46/50. Not a citizen but have been living here for many years. The main things I get wrong have to do with historical stuff like who wrote what. I also didn't know who Susan Anthony was.
 
Ok the first 3 replies were about scripts on this page. Do you guys check every site for scripts or is the page just that obnoxious? (Obviously I shan't be visiting it)
I don't have NoScript at home, but I do have Ghostery. It automatically shows me a list of all the trackers on a website.



I do run NoScript at work after getting a rootkit virus while doing an image search for aluminum extrusions. Removing it killed 3 hours. (I didn't want to risk surrendering the computer to IT and have it returned with a freshly formatted hard drive.)
It's not a convenient extension though - you'll quickly find out that scripting is used all over the place, and that having it disabled will break a lot of websites.

I have Noscript enabled by default on every site, so pretty much every site will not work unless I whitelist it. It is a pain to set it up initially, but I do not typically go digging deep in the bowels of the internet, so after a while most trusted sites get whitelisted and it is no longer a problem. If I encouter a site like in the OP that wants me to enable content from bazillion of third party places, I just laugh and close the page. I'm not enabling that shit just to take a stupid survey.

I check every site, and balance the potential pay off, with the security, or general hassle of enabling scripts. Taking a test isn't high on my list for reducing my security, so I bailed.
 
That page pulls in shit from nineteen different ad/cookie/tracking servers.

I go to theblaze often. I got adblock because of them and cannot see going there without it. It blocks from 10 to 20 ads per page regularly.

As to the test, I'm pretty old and still remembered most of the answers.
