How low is American knowledge of the world? It'd be hard for it to get any lower. The only way to get results on individual questions is to take the survey yourself, which sucks, because I'm not gonna take it again to find out the results. Two that I remember that were rather compelling: 11% couldn't locate the US, the country in which they live, and 20% couldn't locate Mexico, their neighbor to the south. These scores were not noticeably higher than those for residents of other countries.(Link via quasi)
