DukeNukeEm Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It's kind of sad that 60% of people who took this thing think Iran and Israel share a border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The interesting trends in the scores include that males outscored females in every question, except the health care, and that the scores got better generally with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The lack of geography knowledge in the US astounds me. Speaking of which... I just remembered that ChiSox_Sonix and I, I think, had some sort of a challenge a while back on this topic. totally forgot to do that. We should find an online test or something.

lostfan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I got 108 of 195 on that geography quiz. It's harder than it looks. I almost missed some easy ones like Japan (just plain forgot to type it) or Thailand and for a while I couldn't remember what Argentina was called even though I was looking at it and kept thinking "Andres Nocioni" over and over. Apparently there is actually a country called "Dominica" which I didn't know and I got that one only by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still pretty respectable, you probably got all the major important countries in the world like Brazil, Japan, China, Russia, Canada, U.S., Australia, Italy, Indonesia, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 133. Also, there were at least 3 countries I typed it that it didn't recognize for some reason. And, there were another 3-ish I couldn't spell right but knew. And, its not 100% right. There is country Dominica, for example. And it misspells Phillpines. Damn, I need to brush up on my caribbean states, and parts of Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
