(22,897 posts)I bet if you retook it, you'd get most of the ones correct that you originally missed
THAT'S intelligence-- learning from one's mistakes!!

(29,047 posts)I suspect these tests are scored very leniently to flatter the test taker so we'll be more likely to share. 😃
ailsagirl
(22,897 posts)I have to confess that most of the ones I got right were not because I learned it in college but just general knowledge.
But still... fun

(205,341 posts)Though I missed several due to carelessness, as well, and guessed on a few which I got right. I did well on the Shakespeare and history questions, not sure if that was from high school or college. That was fun!
discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,479 posts)But the quiz thought well of me. Lots of folks on DU seem very well spoken/written/read/informed and are often very wise. I'll have to write to Skinner in ATA and express thanks for that.
I guessed correctly on at least a half dozen and I got about 3-4 wrong.
Have yourself a damn fine day, weekend, holiday, year, life....
Rhiannon12866
(205,341 posts)I went to a competitive - but very "progressive" - college, and we got "evaluations," rather than letter grades. We were actually two schools, called them "coordinate" colleges, so I did take several courses, the sciences and a couple of semesters of Shakespeare, for which we got grades. I did pretty well, but it made my Dad crazy (and he was paying for my education). He'd look at what I brought home and say "Are you an A student or a C student?!" LOL. But it was worth it, since I learned much more than what my courses taught me there - it was a "liberal" education...
Good to see you, my friend!

I did poorly on the Bible questions since we did not cover that where I went to school, and many others I have just forgotten
