This is my whole problem with this thing, people equate the score on this test with being either smart or being a "dumb ass" as you put it.

The average score for Harvard students is 69. Are you going to tell them they're dumb asses? I'd be willing to bet their IQ scores rank damn high, which is a much better indicator of intelligence.

My whole point is ANY DIPSHIT can memorize facts. You can read a history textbook for three days and get a 90 on this test, and all you'd need to know is how to read. This test tells you nothing.

In the words of Bill Parcells, let's flip this pancake over. Let's see who comes out on top, you or the Harvard kids, on the SATs, IQ tests, or math exams. I think we'd quickly find out who the "dumbass" really is.

Re: Civics Test the College Kids all Failed

you know what? most likely they didnt give a damn what they got because they dont have to pass this test.

ill remember every test that my teachers used to give me and said " this is just a test to see how much you know and how to teach you" i would fill in all C down the whole thing.

Oh good lord! It a nice test to take to gauge yourself about what you know about our government's beginnings. If you didn't do well and are dissappointed by that fact then grab a 12th grade US History book. Spend 3 days re-reading what you've already supposedly learned and had gotten a high grade on in the first place which you must have needed in order to go to a "good school".

Just learn something about anything,folks. It doesn't really matter how, where, why or when.

Re: Civics Test the College Kids all Failed

Well, I got a 90 and I'm an idiot.

Seriously. I accidentally had sex with an ottoman in 1988.

No, I'm stupid. Someone wrote "L" and"R" on all my shoes... and I don't know why!

I'm a dolt. My wife asked me to get a chocolate stain out of my son's shirt. I used scissors.

What do you mean "accidentally"?

1988 was a seminal year for me. And, as it turns out, the ottoman as well.

Re: Civics Test the College Kids all Failed

Most of those questions are easy but there are few tough ones in there. I would expect most college kids to get at least 40 of those questions right, more than that is just a bonus.

It's definitely not a fluff test and covers wide range of topics (philosophy, economics, religion, and history). I don't think this test can be used to get an accurate reading of someone's intelligence. It's basically a memory test with a few questions you can reason your way out of.

p.s. I scored 48/60 (80%). Damn you Alexis de Tocqueville and Radical Republicans!

152, but that doesn't really test how smart you are either, since you can learn those things pretty easily too... most use a similar format.
