I scored 84.85% on the Civil Literacy Quiz.
http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx
The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%.
That's sad. How can a person with a PhD be so ignorant? Actually the answer is #31 on the quiz. Schools (especially upper level classes) don't teach general knowledge any longer. It's all about more specialization. I'm not sure it's working anymore.
