So, I came upon this link that asks the question: Are you smarter than an educator? That seems to be a pretty low bar as far as intelligence indicators go, but I took the test anyway. I was astounded when I saw just how easy the questions were. I did miss two which I attribute more to not reading carefully than to ignorance. Even so, I scored a 93%. Now get this: The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the test was 49%; college educators scored 55%! That’s pretty damn scary.
Here’s a direct link to the test. Go ahead and take it. It will probably make you feel good about yourself. Or sad for your fellow citizens. Or both.
John,
I’m betting you can round that up to a 94% (I’m about to make the change on my blog). Assuming you got a 31 out of 33, that’s 93.93%, effectively a 94%.
You civics badass, you.
Ha. Yeah, I knew it was 93 and change but I didn’t feel like going back to check (or do the math).
