Pew Research Center News IQ Test

I find the quiz interesting but the results disappointing. People, in general, are uninformed.

I am in the 8% but don't think that's a big deal. The quiz is easy if you have been paying attention.

How did you do? What question slipped you up?

 

I don't feel like I've been paying great attention and still received a 13. Almost scary how easy they made the test.

 

I got all 13, as most of us will. I bet my mom and dad would both get a four or a five. At best.

 

Terrifying.

 

So that's where you get it.

 

I got 10, and blatantly guessed on about 8 of them.

 

I'm way, way way out of touch with the news these days, and I still got 12. I didn't know what Sonia Sotomayer looked like.

 

13-for-13. If you work in the news business, that test was pretty easy.

 

That was one of the ones I actually knew.

 

I'm embarrassed to have missed the Prime Minister of Great Britain, but in my defense, I'm an isolationist and a xenophobe.

 

I wonder how members of Congress would fare.
