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? Questions were drawn from past ISI surveys, as well as other nationally recognized exams.

People dismally fail at civics. You really think “popular” is the way to go?

Civics question:
What form of government do we have?

I got only one wrong, and it was one of those where even the correct answer wasn’t what I’d call completely correct. I suspect most lizards would also do well, while Daily Kos readers or Boston Globe reporters wouldn’t.
