New news IQ quiz

If you recall, we all took a news IQ quiz a while back. Pew now has a new one. Head on over and take it. And let us know how you did ;)

Me? I got 11 out of 12. Guess I need to pay more attention to the Dow Jones :(

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. “Here’s Your Score: You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 6% of the public. You did better than 94% of the general public.”

    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Vivian!

  2. “2. Do you happen to know the name of the current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives?”

    Where are the “YES” and “NO” options?

    Anyway, 12 for 12.

  7. 12/12. But I was forewarned about the Dow Jones question. And I love that 30 to 49 age category — that sure covers a lot of ground.

  8. 12/12. I guess the lesson from all of the scores posted here is either:

    a. only people who score well are willing to post their score.

    or

    b. people who blog about the news read the news.
