I got an 82. 70 is the minimum to be eligible for hiring. Thinking I should apply if any positions open up here.

Is this test stupidly easy or something?

This test requires no special knowledge at all. 

It seems pretty hard not to pass this one.....

I suspect the content of this test is far easier for people who post on a website called uselectionatlas.org than most people.

94% for me.

What I was saying BTRD, is that most professions require special skills to pass the entrance exam.

No high schooler could pass the professional engineering exams or an EMT certification(barring special instruction), for instance, but many high schoolers could pass this exam.

There's a difference between the assessment tests employers give out and special certifications. Obviously no one is passing the bar exam without law school or any type of engineering certification without a degree in it, but those require special skills. The truth is, most jobs don't, at least not in things that can't be trained in a month. An intelligent high schooler could in fact work at the post office without problem. Conversely I know a guy who has a $70k/year high level IT job who doesn't have a college degree. He's basically self taught. And there are in fact high schoolers skilled enough and self taught as well who could work that job, though they wouldn't stand a chance at getting it.
