I missed 8. I wonder if GWB would answer B or c to #3.

32 out of 33, and I'd quibble about the one I missed. So far skydivers seem to be outscoring the average citizen by a wide margin, although the sample is small and admittedly self-reported. What is really scary is the truly abysmal performance of elected politicians (44% correct, shown in the link with the test).

I got 4 wrong. I missed the Douglas Debate one, the Socrates one and the Puritan one and the Capitalism one.

I missed 6, receiving an 81.82%.

What I noticed was that all my incorrect answers had to do with history. Economics, Gov't function, The Constitution all were my strong areas.

Time to brush up on history.

Same here. 100%. The tricky ones were handled by using test-taking skills to augment admittedly sketchy knowledge of the subject. :P if you read the choices very carefully, you would see that some of them made no sense at all (contradictory, impossible, circular, etc)

though i had to really dredge the depths of my brain to recall the Lincoln-Douglas debates!

I missed 6 for the 81.8%.

Terrifying to think that even the folk setting the test could get 6 of the answers wrong!

An unfair question, in that I don't think they actually offered the correct answer.

Wasn't the debate about whether new states would (or could) be slave-owning or emancipated, and in what proportion?

Yes, you are right. And so is the correct answer.

I'm not an American and I got 30 right. If you scored below hang your head.
I got the 1st amendment wrong. The Gettysburg address, and Roosavelt threatening to appoint more competent judges.

Sorry.. I got 100% on your test...

I went with what I knew they were looking for.. not what reality is...

Its a case of do the test as they say... not what our government really does.
