[quote:Epic Beard Guy:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzY1MzIwX0FDMTQ3QTA5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1047074] Mine: You answered 27 out of 33 correctly — 81.82 % Average score for this quiz during January: 74.9% From the article: "Overall, 74 percent of officeholders failed the exam, compared to 71 percent of those who had not held office." My Gosh... FAILED? Like less than 60% score? 3/4 of them failed? MY GOD, no wonder we have unconstitution CRAP going on called 'law'... They should be removed from office if they cannot pass a civics examination. I have to take a big-ass test to have my State professional license and if I fail, no license. And I have decision to spend maybe $250k a year. They have decision to spend $4 TRILLION a year. WTF? [/quote] One of those stupid fucks said a few months ago, "most of what we do in unconstitutional". And for that we pay that worthless piece of shit $178,000 a year.

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.
