I think I'll just take the easy way out and proclaim that I am not "smarter than a 5th grader."

Intercollegiate Studies Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Although ISI does not have any official partisan or religious affiliation, the Institute tends towards paleoconservative and traditionalist conservative positions. The influence of several important twentieth-century Roman Catholic thinkers is also apparent at ISI. In fact, the very reason given for the existence of ISI is that education in the modern university is insufficiently liberal (in the traditional sense) to meet the needs of a classical education. Further, the organization fights what it perceives as political correctness and liberal (in the modern sense) bias among campus professors.
In a 1989 speech to the Heritage Foundation, the ISI President, T. Kenneth Cribb Jr., stated:
We must...provide resources and guidance to an elite which can take up anew the task of enculturation. Through its journals, lectures, seminars, books and fellowships, this is what ISI has done successfully for 36 years. The coming of age of such elites has provided the current leadership of the conservative revival. But we should add a major new component to our strategy: the conservative movement is now mature enough to sustain a counteroffensive on that last Leftist redoubt, the college campus...We are now strong enough to establish a contemporary presence for conservatism on campus, and contest the Left on its own turf. We plan to do this by greatly expanding the ISI field effort, its network of campus-based programming.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercollegiate_Studies_Institute#cite_note-1

Ah. so the reason we, as a group, are well above average, and well above those dirty college professors, is because, we, on average, are so ultra right wing... that the questions cater to our bias?

Yeah, my 90% must be due to my ultra-conservative leanings.

Deep down you are a racist and a conservative. That 90% proves as much. Wikipedia has spoken.
