Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Very Interesting! Take this test when you have some time to think. It'll do you some good! You don't have to share your test results. It's for your benefit only! Break out your "Thinking Cap"! I got an 84.85 % without trying to look anything up. test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I missed the Lincoln-Douglas debates. That's it. I don't understand how anyone could score lower than 80% on that. Even elliot should manage at least that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I took this a few weeks ago when this story first broke...88% IIRC. But I was confused when 'healthcare' was not listed in the first question as an inalienable right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
