I came across an article which stated that the majority of Americans cannot name one Supreme Court Justice. Okay, now I know that I’m a political junkie, but not being able to name even just one Supreme Court Justice is really alarming to me. It got even worse when I read that 83% of the respondents who took a basic test on the American Revolution failed. So I checked it out and got a 90% on it. Now I know I’m weird and I like history, but I was just curious to see how folks on here would do, so if you have some time, check it out and if you don’t mind, please post your score. I’m curious to see if the numbers are really accurate.

Hmm I got 80%….thought I was better informed then that.
That’s nothing to sneeze at.
Oh for God’s sake! Not even one? Sigh.
You read that correctly. I can name them all, but I’d be hard pressed to name all seven dwarfs.
I got a 73%, so I pass, but just barely. In my defense, I somehow missed the John Jay question. That would have brought me up to 77. If I answered correctly. ; )
Wow! 73% means I just barely passed. I did miss 2 because I second guessed myself, but the rest? I just narrowed it down a little then guessed. This was a tough one, and sometimes I read history books for fun.
Congratulations on that 90%. You rock!
