    Stereotypes become stereotypes because of their root in truth.

    Now go look up the word "probably" and report back. A non-definitive statement of opinion, a la

    Bush is the worst president of all time.

    I have no idea how well those who cling to the notion that Bush is any good would score on that test. I suspect not well. My opinion. Don't like it? Don't care.

    That was an oddly worded question as well.

    very poorly worded....that was the only question that i paused on....still got 19/19 which every american who graduated high school should have got too....

    16/19... Dual citizen (US and Canada)... Haven't taken a US history course since grade 3... Not bad.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
  • 18/19 for me. Just missed the one about the two states that border Canada. Always sucked at geography.

    The rest of the questions were easy for me as I've always been interested in history and current events.

    2006: Camden I & II, DC
    2008: DC, Ed DC II

    18/19.... I missed the one about what inspired the constitution... I put Federalist Papers as opposed to Philadelphia convention.... with such easy questions, why did they need to dumb it down by showing you a picture of the right answer?

    Woo hoo! 19/19

    Then again I am very few years removed from an American Government class.

    Minimum Age to be president: 35

    Who thinks we should put a max age as well?

    but will fully admit, if the test required recall, rather than recognition...as in a fill-in-the-blanks instead of multiple choice....i'd probably fail. :o i just don't remember that much shit. :p and sad to say, the chief justice of the supreme court, a total guess on what he looked like in comparison to the names given. btw - odd that i DID recall what the declaration of independence was based on...but so many others....just recognition. good thing i am already a citizen. ;)
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow
