Take The Quiz!
Posted by Bigfoot on November 24th, 2008
How well do you know your civics? Find out by taking this quiz from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
I found this quiz twice, in two very different places – a message board on a site for Virginia Tech athletics and a blog full of rightwing conspirators (as our next Secretary of State would call them). Thus, an interestingly divided H/T.

Only missed 2 (94%)! Sad that the average was only 78% for the month of November. And what is even more ridiculous is that the “elected officials” were so far behind the “average” man. And we wonder why our nation is in trouble…

Nailed it-100%. Some really thoughtful questions there. Interesting to see the spread between the public and elected officials. My son’s taking AP American Government this year – I’ll have see how he does.

I got’em all too. I read the details of how so many DON’T really understand and it amazes me. Until I think about our public schools. Hmm.

I took the quiz earlier today and got one wrong. Easily better than the national average, but only about average for an ARS blogger.

I got a 78%, and was happy that I was above the national average. Then I realized that I was barely above the national average. Time to brush up on my history.

78.79%. Eh.

Thanks for the shout out for Grizzly Groundswell. I was the one that posted this there.
I got 3 wrong, but I still think that some are not exactly right. But I was well above the average idiot.
