How much do you know about stuff?

Try this exam. It's only 33 questions. Took me about 5 minutes.

Hat tip to Sean Linnane.

PS - I got 30 out of 33. There were two questions that I had no idea about, but I screwed up on my third wrong answer.

The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%.

66.67%

I'm not familiar with a lot of American history and I'm not familiar with economics.

At 81%, I'm off for a plum job in an American University. However, I'm a bit sketchy on the diversity guff; which I believe, must make up more than 81% of one's cv. Am prepared to brush up; but as most of its is written in post-modernist gibberish, I will need some help.

30/33.

As a UK person who has never studied the US constitution or US history I'm quite pleased with myself, though most of the answers were easy and a process of elimination made some obviously wrong answers easy to discard.

55% for college teachers is shocking.

High school graduate of government schools - in 1973 - I got 25 out of 33 for a 75.76%. THREE of the ones I got wrong were mistakenly marked, but what the hell. Considering how many concussions I've had, and how much other damage I've done to my poor ol brain, I'm pretty satisfied.

I got 64% and I left school at 16. In the UK, but that was a ong time ago, and things are different now.
