On the website of the European Commission anyone can take a test whether they are an 'empowered' consumer - Survey on Consumer Empowerment Index. What characterizes an empowered consumer? Certain level of knowledge of his rights and obligations as a consumer. The survey available online is part of a bigger survey that was conducted by the EC within the Eurobarometer research, which allowed for the EC to estimate what to expect from an average consumer. The questionnaire should not take longer than 5-10 minutes and if you feel like it, you may test yourself on this website. I have to admit that I didn't get all the answers right. Oops. Time to get myself more savvy... ;)
