Civic Literacy Exam






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.


This is not an easy test and can be quite humbling.


Here's the link: Civic Literacy Exam


I answered 26 out of 33 correctly: 78.79 %


See if you can beat that.

    Just google it, it's worth it. I got 27 right. I can't believe anyone gets less than half right unless they are stoned or drunk.

    You answered 30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 % Kind of annoyed at missing those three, two I'd argue with and one was my fault for not reading the question closely enough.

    Sorry guys - I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to post the link. Then I was driving down the road and consulting my DingleBerry device and that was when I noticed that I'd effed up. The link is up now and I'm posting a disclaimer. Thanks for keepin' it real and making the Team STORMBRINGER look good.

    Blast 30 out of 33. And I should have made it 31.

    And I'm an Australian.

    Good test though!
