I Have a Feeling that ONLY the SMART Folks are Commenting.
There are more than 219 hits, but only 20 responses, and all those who are responding as doing so because they aced the test.
I'd appreciate everyone who took the test to post their scores. I would like some company in the 58% correct range. I know I'm not the only one who scored in and around this range. It is really okay if you scored less than those who are posting, because I shared my failure. and failure is part of success. One has to fail before the can realize a weakness and do something to improve that weak link in thier armor.
No one should be ashamed of any score. Look at the lead story, the average college educator is scoring 55%, and most Americans scored 49%. It's really okay to be average. If it weren't, I'd be off in a corner, crying my eyes out. :laugh:

I guess I may have been a little tired :sleep: However, a second chance always gives you a chance to see things a little differently. I did improve. Not at the level my fellow BB members have reported, but I'm now 20% better than the average citizen, and 14% better than the average college educator.
Man, I feel so much smarter today!:smilewinkgrin:

I'm like Dr. Bob. I think some of my answers were correct and theirs were wrong. -

That is not too bad for a computer science geek. -
The OP didn't say that this was for Americans, but having followed the link, I had a go, and mostly by guesswork got 26 out of 33 correct - 78.79%

Two of us have taken it so far, I only posted mine. The others are teens so don't know if that counts.
I think you're going to find higher scores with anyone who responds because most of those who take it are going to be ones who are interested in taking such a quiz, and nobody's going to be interested in taking it if they don't have much concern for the topic. Stands to reason that those taking it are scoring higher than average. That it's voluntary and only those who think it will be interesting/fun are taking it is giving unbalanced results.
BTW, I'm NOT smarter than a fifth grader, tried those and lost most every time.
I'll have to go back and look at the test and the answers again, I do remember thinking a factual one I got wrong was actually correct and I wanted to answer the flood one different, but had to go with what I figured would be the dumb way political thinking works so I answered what I figured they'd be pushing it as rather than what I still believe the actual answer is...which I forget, would have to go look again. -
I started the test and realized that I was just guessing at most of the answers and gave up. :BangHead:

I am astonished that the average score for college educators in America should be so low as 55%. That means that there would have been some who scored well below 55%. (I'm assuming that the term "college educators" means teachers/lecturers/professors in US colleges and universities). -

I scored 81.82%. I thought it was fairly easy as some of the answers were clearly untrue.

Too many idealogues and not enough educators.
