Try this test below and see if you are in the 7% that get them all right - there are no trick questions by the way.

I scored 3 out of 3 for the demographic questions.

As for the others, I got 6 out of 13 simply by picking answers at random. That scores better than 23% of Americans.

Well I only missed 1 and as I went through I were thinking it was wrong any way.
Troopy I hear
Ask an American to name all their states and most would struggle to name 30% of them my daughter did 12 months student exchange over there and did better than 1/2 her class
Yes they were somewhat simple questions really
Dorian has a point though as most were a 50/50 chance of getting it right

100% for me, with only high school 'schooling', mind you I am always learning new things :)  I reckon they were very basic questions.
