national geographic survey
the national geographic did a survey on geographic literacy. take the test. you can also read all about the findings of the actual survey, which were a little bit surprising. actually, when you take the test it gives you the correct answer as well as how the people in the survey answered.
i got 19/20! the question that stumped me was "Which of the following was not a significant contributing factor in Hurricane Katrina's impact on the city of New Orleans?". i really had no idea what answer to choose. the other questions have either obvious answers, or are easy to figure out through a process of elimination and common sense.

Hmm, the only one I got wrong was the location of the original CSI, because... I don't watch it and could care less. Some of the results show that people know certain things very well, and then there are the others that show how very America-centred thier worldview is and that's pretty sad. A lot of people think the U.S. has over a billion people, and most think English is the number one language!?
