Social Studies Test

I'd say this one is not terribly biased, maybe because I only missed four and got an 87.

A social skills test would be more useful in here than a social studies test !!!

I was a political science major in college and I still missed 4.

My political theory (socrates, etc) has always been weak.

Sputnik was a stupid mistake. I didn't think because I was in a hurry.

I had no idea "by the people, for the people" was in the gettysburg address. Just plain forgot.

The Public Goods question confused me. It seemed there was more than one right answer.

33/33 Being a history buff helps, as did that semester of constitutional law I took as an elective in college.

90.1%! Didn't recall how FDR tried to get around the Supreme Court, where separation of Church and State comes from, and the Gettysburg Address.

I missed those plus one about free market vs a government planned system. I would have missed the gettysburg address one if not for reading Tylers post first.

missed four but would have been five.

I only got that one because I'm reading Aristotle (or trying to) right now. The guy takes like twenty pages to say about about a paragraph's worth of stuff.
