Do you know more about the news than the average American?
Test your knowledge of prominent people and major events in the news, by taking our short 13-question quiz. Then see how you did in comparison with 1,041 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national survey conducted online Jan. 18-24 by the Pew Research Center. The new survey includes a mixture of multiple-choice questions using photographs, maps and symbols.
When you finish, you will be able to compare your News IQ with the average American, as well as with the scores of college graduates and those who didn’t attend college; with men and women; and with people your age as well as other ages.

13 out of 13 right here.
Yes, I would expect ALL FReepers to ace this... pretty easy if you pay attention.
13 out of 13. The only one I paused on was the Elizabeth Warren picture. I don’t really care what she looks like. I picked the one with the high cheekbones.
I got 13 out of 13. After seeing the voting idiots interviewed on TV, I’d be surprised if they could get even one question right.
13 for 13...Amazing what happens if you just pay attention.
I cannot imagine how a newscaster could possibly get less than 9 correct.
I got 12 out of 13 correct.
The one I missed was Elizabeth Warren because they ALL had high cheekbones.
LOL...since I am an Indian (Mi’Q-Maw/Inuit),all those palefaces look alike to me.
This is mostly pictures. If you don’t watch TV, but get news from reading, you don’t always know what every 2-bit politician looks like. I don’t call a photo ID test an IQ test.
13 of 13.
If very many folks are doing poorly on those questions...
I missed the Elizabeth Warren question, but that seems to be the one most likely to trip up the respondents.
I don’t recall being asked my political affiliation, yet they review that?
You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly along with 8% of responders

I wasn’t sure about which state that lets b-fers fornicate as “married” people. I guessed correctly.
That's because of Free Republic. Every one of the people listed have had their picture posted here, numerous times. Think about how many times you've seen funny photos of Crybaby Boehner, Lurch, Eric "My People" Holder, Fauxahantus; or maps of countries. Heck, even the Communist flag of China gets posted here.
I wouldn't have recoognized Elizabeth Warren at all had I not seen her picture posted here numerous times.
You don't NEED a tv. Free Republic is a visual, as well as textual site!
