19 out of 20, although I disagree with the one I missed (the religion question).

 

This is sad as hell.

Not only does the US rank damn near last (or dead last) in every question, but we are last in one of the most relevant questions in the survey, and second to last in the other:

Where does Al Qaida and the Taliban Originate?

results: 58% of Americans know.

And where is Afghanistan on this world map?
http://cranede.nationalgeographic.co...r_18_18_1.html
results: 17% of Americans know.

Seriously sad. And for the record (is there a record? ) I got 18 of 20 right.

20 OUT OF 20

 

no the worst was that only 89 percent americans knew where america is that's sad. and i think that germany had 95% on this

 

Whoops! I mixed up Argentina with Brazil.

And also I put Islamic, I wasn't really sure, I thought it was that or Christianity.

I wasn't sure which of those three islands were Sweden, but they only had the number for one of them on the answer list.

 

I got 18/20. I had no idea where Argentina was located . I also missed the question regarding the number of people living in the U.S.

 

19/20

MISSED ISRAEL BY A HAIR

 

19/20 - oh that religion!
So, are Pro owners just better informed than average, or do only those who score high comment!

 

I got 19. I missed the religion one too. I think only the high scores comment Did you read the article that said people surfing the net scored 65% better than those that didn't?

Up here we tend to maintain a superiority complex of our knowledge of 'wordly things' vs. our US neighbors, but sadly, this survey shows that our arrogance is unfounded

 

Screw that. Canada did pretty crappy as well, but at least we knew where USA was. I got 20/20, though the relgion one was a guess, so I actually got 19.5. The part that hurt was the basic geography questions. i mean, they didn't even put the multi choice answers close to each other, they were all over the map.

 

16/20 i suck, thanks for the link though..

 

Sweden is not an island

 

Duh you're right . What I meant to say is I could mix it up for Finland or Norway but they aren't answers to that question.

 

no no...............christianity is the most practiced religion, not islam.
I am pretty sure that National Geographics knows a little more than we do about this...................
how many of you are Chrisitian ??? I am one of them

oh yeah.......and I got 19/20

 

Christianaity is still the most practiced religion in the world. Don't forget 80% of north America and 96% of South America is Chistian. then you have Europe I think thier around 90% Afica is around 65% and Asia is 15% or so. Even were Islam is strongest there are other religion. Egypt 94% Muslim 6% Christian. Jordan 92% Muslim, 6% Christian, 2% other. Lebanon 70% Muslim, 30% Christian.
Syria 90% Muslim, 10% Christian.
