I suspect these tests are scored very leniently to flatter the test taker so we'll be more likely to share. 😃

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

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!

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....

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 was surprised it said PHD considering....

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
since I am an old fart.
