96% (but I guessed on 2 questions) so more like 90/91.
Not bad for a non US citizen =P
Speaking of which, many Americans score poorly on the citizenship test.
and then one wonders why the election coverage was about 'terrorist fist jabs' and not wearing flagpins and Obama's bowling score.

I don't like this question;

29) A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because:
A. citizens value it as much as bread and medicine
B. a resident can benefit from it without directly paying for it
C. government construction contracts increase employment
D. insurance companies cannot afford to replace all houses after a flood
E. government pays for its construction, not citizens

I'm putting B?, but both B and E are simplistic to the point of being confusing.



Okay, now this one,

31) International trade and specialization most often lead to which of the following?
A. an increase in a nation’s productivity
B. a decrease in a nation’s economic growth in the long term
C. an increase in a nation’s import tariffs
D. a decrease in a nation’s standard of living

Now I want to put A, but B could be the answer if you're talking to a jerk... this is kind of a bogus question.

blarg I got an 87.9. damn you multiple choice!

30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 %

Those damn puritans are the source of so many problems!

And yeah, some of those questions were phrased strangely. But that's the way it goes on multiple choice tests.

32 out of 33 - 96.97%

Missed the last one, grrr...

I can't believe only 56 percent of elected officials knew the reason for US/Soviet tension in 1962. Ridiculous.

I had 81 percent, but only because I don't do well with economic questions. All of the others were quite easy.

Average score for this quiz during for all visitors to the site in November: 77.9%

i got a 66... and I was honest.

Guess I'm not as educated as I thought. Should have asked me more about the constitution I would have excelled at that.

I spent a lot more time in school dealing with wars, and not policy.

I forgot the Gettysburg Address. Dur. Only one I got wrong, at least. I also took issue at the wording of the ones that bamdrew pointed out, though.

I got 100%, but the quiz is somewhat obviously written by someone with a conservative axe to grind. That's not surprising, since ISI is an offshoot of the Heritage Foundation.

For example, look at the "wrong" answers to this one:

6) The Bill of Rights explicitly prohibits:
A. prayer in public school
B. discrimination based on race, sex, or religion
C. the ownership of guns by private individuals
D. establishing an official religion for the United States
E. the president from vetoing a line item in a spending bill

Particularly, compare the correct answer, D, to A. It's trying to leave the inference that D does not also mean A, because it wasn't what was explicitly prohibited.

It also brings up gun rights in the explicit context of private individuals, when the wording in the Bill of Rights is unclear. To say it explicitly prohibits private ownership is clearly false -- but saying it explicitly guarantees private ownership would also be false. We have a Supreme Court ruling that clarifies that, but that's very recent, and not part of the Bill of Rights itself.

It also implies that prohibiting B is somehow unconstitutional.

I'm frankly lost as to the point with E, though I vaguely recall a kerfuffle about Clinton trying to get a line-item veto. I suppose this is supposed to be a "fair and balanced" wrong answer, saying "see liberals, we were lying when we said that was unconstitutional!"
