PEW Current Events Quiz

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

I thought this was interesting

http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/quiz/index.php

I got all 11 questions correct but I thought the quiz was so easy that I was surprised that only 5% answered them all correctly.

 

[Hank_Scorpio]

Missed one (the national unemployment rate question).

Did seem fairly easy.

Hard to believe only 28 percent knew the Chief Justice and that only 85 percent knew what Twitter was.

 

[OnTheRiver]

Nailed all of 'em, along with 5 percent of the country.

America, **** YEAH!

 

[JR]

I only got one wrong and I'm a Canadian!

 

[Beef03]

I only got one wrong as well -- somehow messed up the bailout question.

 

[OnTheRiver]

That's a lap.

 

[PCLoadLetter]

11 out of 11. And yeah, only 5% getting them all right is kind of depressing.

 

[Armchair_QB]

11 out of 11. And yeah, only 5% getting them all right is kind of depressing.

And only 52 percent got more than half of them right.

 

[Mystery Meat II]

11 of 11 here too. And I confess to guessing on at least one.

 

[schiezainc]

I got 10 of 11 (Stupid Britain Prime Minister) so I don't feel that bad.

 

[Mystery Meat II]

I got 10 of 11 (Stupid Britain Prime Minister) so I don't feel that bad.

Trick question anyway. It's actually the queen.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Dammit, I had all 11, but I hit the wrong button on one.

 

[DanOregon]

I got them all.
Most Americans are dumb. The American economy depends upon it.

 

[HC]

Okay, I only got 8 but I don't even read newspapers, to be honest. I figure if it's important, they'll interrupt "Law & Order" to let me know. Plus I'm not American. And I beat 70% of the population? That's ****ed up.

 

[Smash Williams]

I got all 11, but I did process of elimination on the British PM rather than knowing off the top of my head.

 

[Precious Roy]

Missed only one, the PM question, then I remembered that Hayward very recently went to the queen and quit. I am not happy I missed that.

 

[RickStain]

People being disinterested in current events doesn't make them dumb.

(I got 10/11, missed the PM as well).

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Got all 11, but I struggled with the depth of oil spill question.

 

[Brooklyn Bridge]

I thought the PM question was rather easy....Tony Hayward just resigned, Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. That leaves a 50-50 guess on the other two.

 

[old_tony]

I got 10 of 11 (Stupid Britain Prime Minister) so I don't feel that bad.

Same here.
