Now, I am no genius, but according to this chart, I’m not a complete imbecile, either. For the record, the tax/economics questions killed me, but I aced history (of course).
It’s a 60-question, multiple choice test. Takes a while, but it’s pretty interesting if you want to go for it. You can take the quiz HERE.

I wish I knew the economic stuff a little better, too. It is interesting, though.
It is a case for being well-read and self-educated, though. Most colleges have you in a box from the time you enter and you can’t really take any courses outside of that box. Education isn’t what it used to be.
Most of what I remembered was from high school or from looking up things I didn’t understand when I saw them on the news. Some of the historical questions I was able to answer because of research I did to teach my classes. I go into a lot of historical background when I teach.
That all said, I still only scored a 65 percent. While I could use the excuse that I was falling asleep while I was taking it and couldn’t concentrate very well, I won’t. I probably would have only gotten a few more correct.

Let’s just say I did lousy. Some of the stuff I never heard of. It has been a loooong time since I have been in school.
I’m going to have to relearn as I teach my children. That’s for sure.

I scored 75% also. Some of the economic stuff killed me also.

Took this test a few months ago and got a 93%. Few of the other morons scored 95%.

GOPAC – Lousy engineering grads!
RT – I took mine while holding Kevin. Does that count for any bonus points?
Kim – Give them the test, then!
Rick – I was never a big fan of economics.
DPU – Great, so I am the biggest moron in the Moronosphere.

Thanks for making me feel like I am smart – although the six questions I missed I wonder why I didn’t know three of them. Must have been my speed reading. Can I be a Presidential Candidate now?
