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

Where are the “YES” and “NO” options?
Anyway, 12 for 12.

Posted by vjp | Wednesday, December 26, 2007, 3:41 pm12/12. 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.
Posted by spotter | Wednesday, December 26, 2007, 6:13 pm12/12. 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.
