The amazing thing is that I did that well. I have to have gotten the answers on several more right only through sheer luck. :D Why, yes, I did find my American history, economics, and government classes boring as hell (and had several terrifying flashbacks during the course of taking the quiz).

(And WHY THE HELL has LJ taken to logging me out on my home Firefox installation all the frickin' time? It doesn't do it on my work installation. Aarg.)

I'd expected to do a bit better, really. I'm afraid I'm weak on Just War theory and philosophy.

I got an 80 but insist some of those questions were crap.

Damn it, I would have scored better if those questions were about art history. :(

I was also surprised how well I did... considering I hadn't studied this stuff in... well, many years ;p

Yes, I had flashbacks during this quiz too -- to my time, years back, studying for the Foreign Service exam. I crammed for it by memorizing history timelines. DURING the exam, I basically invented economics, since I had not studied it in any way. The sad thing on the FS exam, I think I scored badly on the cultural questions too -- was unfamiliar with both baseball and Broadway theater! (I was a language major.)
