Do you know as much about economics as a high school student?
The following are sample questions from the National Economics Challenge, a national contest designed to increase economic literacy among high school students.
I passed this quiz around the office today and I was surprised by the results (I won't name any names, as I've been sworn to secrecy).
Give it a shot. For the brave readers, feel free to post your scores in the comment box.

Out of 10. But that's OK, because I don't CARE about the history of economics. Which I never took a course in. So there (quietly sobs).
If you squint a bit, a 4 kind of looks like an A.
i majored in economics and got a 3. hm. thanks for proving college was wasted on me.
I got a 2. You guys suck.
Now *that* was waste of time.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. Except the part where it took me a couple of years to find a job.
Hm. Now I feel dumb AND I'm threatened that Andrea can probably speak better Chinese than me.
*sigh*
But goshdarnit, I know all about turtle care and philosophy, and I speak some mean Spanish.
Marketable skills, all.
If you run across some Spanish-speaking turtles you'll be all set Sarah!
As for me, I'm still looking to make a fortune from my massive amounts of Buffy the Vampire Slayer knowledge. Fantasize much? =)
