Take the civic literacy test...

Ran across this nifty thing last nite.

I expect WABbers should knock this out of the park and probably throw thier stats out of whack for the month.

The most interesting thing about this is to explore the past findings of this survey.

Politicians are predominantly ignorant and almost half of Americans think it is the Presidents power to declare war!

Very interesting, a bit depressing, and highly supportive of my contention that MOST Americans are stupid! Btwn the public school system and the indoctrination centers(colleges and universities for those who don't get it) this is where we are at.

I missed the Puritan question:(

I'm pretty glad, because a lot of this stuff I didn't learn in high school, since it's relevant to the US. 4 out of the 5 questions I got wrong had to do with US history.

Round up to a 91% for me. I learned most of this waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... takes a breath.....wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the 7th grade. I went to a good public school then. I have to say I owe it all to a card carrying member and public school teacher whose only indoctrinating was presenting the facts.

Missed one more than last time. Last time I only got #30 wrong, and I still think I didn't get it wrong. :)

I mis-read a question and cost me a correct answer. The other 2 were guesses.

[Shamus]

29 correct.Now,do I qualify for citizenship,or should I just marry an American girl?

Errr........ Both!

[Blue]

29 correct.Now,do I qualify for citizenship,or should I just marry an American girl?

IIRC, naturalized citizens scored higher than natural born citizens. Not surprising to me.

And yeah, do like Shamus said!;)

[Mihais]

Lincoln v Douglas sank me.

[USSWisconsin]

I only got 29, I second guessed myself on one - the Gettysburg address and got it wrong when I changed the correct answer, the other three I was just wrong. The last one #33 was most embarassing - I must have been in a hurry to finish.

33/33 Last time I missed Gettysburg address. We've had a thread on this before- http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/ame...vics-quiz.html
