Are you smarter than a politician? (USA)

[OverdrivePrime]

Well, are ya? Coming off the high-intensity election season, it's time to test your knowledge against the schmos we elected.

Take this lil' test here, and have some confidence. The test is created by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as part of the American Civic Literacy Program, which reports that the average elected offical has scored 44% on the test, while the average citizen who has not held public office scores a 49%.


Apart from two embarrassing fumbles, I'm pretty pleased with how I did. Maybe all my political wonkery over the past few years has actually taught me something!
My score:[HIDE]93.94%[/HIDE]

I've actually got a hunch that people from outside the USA will do better than American citizens on this. Please, please, prove me wrong!

You have to take into account some people might be cheating though. I did it without looking anything up, and that's what I got.

Yeah I just did it on the fly.

I'm actually pretty embarrassed about my score... I missed like 8, and a few of them were really dumb mistakes that had more to do with my not paying complete attention to the question. :disappoin

Some of them I knew. The rest I just guessed on.
