(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

What's Your Score?

Here is a link to the coming October, 2008 version of the American Citizenship test, hosted at MSNBC.

Take the test and see how you do.

I made a 95% -- missed question #2.

How did you do? Did you pass? Are you an American citizen?

P.S.

Did you pick up on my clue?

Mark said...: the sad thing is I know a lot of Americans would flunk this quiz. and what's more, they wouldn't care either.; Sun Jul 06, 03:55:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: VW: yeah, I screwed the pooch on number two, darn it!

Mark: hate to say it, you're quite correct, the bulk of Americans are ignorant and couldn't care less.

Anonymous said...: Hi Bloviating Zeppelin. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment, which I appreciate.

I received the clue well - immigration.

I studied Constitutional Law so I scored a 100%. I believe INS should hire me so I could make that test harder. Of course I am sure that was a sampling, but I say still too easy.

Great find and thanks for this most interesting little test for your readers. We must keep up with our civic knowledge you know! :); Sun Jul 06, 05:25:00 PM PDT
Anonymous said...: BTW, sorry I forgot to let you know I added you to my list of links on my blog. You have a very interesting blog here indeed and I have enjoyed reading some of your other posts aside from this top one.; Sun Jul 06, 05:29:00 PM PDT
Z said...: I did WAAY better than I thought I'd do..90%. WHO KNEW?

QUESTION: How could Delaware have been one of the original States if it's not a State now? I thought it was a 'District'??; Sun Jul 06, 07:05:00 PM PDT

Bushwack said...: I missed the one:
"who was pres in WW1" I wasn't freakin here how the hell would I know and the school I went to had no books and oh I had to walk to far to school oh and ummm... LOL

Yeah I missed 2 actually, #2 and the ww1 question.; Sun Jul 06, 09:26:00 PM PDT
shoprat said...: I got 100% but I wonder what the Obama would get. He seems to have his own secret constitution.; Mon Jul 07, 04:08:00 AM PDT
Gayle said...: Shoprat's a genius! I would love to see the results of Obama taking this test!

I missed two, BZ. #2 and 19, but shouldn't have missed 19, because I knew the right answer.

I'm positive that most Americans would fail this test miserably.; Mon Jul 07, 06:06:00 AM PDT
Isaac said...: Darn, I got 64%. I need to brush up on US history, then again, I may know more than a lot of Americans (I am from Singapore).

BTW, hello BZ. I found your blog through American and Proud. I'll add you to my blog roll.; Mon Jul 07, 06:24:00 AM PDT
Anonymous said...: 100%
I did have to read a couple of the questions a second times.; Mon Jul 07, 06:36:00 AM PDT
cary said...: You answered 100% of questions correctly.

Just lucky, I guess.

Hey, "z" - Delaware is a state, you must be thinking of the District of Columbia!; Mon Jul 07, 08:48:00 AM PDT
Gary said...: It must be early and my glasses are dirty...

I got 100%... the third time :(; Mon Jul 07, 10:08:00 AM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Isaac Lu: hey, thanks for taking the test and welcome aboard; comment and visit frequently! And yes, I'm certain most Americans, particularly the younger generations, wouldn't do half as well as you did.
