A Little Quiz for the Know It Alls!
A LITTLE QUIZ FOR THE KNOW-IT-ALLS ..................................
This is a terrific and incredibly easy 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 (except in The Villages, of course (:thumbup:!!!) 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 surprising. Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did. (My score was 9. :sigh:) http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/quiz/index.php |
I feared I would get very few, but I got all but the last one. It is pretty scary that so many folks would get 2,3,4 or even 5 correct in a test like this..... and be allowed to vote!

I'm part of the 2 percent of the public.

Politicians want to dumb-down the education system so they can manipulate the voters. |
This quiz comes out every once in a while. I enjoy taking it and passing it on to my friends.
I got my usual 9. |
Wow
I can't believe people would get these wrong. You should be able answer most of these if you just pay attention.

missed # 5 about US spending. Only about 30% got it correct - still don't know correct answer. . |

got 9 but looked at the details on what I got wrong and Republicans control the House of Rep. and it marked it wrong, took it again and marked it correct, did not think a computer program glitch could do that, so I got a 10, missed Medicare which is the biggest part of spending, thought it was debt payments.

Yea, got all 11. I suspect most Villagers do well on this current-events test. It got me thinking that this is another way in which TV is sort of a bubble.

I had Jim take it and he got 9. He missed the spending and obesity question. The funny thing is he watches more news programs than me. But I can hear what he is watching from the other end of the house! |
I also got #5 US spending wrong and a recent walk through the local mall swayed my answer about obesity. :laugh:
