Some questions were stupid;

{

Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government’s centralized planning because:

the price system utilizes more local knowledge of means and ends
markets rely upon coercion, whereas government relies upon voluntary compliance with the law
more tax revenue can be generated from free enterprise
property rights and contracts are best enforced by the market system
government planners are too cautious in spending taxpayers’ money }

No reasonable answer to this; even so -

31 out of 33, for 93.9%. Missed the ones on the Lincoln-Douglas debate, and the Puritans.

As for free markets securing more prosperity, the first answer is clearly correct.

32 out of 33. 96.97%.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Lots of common-sense economic questions. No wonder college educators got half of them wrong.

As I got to the second question I realized I do not need to know this stuff - "what's the name of Roosevelt's deal" - E) Further enslave America. That is precisely what makes me a genius on this board is that I never bothered to learn what they teach on the establishment media schools and history version: most people will vote A-D - the AVAILABLE options.

That test is almost as old now as the time periods which are the subjects of some of its questions.

I have taken it three or four times, the last one a coupla years ago.

I have gotten all 33 correct.

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

I really didn't expect anyone to post their true scores. I scored 100% on that assumption.

 

[Little-Acorn]

First time I've seen it. 31 out of 33 for 93.9%.

To defeat your enemy, you must first know your enemy.

To defeat what you believe is propaganda, you must first know the definition of propaganda.

This is why you will never win.

How like a hysterical Democrat fanatic to assume that anybody who turns out smarter than him, must be lying.

Prolly the first time in your entire life that you've ever been able to say that, too.

Being against the Tea Party and the GOP doesn't make one a Democrat. If there are any logic tests online it might be best for you to skip them.

I missed the last one on the debt, I misread debt as deficit and picked the first answer instead of the right one.

What did you score? honestly?

Figures you would be a hack on this, like you are on any post.

Being ignorant typically does, though.

Awww, are you pouting little one?

Agenda questions at the end.

 

[Pennywise]

There's a lot of subjective stuff on the test. Still I feel pretty comfortable voting with a clear conscience as my score was 81%. I thought the Puritans were pacifists. I also got wrong FDR's scheme for the SCOTUS. The rest were subjective "errors" about economic policy.

You scored 6 out of 33, then?

You must not read my posts.

I posted my real score. And I knew that this thread would suddenly be flooded with geniuses after I linked to that test.
