Re: Interesting US civics test
I'm mid-way through and this question is [censored] with my head.
[ QUOTE ] 27) Which statement is a common argument against the claim that “man cannot know things”? [/ QUOTE ] |

You answered 52 out of 60 correctly — 86.67 % Pretty sure I got all the history/government ones right, but I need to learn more about philosophy and economics I guess. [/ QUOTE ] I started this and was pretty much exactly the opposite. I've never really had interest in history/government until recently. I did skim through the test though, and decided to answer the last 15 or so questions related to the economy, and got all but one of them. I'd probably score < 40% on the historical questions. |

EDIT: 53) National defense is considered a public good because: A. a majority of citizens value it. B. a resident can benefit from it without directly paying for it. C. military contracts increase employment opportunities. D. a majority of citizens support the military during war. E. airport security personnel are members of the Federal civil service. They give B as the correct answer. Should be A, no? |

about 72% for me. I guarantee the average score of a US citzen would be much, much lower. I'm guessing 100 truly random sampled people would bomb this test hard. However, to the type of person a test like this interests ("Hey, a civics test? I'll take 10 minutes and do it.") about a 70-75% score sounds about right. Some of those questions are indeed tough.

I got an 80, and if I weren't currently taking Constitutional Law, I might've missed a few more. Oh well, slightly above average FTW!
