It’s partisan as hell, yet you scored 87%?

One of these things is not like the other…

I gave the answers I thought they would consider correct on the partisan questions.

Not that hard really.

Excuse me, you were saying?

100%!

[W]hat you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

And as I said before, you’re full of it.

Such partisan questions as “What are our three branches of government?”

The only way that I’ll let you get by saying the test is partisan is if you’re telling me that liberals are stupid by nature, and therefore asking you for facts is partisan.

For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my country.

Kenny, you are on spot.  No way this is a partisan test.  This is just the excuse they have for not doing well.  My score wasn’t great but not bad compared to the average public or our leaders in congress.  72% for a guy some have called an idiot.

a guy some have called an idiot.

You can get in the club then.

That test was abysmally easy.  I would like to know what positions they were elected to.

I got a 90%.

Got a 90.  Forrest McDonald, my favorite professor from the U of Alabama would be proud.  I thought that a Harvard Education was supposed to be better than my state school.  Who knew?

Thanks Whistler, you always make everyone feel so much better.

98.6 here. I forgot to check which question I missed, so now I’ll never know it, I guess. The chart was interesting. Did anyone else check to see how they did vs. others in their age group? I was shocked to see how poorly people performed on this test. It is a shame that people knew so little. My 20 y o daughter got them all right, she has an i.q. that’s 167, so no real surprise. My son did pretty well, considering he is 18 and is an average student. He pulled off a 70 something. This is the kind of test that would be great for a prerequisite to voting.

Well when one says that the SAT is culturally biased, they’re just saying black people are too stupid to do math or speak properly. It’s a pretty damned racist argument.

So Bob is just admitting that liberals are stupid, and that expecting them to know facts is “biased”.

What I don’t get is the idea that this is a partisan test.  HOW!

These are textbook economic and civics questions.

I don’t understand how anyone could see them as partisan unless they were educated in public schools by liberal teachers who taught that the pilgrims were giving thanks to the Indians for saving them.

It has always been a frustration of mine that people, particularly liberals, are so bad at basic economics and history.

BUT, my friend Bob did pretty well.  I have always understood that he is smarter than most liberals.

On the other hand it must be an undiagnosed disorder that keeps him a liberal. That’s the only explanation for it. ;>)

Faint praise, that.

Excuse me, you were saying?

Gene,

You’re “friend” is of the obdurate variety as well.

Wow, Bob, how pretentious of you!!!  Nothing quite like a jackass on the internet establishing their genius bonafides by pointing out other peoples spelling and grammatical errors. 

Please do tell us what questions were biased, and what factual basis you would use to answer a question differently than this quiz indicates is the correct answer.  I mean, sure, since capitalism is evil, the questions about why markets work well should have another answer, e) markets don’t work, capitalism is evil.  But since there isn’t another choice, there must be another explanation....

The spelling errors are the icing.

I look forward to your admonishment of the Spelling Bea.
