The Intercollegiate Studies Institute cooked up a 60-question quiz it says proves U.S. college students are a bunch of dolts and ignoramuses when it comes to knowing basic American history and civics. You can’t take the full quiz, apparently, but there’s a five-question sample version online. Go take it. Then report back: How did you do? (Grading scale is as follows:
5 of 5 correct: You’re Ben Franklin, coolest, smartest American ever and inventor of the $100 bill.
4 of 5: You’re James Madison, main man of the Constitution who let the Brits burn the White House.
3 of 5: You’re Al Gore: Way smart, inventor of Internet and “Love Story” model, but haunted by failure.
2 of 5: You’re Warren G. Harding, and your biggest accomplishment is dying in office.
1 of 5: You’re George W. Bush, and you have never liked quizzes.
0 of 5: You’re just you, and we love you for it.
