You did way better than I did. Some of those questions really got me to thinking. I had to stop and adjust my eyes. Been along time since I've been tested. LOL

Hey, just so people don't feel bad... This is from the front page.

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

It also said that legislators scored 44%... I don't really know what that means, because they weren't very specific with details of the legislators...

You can take the quiz as often as you like, however, your score will only count once toward the monthly average.



I guess this is the RIU average

Another thing to think of is that people who suck at this probably aren't voluntarily taking it... ? I mean the first people they surveyed were probably random, but most people who take it right now probably like that sort of thing.

Much worse than I expected, but better than the congressmen. I wonder how many on that average score thingy used the google for help, I'll bet a few cheaters did.
