30/33 I would argue with the 55% professor score, but then realized research professors are probably the ones bringing down the average.

30/33. Two of the misses I seriously debated between the right and wrong answer. One of those I knew - just talked myself out of it. One I didn't know at all.

30/33

I was about to say "Google is a fine tool when doing online quizzes" when you said the professors score 55% on average stat, but we must have some dumb people in this country if VN is 3/3 doubling up the national average score.

Also, it says "college educator," not professor. So I don't know about you guys, but by the time I was a senior, less than half of my classes were being taught by tenured professors. I presume due to budget constraints during the recession.

It's not budget - it's standard operating procedure at schools or within programs that have PhD programs. :hi:

I'll be the first to say it....if the average American got 49% and the average VN poster is scoring 94% does this mean we are the smartest fan base alive or does it mean that this message board is full of liars?

Option 3: The "exam" is a push poll.

The politics forum tends to be a bit more informed than the rest of the board.

30 of 33

this is one of those that I missed:

If taxes equal government spending, then:
Your Answer: government debt is zero
Correct Answer: tax per person equals government spending per person on average

huh? with nearly 50% of all Americans having no federal income tax liability, there's no way "on average" government spending per person is equal to their tax liability.
