How ignorant are you?
Ok so I found this article that I will link here. Also along with that is a link to the civic quiz that was mentioned. It saddens me that only 49 percent of the people passed this quiz. So I took the quiz and got 78%, not horrible but I thought I would do much better.
How ignorant are we as an electorate? I would hope that we, as members of the church would take our civic duties much more responsibly. I worry about the kind of people that future generations will vote into office based on this report. Here is the article. Intellectual Conservative Politics and Philosophy Here is the quiz. Civic Literacy Report - Civics Quiz If you aren't ashamed post and tell us how you did.

I only scored 63.64%. I honestly thought I would score higher than that. I was robbed I tell you. . .just kidding. But it does make me realize how much I thought I knew and how much I really know. Thanks for sharing this.

He is my Rock, my Lord, my Savior, the Pilot of my ship and the Captain of my soul. If He were to ask me, "Whom say ye that I am?" I would humbly reply, THOU ART THE CHRIST!

From the test: You answered 26 out of 33 correctly — 78.79 %
It's been a while since my high school civics class so I'm suprised I even did that well. I think a lot of that test was useful knowledge that most citizens should know but some of it just seemed like pointless trivia (like the ones I got wrong  ).

You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %
I should have had 32 out of 33. For question 26 I said Business profit is Cost minus Revenue. That mathematician in me should have realized that it's the other way around. I also missed #31. International economics was never my strong suit.
