<p>Got 1 wrong (didnt read the last one lol). I doubt that study is very accurate.</p>

<p>“You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %.”</p>
<p>Huh. Looks like that Berkeley political science degree was worth something.</p>
<p>Only question I got wrong was the one on the Puritans.</p>
<p>How can college educators score a mere 55% on this crap.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pfft, it was only 33 :P. I got 29 of 33; not too shabby for an engineer whose last experience with either political science or history was barely passing the AP exam back in '03.</p>
<p>I’ve seen ISI distribute these tests on campus. The methodology is truly awful. One example: I actually told a guy giving away tests at the dining hall that I wasn’t interested, and he tells me “Oh, it’s alright. We just want to give these away. You don’t really have to do it.”</p>
<p>I got a 91%. I don’t see how you could get below a 70% on that test.</p>
<p>I got 94%. Haven’t taken an AP History class in my life.</p>
<p>I got sick of it the before I even finished reading all the choices for the first question. Well, a guess that’s what happens when you major in EECS.</p>
<p>I got two wrong; the Puritan question and the last one, which I didn’t read at all.</p>
<p>I’m international, never lived in America, and never taken American History class of any sort, and got 27/33. I highly doubt any Harvard graduate could score less than 70%…</p>
<p>I love how people like to brag about how high they scored on a mulitple choice test on an anonymous forum, when they find out that college educators scored 55%.</p>
<p>Haha, I’m pretty sure this list is biased against any school that has a large engineering/science focus or is very international. Cute nonetheless.</p>
<p>I seriously doubt the credibility of this supposed study. I doubt any such test was ever administered, or their analysis is highly suspect.</p>
<p>Just look at the scores which people here have gotten. I highly doubt CC is <em>that</em> much more literate than Harvard.</p>
<p>Plus, the people making it are clearly a highly biased organization just trying to push an agenda. Even in the wording of some questions, this bias could be clearly detected (especially econ ones).</p>
<p>I mean, just look at their site: [Join</a> the Battle of Ideas](<a href=“http://www.isi.org/]Join”>http://www.isi.org/). I mean, come on. Apparently we’re on a slippery slope to socialism driven by a grand conspiracy among liberal professors.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, I mean you could infer their political slant from their questions about the economy for sure, like you said :P. It’s just a silly quiz like anything else you’ll ever take online.</p>
<p>I’m sure it determines how “patriotic” you are. Not sure what is says about me who did not have the attention span to complete the survey.</p>
<p>Well, actually, Grove City College does have a large engineering/science proportion on campus, almost certainly higher than Harvard’s.</p>
<p>“You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %.”</p>
<p>Hey, they really do teach you something in law school.</p>
