The LA Times did a story on it here.
I got 11/12 because I clicked “next” without making sure that my answer was highlighted, so watch out for that.
Seriously, who makes an online multiple-choice test that lets you skip a question without asking if you meant to? How frustrating.

I got are you male or female wrong, damn trick questions. Actually, I got the magnifying glass one wrong but….by that picture, it implies what you’re looking at ends up upside down, which it doesn’t so I don’t see how that’s right. Camera lenses flip things so that picture would be right. Therefore, I declare that I am right and the test is wrong.
Not to be sexist…ok fine, to be sexist, males scored higher then females on EVERY question…and the last column…wow. But I don’t remember it asking my race, did it just assume I’m white because I got 11 right?

13/13 yesssss
12/12 for me, but I took too long for such an easy quiz. I was “nuking it” for a while, attempting to convince myself that the obvious right answer was wrong.
I mean, Einstein could have found the vaccine for polio if he wanted to, right?

Ideological Placement
Distribution of Steadfast Conservatives and the overall public on a 10-item scale of political values.
Steadfast Conservatives make up 12% of the population
YESSSS!!!! I’m a minority!! where’s my free $hit?
Male or female were the only choices? I smell cisgender bias.
12/12, most likely because Harvey was kind enough to point out the necessity of making sure one’s answer was highlighted before moving to the next question.
I wish they had a 13-18 demographic. See if all that public school learnin’ is correlating into anything.
I got two wrong, on the questions I was unsure about. I’m good.
#4
I got Business Conservative. 10% of population.
Funny, that jives with another test I took on political spectrum that put me nowhere clearly in the large conservative, liberal, moderate, independent areas – but instead shunted me off into a tiny little block, “Capitalist.”
Maybe I just don’t care about social issues that much.
11/12 not that bad, I guess. Especially with that HS, no college demo
I got 12/12, but I was disappointed. #12 should have had “BS” as a possible answer.
You scored better than 94% of the public and the same as 6%.
11/12 or 91.67%. That’s an A me thinks.
Surprised they didn’t ask annual income, race or political party affiliation.
I scored better than 94% of the public and the same as 6%.
12/12
