Are you smarter than your Elected Official?

Probably.

The Civic Literacy Quiz.

Of the 2,508 Americans taking ISI’s civic literacy test, 71% fail. Nationwide, the average score on the test is only 49%.

The results reveal that Americans are alarmingly uninformed about our Constitution, the basic functions of our government, the key texts of our national history, and economic principles.

I'm not surprised really.  However, finding out that politicians are just as ignorant about government as us plain folk was a little unnerving.  See the results here.

I missed 3 (but one was kind of a trick question).  What about you?

*second guesses himself*

*waits to see what error in judgment Dr Thonx will make*

Hm...is it really a second guess if you just experience momentary doubt about your first conclusion? :D

no, that's a moment of doubt 

second guess is if you go with your second answer instead of your first

 I did that, but then reversed that decision. :D

Some of the questions made me laugh, considering the current economic situation.

LOL your capitalism and deregulation.
