I'd give you one if I had the power to do so. It's good to see so many well-informed people.

97% and Canadian...wow I'm just going to forward people off to this test next time someone wants to say I don't know details about certain subjects and they do!

I got a 76. I thought chavez was Cuba,lol

I missed the chairman of fed reserve board, and the majority of the us snate. I was thinking congress.

I Scored a 91, I missed only one question. The one about the Dow. I thought I would have missed more. At least I know that while i'm reading or listening to the news some of it sinks in.

uhhh i was probably really bad. i stopped it because i feared my result
i know much more about the politics in europe and of course in my country.
but know i know i have to learn much more about the U.S.

Well I got a 69%. Not so bad.

Don't give up Allyna! Take it anyway, you may surprise yourself. Even if you don't do well, the answers are given at the end of the quiz, and then you will know them.

I got a 48%...and I still don't like politics! This figure really doesn't surprise me though. I don't really keep up with the federal reserve chairman, or the who all is the house majority holder, etc. I'm sure I got the sec. of Defense right. Oh well...I still don't care

So be it...

11/12 questions. 91%. I'm French but I'm live in America.

i scored 91, im a small bit suprised the average is so low, I am not from usa.

I think a person's education level or place of birth are not so much a factor in the quiz as is their desire to know more about the World around them. Everyone's scores so far seem to speak to that fact. I've known many people with less than a diploma who knew much more than I did about politics and current events.

ATS members are not you're average person. They are curious, intelligent, and don't take most things at face value alone. They want to know the who, the where, and the why as well. Great job guys!

12/12 - 97%

Uhm...Yay? Now, I ask myself...did I really want this confirmed? :/

Anyway...great post...quite popular.

I had one wrong and received a 91% with one wrong. I guess you didn't take the test at all if you got a 97%.

Well, I missed the DOW Jones question only. 91%, dang and I own shares in 38 different stocks. Still way above the average US sheople...

Flagged and Starred from me

muahaha scored 9/12 & i'm from singapore

83 here. missed 2, one of which I shouldn't of. oh well.

you know, it reminds me of those questions-on-the-street things that are occasionally on TV.

"So, where are Pakistani's from?" "uhhh... Saudi Arabia!?"...

I've always liked to think they are fake but... sadly a simple questionnaire of current events says they are not fake at all.
