Pretty cool test...I got 26/33 (78.79%)

The average American (allegedly) gets a 49% and the average American college professor gets a 55%.

25. Don't do that to me again. My head hurts.

30 of 33 - i misread two of them - and I misidentified the writer of the "wall of separation"

[JohnStOnge]

I got 32 of 33 (96.97 %). The one I missed was what the issue was in the Lincoln/Douglas debates and I must admit I had no clue.

The fact that the average for American college professors is 55% doesn't surprise me. University Academia, I think, is perhaps the most overrated group in the United States. If you've ever had to deal with them in the real world and see how little they typically actually understand about reality you know what I'm talking about.

55%? not surprising - I don't expect physics professors or psych professors to know this stuff

Well, just remember that 55% number the next time you see exit poll results showing that percent voting against the Democratic candidate increases with educational attainment level until we reach "post grad;" at which point the majority shifts back to the Democrat.

I doubt if physics professors have a lot to do with that. But I wouldn't be surprised if psych professors do as that field is absolutely riddled with nonsense.

Yep. misread a few, but there were a few that I flat out didn't know.

Those damn Greeks always confuse me.

You answered 28 out of 33 correctly — 84.85 %

Don't know much about economics so some of them got me.

[CitadelGrad]

31/33, but I disagree with the "correct" answer for one of the questions I got wrong.

[JoltinJoe]

75.76%

Misread a few.

After all our debates over the years, you must have gotten that question about Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas correct.

For the record (actually, just to piss you off), I'd note that I got 33 of 33.

I would expect you to score high on that one. However, let's talk after the Ethics Knowledge quiz.
