Full Civic Literacy Exam (from 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.
This is not an easy test and can be quite humbling.

I scored a surprising 81.82%. Not bad for a girl that didn't complete college and has an average IQ although I did think I would score over 90%.
But what does that say about college professors in America?
If you want, post your scores here in the comments. I'm curious how Indy citizens compare.
I got an 85%, but was disappointed in my score.
I think the Libertarians should score very well, especially those who have been studying the Constitution, etc.
I scored 85%. A couple of my missed answers I should have gotten. Interesting.
90.91%- but I owe some of it to Melyssa, A. Horning, Abdul, President Obama, and other influences that have shamed or frightened me to more involvement.
I've got a BA & unsuccessfully tried to test out of basic PoliSci in college. Blew the Puritans question, the quote from Jefferson instead of Washington, and can't remember the third.
Good test.
