11/11 here.
I got 9 correct, I did better than I thought.
I got 8 out of 11. Time to brush up…
Ran the table: 11 out of 11.
As a proud FOTM reader I am happy to say I got 11/11, too!
I expect most readers here will…what is really sad is that only 13% of those taking the quiz do…..wow!
I scored 11 /11 too.
Got 10/11… not bad for someone who is neither American nor lives/have lived in the US!!!
11/11 in 58 seconds,no Google.87% of voters need to schedule emergency head-extraction surgery with the nearest proctologist before the election.God help us all, Amen.
Boy I’m dumb. Only got 9. Thought some were trick questions. Live and learn.:)
sparrow,
You scored better than the average male, female, and college graduate!
I got 9 right too, and your not dumb Sparrow, I thought we did pretty good.
11 as well.
Man, can’t believe some of these stats…
11. Female. Highschool only. Age 65.
11/11 here
11/11; female.Some college.Age 54
I’m ashamed to admit I missed one I should’ve known. Male, 47, college grad. 10/11. I’m gonna go sit in the corner for an hour and say “stupid, stupid, stupid!” and then go to bed without my dinner.
Aww, such a perfectionist. You’re being too hard on yourself. LOL
9 out of 11 didn’t say which ones i got wrong
all 11, It is really hard to believe that only 13% of the respondents got all 11 correct. It was not a hard test, FOTM readers shouldn’t have even broke a sweat…
11/11 for me! (:
11 out of 11 here…
Only 9/11. I thought some were trick questions, too. For instance, Didn’t Romney approve of gay marriage in his state AFTER voters voted against it?
I got 11 questions correct.
I only got 9, but I think the gay marriage question is a trick since I think Romney has changed his stance on this before.
11 right. Do I geet to vote now?
11/11 high school,74 f
