Are you a smart or stupid American? | Comments

Got a 93%. Went back and re-did the test and changed an answer that I thought was a trick question and ended up with a 100%. I hate to tell you but YOU have the wrong answer for question 15!!! What state is the White House in? The WH isn't IN any state - its in the District of Columbia which is a separate entity from any state. It was set up that way originally so that no state could claim superiority over the others because it had the nation's Capitol in it. And by the way "North Virginia" ISN'T state you moron!

61% and Canadian

I got a 34%. It doesn't matter, I don't givea damn about a country filled with hypocrates.

hey just for the record i dont even live in the usa

I scored 72%

Correction Washinton on the Brazos was the name.

Texas should succeed the Union once and for all. And lets see how the rest of the States do with out our Texan Tax Dollars..lololololo l

Houston or Galveston were never capitals of texas. Washington the Brazos was one. The original name of Austin was Waterloo. But it was changed to Austin when it became the Capital.

67% -You know that grade don't you?

WHAT????? I know that grade?? I know my American history, these question were sooo vague, especially the Civil War question. I would like to know which questions I got wrong, because I aced American History!!

100%!! Woo hoo!! (I'm Texan, so dont you go beepin' about my home state. all yall crazy city people dont know NOTHIN about Texas. no offence to most of you people, but- COM ON!!)

i'm amarican born chinese so i didn't do too bad. 22% gotta pay more attention to social studies in 5th grade

12% and I just went through guessing random answers lol! im not even american double lol!!

i didn't even get half the questions this is like a collage test for a kindergardener

many questions were unclear; for example one asked about a civil war without specifying which civil war. i'm quite certain that all mentioned countries have had some civil war or another.

27%

I don't know s--- about America and I live here :(

There is a Kennedy brother named Joseph and you need to correct you grammer and sppelling

And by the way, the White House is in the District of Columbia, which isn't technically part of the state of Virginia. It even has three separate votes--completely apart from Virginia--in the Electoral College.

I think the author isn't the smartest American herself. She mispelled "Philadelphia" in the quiz, and on the results page, it should say "You're smarter than...", not "Your".

53% and a EU citizen

Actually I do believe that the US capitol isn't in a state at all it's in a district. D.C. stands for District of Columbia. As for some of the other questions like how many moons are in our orbit, the answer is none we have a moon that orbits us, but we orbit the sun. I'll give you that Geography isn't my strong point, so state capitols I'm weak on. Sorry Texas. Still any idiot can go look them up, and sometimes it's not knowing the answer but knowing where to find it that counts. Over all it reads like the quiz maker needs to look in the mirror if he's really looking for what gives our nation a bad reputation it's not that we're stupid, it's that some of us think we're smarter then we are.

fredbarnes, i love you! so true, and did you notice he asked how old a MAN had to be to be president.....Clint on almost got herself there..almost, I think she is a woman.

Frankly, the fact that the author of this quiz decided to mess around shouldn't be rewarded. When people read "How many moons are in our orbit?" they will think of Earth, not of the United States. Likewise, when the author asks what "State" the White House is in, s/he's being too cute by half by including the actual location of the White House. Apparently we are supposed to assume the infallibility of the author and recognize that we are not supposed to pick any of the answers. This is one of the dumbest quizzes possible.

I got a 76 and played around with it.... I believe the answers seem... weighted...

phdbd- who gives a damn about you?

texas is part of the US so i suggest you stfu.

the capital is very important. and its like the easiest question on there. dumbass.

and yes i'm a PROUD texan.

and zangar. i agree with you. "What STATE is the US capital in?"

none of the answers listed were even states!

this quiz sucks. and i'll bet you didn't even get the capital of texas right.

you probably said houston or galveston.
uh yeah, A LONG TIME AGO.

Who(other than texans) gives a damn where things are in Texas? That JFK was assasinated there speaks volumes. Where the capitol is matters nowt.

I'm 10 and I'm 0% smarter then Jerry Springer Guests, lol! That's pretty good, right?;-)
