[quote:pana 1158767:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzYwNTAwX0FENzE5NDBC] 84.5% which is disappointing but all but one i got wrong were history questions which have very little bearing on the understanding of our system of politics. Also i didnt read through the thread yet but am I the only on to notice a pretty considerable conservative/libertarian bent on the wording of the questions, most notably towards the end?(i answered how I knew they wanted the questions answered even when I disagreed) [/quote]

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute polled 2500 people including 164 elected officials. 74% of Elected officials, and 71% of the general population failed the test. You can read the story here. [

I am embarrassed to say I only got 88%. Please take the test and post your scores to see how much smarter GLPers are than the Elected officials that are supposed to support the document they know so little about. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, but please post your first score hear.
To simplify the posting here is a poll.
