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!

The page finally opened for me this time.

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 11 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 93% of the general public.

The one that I missed was the last question that asked how many soldiers were in Afghanistan.

I am a total news junkie and I DVR jeopardy every day, so trivia and current events are my thing...those were all $200 jeopardy questions. Now ask me about shakespeare, ballet, french poetry, or opera, and I will be lucky to get 6/12, and most of those would be lucky guesses.
