Can You Beat a College Professor--A Test

[Mickey D]

I got Like 60

 

[armadillo]

I got all 33. Guess it is because I quit reading the newspaper years ago and spend quality time on the S&W forum.

 

[pilgrim6a]

27 out of 33.
If I was any good at economics I could have bought the Nic. Model 10-5 for $250 today.
If I took the test again, right now, I'd still get 27 of 33.

Don't it feel good to give! How did you like that definition of "public good" - benefiting from something you didn't pay for?

27 out of 33 - I'm good with that. Learned a bit, too.

 

[CW Spook]

32 out of 33, and the only one I missed was the only one where I didn't go with my initial reaction and debated the choice.

 

[sheepdawg]

30 out of 33. I'm used to taking tests with the answers written real small on a piece of paper hidden in my shirt pocket.

Well, my Business Communications professor used "irregardless" in one of our project assignments, so I would have to say. "yeah"..

 

[2fingers]

26 out of 33, Surprised myself.

 

[Bat Guano]

93.94. After I encountered my first sociology professor I knew I had the upper hand.

Fortunately the test had NO math questions or it would have been a whole different deal...

 

[Class III]

32 out of 33. I missed the Socrates question.

Same here.

I got 29 out of 33 questions not too bad for my 6th grade education.

You answered 29 out of 33 correctly — 87.88 %

This from Europe. There is still room to educate myself some more.

I missed the one about Electoral College (my bad), about the source of the phrase: "Government of the people, by the people, for the people"?, about Socrates and Plato (the mention of PERMANENT moral and political truths sounded phishy, but that was a long time ago so they got that bit wrong), about debates between Lincoln and Douglas.

 

[EdwardM]

I got 31 of the 33 but in interest of "full disclosure" some involved a little guessing.

32 for 33, blew the last one since a balance of taxes & outgo DOES NOT mean you received benefits equal to your taxes.

That current college profs got 55% doesn't surprise me, would kinda like to know the most frequently missed questions by them. Ya know, when I went to college there were an impressive number of profs who were vets. Even the religion/philosophy profs had been chaplins-some in really interesting assignments. I kinda wonder what the percentage of factulty vets is now? Would bet in single digits.

Having had to explain our government system to our honor student daughter some years back, I really have to wonder how the current generation fairs on the test.

I misinterpreted the thread title. I currently work at a university and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a professor. So my answer was yes. Do I win?
