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.

Here is the quiz.

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.

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.

I didn't take the quiz. I really don't think i want to see any evidence of how ignorant i am. LOL

But i have to brag about my husband. I showed him the quiz and he took it in the 5 minutes while he was getting ready for work. He got 93.94% and said he probably would have gotten the two he missed if he hadn't been in such a rush. Yes, i married a brilliant man! And he's a good kisser, too!

What does ignorant mean?

I'm not sure, but I totally thought it was spelled "ignernt."

Honestly, I got a much better score than I expected.

My weaknesses focused alot on the economic questions.

BTW. I want to mention the federal reserve is not part of the Government. It is private and was created in 1913.
