An interesting quiz designed to educate you on the gap between your perception and the reality on various issues. And to compare your own number with that of the general population, as well as the actual correct number. And to teach you stuff you need to know to arm yourself against MSM mind fvckery.

Ranking of all countries surveyed appear at the bottom. TG, what gives???

I came out ahead of the general US number, but not by much.

Interesting quiz, though I would have thought the question "How Well Do You Know Your Country?" would involve fewer questions that depend on polls (iow - what percentage of *insert country here* people think....) and more on factual matters.

Got ranked at #1.
Also got #1 when masquerading as American.

What surprised me the most was the large difference between the two countries on the morality questions (sex outside marriage etc.)

Close - I was 13

Then I masqueraded as Mexican - 30
Then I masqueraded as Indonesia- 41 - about as low as you can score

Go ahead, try Indonesia


The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I ranked 7th - which is much better than I estimated! I thought I was all over the map.
