| badgenome said: I'm no statistician, so I'm not exactly sure how significant 165 out of 30,000 really is. But the questions they included are pretty basic stuff, and it is interesting that being elected to public office actually seems to drag down a respondent's score. |
165 out of 30,000 really isn't an issue. Afterall they're really two seperate groups. Weather it's 165 out of 30,000 or out of 400 it makes no difference.
The real issue is if the 165 people are representative of all former politicians.
Honestly, even if it isn't representive of all polticians and leans towards city polticians it's kinda shocking that even city level employees would be less knowledagble about the constituion since one would think smarter and more politically motivated people would run for elections... so much so to where they are to the opposite.
