On the other hand, those Swedes are on top of their shit.

See, the thing that you have to remember is that people don't take these seriously. They put the wrong answers intentionally because they think it's funny. And because Americans are the only people in the world with a sense of humor (with the possible exception of 5 or 6 English), we are the ones who do that the most.

I mean, really, all those damned Australians put JEDI as their religion on a government document, and you expect THIS to be accurate?

Oh, I got 20/20. :-p

this was a test given to students, not a web quiz. the results you put in aren't tabulated.
and I've seen many more tests given to students around the world corroborating these results.
as much as i appreciate your faith in humanity, WE'RE STUPID!!!

What, deus ex midichlorians? :-p

I hate Star Wars more the more I think about it. Stupid plots, bad morals, and bad science prevails over everything else. But that's OK, though. I guess.
