Civic Literacy (Not Required)

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute annually publishes a web-based Civic Literacy Quiz, which tests one's knowledge of some basic information about American history, politics, and economics.

This year's quiz is here, and it's worth a few minutes to have a go.

When this test was administered to a random sample of adults, the average score was 49%. College graduates averaged 57%.
