12/12 I'm a retired engineer and (as others have said) this wasn't much of a quiz!

I must have something wrong with my browser. I didn't get an option of "post-graduate" in the education question, and I have no idea where the additional 13 questions are, as I didn't get an option to answer more.

*Update*
12/12, 13/13.
Mine was a public education in essentially rural Idaho, and that didn't seem like that hard of a test.
Always comforting to ace a test though. Big Grin

*No idea what school is like there now, but back then I was pretty lucky to have the excellent teachers that were somehow willing to put up with our crap.

11/12 and 13/13. Missed the magnifying glass one, was between the right answer and the one I picked. I agree the 2 tests aren't hard, and I breezed through second one real quick.

Out of morbid curiosity, I took the survey on climate change.

Looking at the regional results, there are even more morons in the world than I thought.

BTW, I'm a "3 on a scale of 12" only because 3 is the lowest possible score...




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

12/12 also. That was not a difficult test. I wonder what the average score is for America if only 6% are getting all of the questions right.
