13, though i didn't know how to answer a couple of the questions since they were specifically related to American issues and have no impact on me whatsoever. I tries as best i could to equate most of the questions to a Canadian equivalent.
I also have no idea who Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders is

This quiz has been around for a long time, and I have taken it many times and complained almost every time.
Quote:
2. Which do you trust more:
The Pentagon or The U.S. Postal Service?
The executive branch or The legislative branch?
The FBI or The IRS?
The CIA or The Peace Corps?
The Joint Chiefs or The United Nations?
I don't know if I trust any of those institutions.
Quote:
6. Which would do more to guarantee competitive elections?
Term limits Public Financing
10. Which would curb violent crime most?
Stricter controls on the sale of guns Mandatory sentences for those who use guns in the commission of a crime Both
11. In the long run, do you think we can reduce crime more by building more prisons or providing more financial assistance to rebuilding our inner cities?
Build prisons Rebuild cities Both
I don't really like any of the options on these questions as well.
Quote:
19. Deceptive political campaign commercials should be banned.
Agree Disagree
I think both the left and right like to use these--I wonder where they ranked this question?

Anyway, I scored a 25.
Totally agree. The quiz was probably put together by an undergraduate political science student.

A long time ago, I had also dreamed of creating a three-dimensional quiz, with local vs. global policies on the third axis. This inspiration came as Bush was leading the GOP far away from the small gov't roots that they prided themselves on, but I never got the passion to continue.
