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?
Take the test. 33 questions. It's not easy. Be sure to check out the table at the end of the quiz that shows the incredible spread between the scores of citizens and politicians.
Post your score below.
Enjoy!

WOOO HOOOOO!
And the one I got wrong was not one I thought I got wrong.
Some of them were a little wiggly.
Thanks for posting this and allowing me to elevate my self-esteem.

Not bad, but after they showed me which answers I flubbed, I learned quite a bit.

Y’all are killing the politicians that took the quiz. Did you check out that table? Disheartening to say the least.

Not bad, but after they showed me which answers I flubbed, I learned quite a bit.That was the best part of the test for me. Not only learning which questions I missed, but why and what the correct answer was.

I just took the test and scored 100%. The mind blower is that so many elected officials are clueless. Our freedoms are at great risk...

84.85% — 28/33. Not bad for a foreigner, I'd say.
Here's the note about one of the questions I got wrong:
Question: What part of the government has the power to declare war?
Your Answer: the president
Correct Answer: Congress
My question: has anyone told this to Obama?
