The format of the test was a picture would pop up with two names under it. You'd select a name and then the screen would advance, telling you whether you were right or wrong. It would then pop up a short blurb telling a little about the historical person in the picture.
The test had about 100 people and you could tell it was heavily slanted towards the Progressive view of history because, despite being about 10-12% of the population, blacks were about 30-40% of the historical figures represented. Another 30-40% were women and the rest were white men.
This wasn't really a problem, despite the incongruity of equating someone like Billy Holiday with Benjamin Franklin. The problem was every women or minority got a glowing blurb. There wasn't a single one with a description that could in any way be construed as negative.
However, the "Dead, White Men", i.e the presidents were another story. If they were left, they got off easy. If they were conservative, they got a write up like this one about Ronald Reagan.
I don't know whether I worry more about this kind of propaganda garbage being fed to unsuspecting minds or whether the author of the blurb actually believes that's what happened.
Either way, it's disturbing there are people writing these tests, who are so ignorant of what really happened and that more people are going to continue to be ignorant if they read it and believe it.
