Default Do you know your current events? Quiz.
http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/quiz/

This quiz has just 12 questions about current events, including elected/appointed officials and some political jargon.

You're not requred to sign in or submit your email addy. At the end it does ask how old you are and whether you are a male or female.

I couldnt get the link to load, and I tried three different computers...two Windows computers and an iMac...it just wouldnt load for me. (I like trivia, and I'm a news junkie, so current events are fun to do)

That was cool, and depressing. I got 8 of the 12. Bob didn't want to take the quiz, saying "I won't get NONE of 'em right." He got 7 out of 12, which wasn't too shabby, I think.

The depressing part is how the general population did.

I got 11/12 right which is in the 93% range. the only one I didn't get was does iran and Israel share a border, duh, I should have had a perfect score, but it's still passing right?

Thanks Twink, it was fun.

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 2% of the public. You did better than 98% of the general public.


Wooo!

Thanks Twink! That was fun. I missed the troop question. But even for those with a low(er) score, it is a good learning experience.

I got 8 out of 12 correct. I should have done better than that.
