A lot has been made in recent days about Americans’ scores on a basic civics test created and hosted by The Intercollegiate Studies Initiative (ISI). According to the press release issued by ISI November 20:

More than 2,500 randomly selected Americans took ISI’s basic 33-question test on civic literacy and more than 1,700 people failed, with the average score 49 percent, or an “F.” Elected officials scored even lower than the general public with an average score of 44 percent and only 0.8 percent (or 21) of all surveyed earned an “A.”

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that our elected officials do so poorly, and if you’ve ever listened to Hannity’s Man-on-the-Street Thursdays, it’s probably no shock that average Americans failed either.

I figured I had better go take the test to see if I know anything about which I speak. There are a few tough queries on the 33-question test. I had high hopes of acing the test, but I missed two, ending up with a 93.94%. Woohoo.
