I caught this over at Doug Ross. Something to do on a winter’s day. Enjoy!
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute offers an extremely interesting Full Civic Literacy Exam
Quiz
Full Civic Literacy Exam (from our 2008 survey)
Are you more knowledgeable than the average citizen? The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Can you do better? Questions were drawn from past ISI surveys, as well as other nationally recognized exams.

I did!
My score:
You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %
It is shameful that college educators scored 55%. Sheesh.

Most of the questions were quite easy. I find it difficult to understand how anyone could score lower than 70%!

Reblogged this on servehiminthewaiting and commented:

81.82 for me, I changed a couple of answers which if I left alone I would have scored higher. Flip flopping never pays!

That’s what they say. The levee question hung me up, and a couple more if I had thought more about it. Looks like we can be college professors!

32 out of 33. Not bad for a state educated leftist.
Missed the one on the anti-Federalists.
