Ok TRR readers....everybody take about 10 minutes today and take the Civic Literacy Quiz and show us how much you know, then report back here with your score. I predict TRR readers are above average in civics knowledge. The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Here is my score.....
You answered 26 out of 33 correctly — 78.79 %
Average score for this quiz during October: 74.0%
That's an embarrassingly solid C. I should have done better.....you can do better. Make me proud!
Thanks to Blonde Sagacity for the heads up.

I got a 96.97%. I missed the 33rd and last question, which I think is poorly worded.
Damn fine performance Bill! Yeah I struggled with the last one too. The question is incomplete given the answers you are forced to choose from.
Ed, here is my score. Did I do okay? I missed the ones at the end about capitalism and the free market.

Very good!
78.79%
Okay, Ed. I'm just messing with you. I really scored a 57.58%. Shamefully, I lied. However, for the ones that I missed, the correct answer was my second guess for most of them. Had I gone with my first instinct I would have made an 84%. Dianne
Hey, Did Melissa and Alison put their brains together to come up with a score of 78.79%? If so, they each only scored a 39%
That's funny. You're still smarter than the "educators" that are teaching our kids about America.
@anon@2:09, yeah, that's kind of like cheating I thought.

Nice going Glen. Even a deranged commenter like you knows his American civics. We welcome all kinds here.
Reid scored 29 out of 33 for a 87.87%. I missed the last question and the one on government spending because I answered that it didnt help even though I knew it was not the correct answer (the government doesnt help so I was right). The other two I am ashamed to have missed but Civics was at least ten years ago for me as a Jr. in HighSchool (hahaha)
@Reid, 10 years? 10 years for your daughter perhaps....heh heh.
30/33. Not bad for some highschool sophmore with a bunch of libs for teachers.
Anon, you're a highschool sophomore.....in a US public school? And you did this well? Preposterous! Outrageous! Ludicrous!
What school to you attend if you don't mind sharing?
