15/15 for me. After 32 years as an editor, I'd be embarrassed to get anything less.

BTW, Misspelling misspelled was a nice touch.

I got 13 correct but its a known fact that North Americans cannot spell.Take a word like colour,I am pretty sure that if there was an option in that test for that word most peeps would have chosen color as the correct spelling and there are alot of other words like that eg Night, Tire,Cheque.

Color - 1. That aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of the light reflected or emitted by them, definable in terms of the observer or of the light, as:
1. The appearance of objects or light sources described in terms of the individual's perception of them, involving hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and saturation for light sources.

5. colors A flag or banner, as of a country or military unit.
6. colors The salute made during the ceremony of raising or lowering a flag.
7. colors A distinguishing symbol, badge, ribbon, or mark: the colors of a college.
8. colors One's opinion or position: Stick to your colors.
9. Character or nature. Often used in the plural: revealed their true colors.
10.
1. Outward appearance, often deceptive: a tale with the merest color of truth.
2. Appearance of authenticity: testimony that lends color to an otherwise absurd notion.
11.

2. Vivid, picturesque detail: a story with a lot of color in it.
12. Traits of personality or behavior that attract interest.
