Civics Test
I got 53 out of 60 here. I'm kind of embarrassed. But my score was 19 percent better than the average Harvard senior.

I tied with you. Some of the questions were hard!

Got 52. Late at night, after several beer. And I'm not an American.
The average Harvard senior should be ashamed of her/his self.

13 wrong out of 60, 78%. I was disappointed until I saw the college scores.

47 out of 60... damn economists... still better than the (average) Harvard seniors...
Posted by: ceabaird | September 25, 2007 at 11:59 PM
56/60 -- surprised myself.
Posted by: groobles | September 28, 2007 at 09:59 PM
did you notice that the quiz is sponsored by ISI (conservative institute working on campuses, sponsoring forums for high school students etc. -- sort of a non-batshit insane version of david horowitz)?

I got 55 right--but I'm also 55 years old. If I'd taken that test 35 years ago, I'd probably have been smack at 46 percent at best. You really do live and learn.

Given the elite collegiate scores, I shudder to think what a general population score would be.
