This was very interesting... This is a terrific test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.
There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who opinioned that " . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . ."
Test your knowledge with 13 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!

13/13, but that was easy. Try some hard questions, Pew Center.
13 with half my brain tied behind my back.
Looks like wymyn are dumber than men.
I am thinking you are right.
I just took the test and answered 13 out of 13 correct-in the upper 92% of all test takers. Gee I wish my PSAT or ACT scores had been that good. But then this was a test for Freepers.
Certainly no nuance to those questions.
One the first question, the correct answer is not available.. I do not see a “worthless sack of rocks”
13/13 Easy

To do well, you must watch TV or possibly read a “news magazine”. Some questions are pictures, as in, whose face is this?
13/13, but the questions are way too easy.
I almost missed the picture of Sotomayor though, confusing her for Kagan. Because, really, I see no difference.
100% along with 8% of population.
Disclosure: I’m a FReeper.
Bragging. I got them all right!
It pays to watch Fox News.
13/13. It said 8% of the public scored this well. Er...D*mn! Now if they’d asked me to find the hypotenuse...no way.

too easy...brainless quiz
I got all 13 correct...it also does not surprise me that the American electorate is dumb...after all they elected Obama and hes still supported by 40 plus percent of the population.

Are there ANY FReepers willing to admit to getting less than 13? 12?
