Cool link, thanks for posting this! (31 of 33)
I'd love to give this test to all the network-news pundits who daily tell all us "dumbies" how things are and how they should be and who's bad and who's good. I bet a majority of them would fail this test, just like the original sample.

33 right.
I could quibble with the available choices for a couple of the later questions, but it was clear enough which was the best of what was offered.

You answered 33 out of 33 correctly — 100.00 %
Average score for this quiz during November: 77.8%
Average score: 77.8%
I hadn’t actually heard of Adam Smith, needed to correctly answer a question numbered in the low 30s, until I took a macroeconomic class as an elective at UT.
So college is a good thing. But, Catholic school helped, a lot.

These are some impressive scores! Good job everybody.
But then with over 60 views and only 7 responses, maybe some people aren't posting their scores.
Time to come clean, people

I am not even going to attempt to take it.
I suck at History and Civics.
