Are you Smarter than a US Diplomat?
« on: November 02, 2012, 11:32:22 PM »
Are you smarter than a US diplomat? Take our Foreign Service Exam.

Diplomats working for the US Foreign Service are responsible for carrying out the policy of the United States. In order to serve at one of the 265 US diplomatic missions around the world, applicants must pass a series of examinations. The tests consist of a job knowledge test, English language test, essays, oral exams, and a qualifications panel. Our 20 questions are modeled after the job knowledge portion of the Foreign Service Officer's test. The real examination consists of 60 questions and is administered over 40 minutes. Think you know enough to become a US diplomat? Take our quiz.

- Jacob Turcotte


Question 1 of 20
1. Who is credited with founding the US Mint and the first national bank in the United States?
 
Alexander Hamilton

 
James Madison

 
John Adams

 
Thomas Jefferson

This is a very poorly presented quiz.

It does not give the total you got correct either as you go, or at the end.

The Middle East geography quiz is also poorly designed for the same reason.

No, but it gives you the answers at the end and you can correct your own test. I got 16 out of 20.
