Are you smarter than the average US citizen? Full Civic Literacy Exam

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Unless you study American history/law/civics, this test would be nearly impossible for a non-US resident, but if you feel so inclined, do take it. I found it extremely interesting.


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.

Yep, I'm sure I would have. I do very well in many types of tests, this is by far my worst.
