe, I think I am the youngest on this thread, and you are right, I didn't learn much of anything in school.

Girls are soooo stupid. And icky. :-P
I got 29, but could've probably only answered a couple, three of the questions outright without having a choice of answers. Once you eliminate the obviously wrong or stupid answers, you're usually left with only one or two choices. Basically it comes down to deduction and successive approximation.
I got 87.88%.
