9, I don't know the depth of the water in the gulf and I don't know my supreme court justices (but I took it again and got it all right )

[native]

I rarely get 'em all, but got lucky this time because they asked the right questions.

[OSBF]

9, and i feel pretty good about that

Do you happen to know if Congress passed a health care reform bill this year, or not?


Are they asking if one has been passed, of if I know whether or not one has been past?

Yup. I noticed that a lot of the questions started with "Do you happen to know..." What's up with that? Sounds kind of condescending.

[clenz]

I still got 9 out of 11 correct. I'm curious to know if I got that one right and what exactly it was they were asking.


EDIT: upon further review I did get it correct.

I missed #5. I went with 15 instead of 10

I also clicked the wrong one for the gulf spill. I knew the answer, I just picked the wrong one.

And, it's really pathetic that one of the most missed questions was one with only two possible answers...

Was the government bailout of banks and financial institutions, also known as TARP, passed and signed into law under:
Barack Obama
George W. Bush


38% got it right.

If you can find the right plce to click, they break down your response to every question. After completing the quiz, click on "How you did, question by question" in blue in the middle of the left side of the page.

These go to 11.

[Mountaineer]

13% have only gotten 4 correct. Seesh.

Fuckin' A Hen!!

Found that. I just took the "How Millenial are you quiz", I don't belong in my generation, which is something I knew before I took the quiz.

These go to 11.

I am surprised that the mode was only 4 and that the average and median were somewhere between 5 and 6. This kind of simple quiz should not result in a bell curve distribution.

It's ok. Your wife is smokin'... so at least you have that going for you.

[Col Hogan]

I got 11...that was pretty easy...

[Baldy]

I'd be willing to bet that the 13% are mostly Democrats.

[ATrain]

11/11, and I didn't even need to use Google.

11/11, and I didn't even need to use Google.

Yup. This is one of the easiest quizes I have come across recently.

[polsongrizz]

Not a single question on there anyone should miss, although I did have a problem with the last three personnel ones...
The sad thing about this quiz is the age group between 18-29 had the lowest correct responses by far, answering only 5.0 out of 11 right...

... I just took the "How Millenial are you quiz", I don't belong in my generation, which is something I knew before I took the quiz. ...

I took your Millennial Quiz, Clenz, and scored a 36, which makes me a "Gen Xer," even though I am a boomer.

It's the main reason I voted 3rd party............

Oh, and 11 out of 11

[death dealer]

Goddamn! Only 5% of the country got all 11 correct? This country is populated by a bunch of morons!! Who the hell didn't know all these answers?
