Note that the average score was 49%, college profs averaged 55%, and elected officials, surprising no one, bring up the rear with 44%.
I'll post my score if you post yours.

I wavered and guessed wrong on the Lincoln-Douglas one. Very impressive. I got that one right about Lincoln-Douglass. This one stumped me though, "A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because:"
( I dont recall ever hearing this phrase before.) 😳

Joined 14 Dec '07 Moves 3763 28 out of 33. I second guessed myself on the wall of separation question. I also thought some of the questions were a little confusing in the wording.

Joined 03 Feb '07 Moves 193940 I got 87.88 percent. I missed four. Two of them I gave stupid answers. One I didn't know. And one I disagree with. But I don't have time right now.
I got the capitalism one right, but that's because I recognized early that this test is ideologically loaded. I don't think individuals make many decision about capitalism anymore, unless you take Citizens United very literally.
