Are You Informed?

Pew Research has a quiz to see how informed you are.

I’m pretty amazed I got 11 out of 12.  I missed the question about Iran’s borders.  Well, at least you know I didn’t cheat with Google!  But, that’s kind of sad that a silly little housewife who doesn’t even have cable did better than 93% of the nation.

Take the quiz. Are you informed?

Same here. 11 out of 12 and misssed the amount of military men in Afghanistan. I thought it much higher. Don’t know why.

So I took the test and missed 4. Terrible I know. The crazy thing is 3 of those I started to choose the right answer and changed my mind. no more second guessing. I didn’t know the number of troops in Afghanistan at all.

I got the same score, but missed the question of chairman on the federal reserve.

I got unemplyment rate wrong, according to the pollsters anyway, it really is closer to 20%, but that’s not pc. Love your blog. Praying for your family.

I got 10 of 12. Missed number of troops and current federal reserve chairman. Knew it wasn’t Greenspan but not who.

I’d love to see how the average American scores on this test. I think my 10 yo dd would score higher than many adults. Thanks for posting this!
