So there's this Full Civic Literacy Exam from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute goin' around. Basically, 'are you more knowledgable than the average citizen' about all manner of stuff to do with how America works. The quiz info page says '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 seem to've answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97%, it says. The one question I got wrong was about what it means if taxes equal government spending. I think I'd like to thank my grandmother, the history teacher and superpatriot daughter of immigrants, for making sure I got set on the proper path.
Quiz starts here if you're interested.
