A neat little quiz. This is not a humorous joke email, but a US Research Quiz. See how well you do compared to the national averages. Test your knowledge with 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did. They give you the correct responses at the end along with where you stand as compared to the rest of the people taking the test.

9 out of 12.  I should have had 10 but answered too fast.  We all (Americans) should have 12.

I got 10/12, which gives me 86%.  The 2 that I got wrong I struggled between the correct answer and the wrong answer.  Wrong answer won, obviously.
