Highly political. More of a measurement of the Liberal IQ than IQ.

Got 11/13, didn’t know who the pictur of the girl was, and had no idea what the population distribution was for (who would). Did find it interesting that there was a question pointing out that women are graduating from college in greater numbers than men, and then I noticed that men scored better on this quiz than women for every single question except the common core one.

I scored better than 75% of the population, but a lot of the questions were about things that don’t interest me.

12 out of 13

“You scored better than 96% of the public, below 1% and the same as 3%.”

I missed the question on the Dow Jones chart. I was drawn to 2, but I thought it was another and missed my shot at 100%.

Good quiz, thanks for posting it.

I only got 2 wrong, and if I had stuck with my first guess on the Middle East map it only would have been 1 wrong.

I did good with the women pictured too, I didn’t know who that woman was, but I knew the other 3 well enough to eliminate them.

The Nigeria question was a think about.

Name the one Country in the 4 where you are least likely to die of old age?

I got that one wrong too, I said “minimum wage above the national minimum” and I really thought I was right.

Same here.

Get my news from Drudge, FR, WildGuzzi, Rush, Mark Levin, Fox on Serius.

Only watch Diane Sewer for humorous entertainment. The new guy has the same exact mannerisms, especially the kinked up eyebrow furrow!

You scored better than 85% of the public, below 9% and the same as 6%. I missed the Dow, Nigeria and Wendy Davis!!!

12 out 13.

I note from the chart that men do better than women on all questions except the 2 regarding “same sex marriage” and “Common Core.” Not surprising.

Something more lengthy that plugs where you are politically on a libertarian/authoritarian and left/right societal scale is politicalcompass.org
