A neat little (American) Civic Literacy Quiz.

(reposted from my journal, with responses from others)

Civic Literacy Report - Civics Quiz

It's 60 multiple choice questions concerning American civics, which includes American history, government, political thought, and international affairs and market economy. I got a score of 70% (42/60) which, I'm proud to say, outranks the groups given here, from the article in Tuesday's USA Today:

Harvard freshmen (63.59%) and seniors (69.56%)
Yale freshman (68.94%) and seniors (65.85%)
All combined Ivy League universities, freshmen (64%) and seniors (64.1%)

Those 6 groups were the top ranked in the charts given, which included state "flagship" universities (55% for seniors), private, secular, non-Ivy universities (60.1% for seniors) and Catholic (48.3% for seniors) and Protestant (56.6% for seniors) universities.

In fairness, I really didn't learn a lot of this in school, and some more I even guessed on. The ones I missed were 2, 9, 18, 19, 21, 24, 26, 29, 33, 35, 36, 39, 43, 50, 52, 53, 57 and 58.
The Dopefish: 42/60 (70%) - 2, 9, 18, 19, 21, 24, 26, 29, 33, 35, 36, 39, 43, 50, 52, 53, 57, 58
Avalokiteshvara: 50/60 (83.33%) - 9, 13, 14, 21, 23, 24 26, 46, 54, 58
coeccias: 47/60 (78.33%) - 7, 8, 9, 19, 23, 24, 25, 33, 34, 36, 55, 58, 60
TheKnightOfNee: 43/60 (71.67%) - 1, 2, 8, 9, 19, 21, 23, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 51, 55, 60
nuttyturnip: 48/60 (80%)
Dullenplain: 51/60 (85%) - 9, 10, 24, 31, 33, 36, 42, 58, 60
Brent: 33/60 (55%)
russ: 45/60 (75%)
NightPhoenix: 54/60 (90%) - 19, 39, 50, 55, 58, 60
Dark Nation: 46/60 (76.67%) - 10, 19, 26, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 43, 44, 50, 54, 58, 60

Keeping score, that's a combined average (of 8 GFF respondents) of 75% (360/480).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
