Pew IQ news quiz

Eh ... which is smaller, a part of thing or the whole thing.

ummm...smaller parts go into a whole thing?

that's what she said.

[Larry]

Some of those were ridiculously easy. I'll admit to guessing on more than one, though.

(Like, I thought the Dow was around 13, and the choices were 10 and 16.)

But, I happened to guess right on all of them.

[“Misdirection”]

On the Political one I got 9/12

The science one I got 11/12

Not bad. :cool:

That's what jogged my memory,if one fits inside another it has to be smaller right?

Or sumpthin like that

Doesn't it occur to you to gaze in askance upon any test that you score so well on so easily?

[Enter Apotheosis]

10/12 on the political quiz, on both of the ones I missed (troop levels, health care spending) I talked myself out of the correct answer.

12/12 on the science quiz, was awfully straightforward.

[ACW]

I missed 7, 9, 10, and 12.

[greenspandan]

11/12 on the politics quiz (95th percentile)

12/12 on the science quiz.

12/12 on science.

Missed on the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

[Titans&SkinsFan]

10/12 on politics which was better than expected (i guessed on 3 of them and got 1 of those right)

12/12 on science

[December90]

I got 11/12, missed the afghan question.

[Koolblue13]

I didn't know who Max was, but got the rest correct.

[stupidmorals]

12/12 on the science quiz, but it was pretty simple, general knowledge stuff.

[luckydevil]

12/12 on both

pretty damn easy

[AsburySkinsFan]

First time through, though the Bernanke question almost got me.

BTW, the Baucus one I thought a lot would get since the Senate Health Care Bill is often times referred to as the Baucus Bill. Shows what I know...:whoknows:

I was amazed at the disparity in the educational levels though, if memory serves it was a 10-15% difference for each level of education, not all together surprising I just didn't expect that wide a margin.

Science one

[Koala]

Well, thank u Pew News, for confirming that i am in fact smarter than everybody.....now back to studying, before those Asian kids in my classes get me feeling like a monkey again....

[dchogs]

11/12 on the political one... missed the afghan question.

12/12 on the science one. really, really easy.

[joe gibbs is back again]

Science quiz You correctly answered 11 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 80% of the general public.

:dallasuck

[Springfield]

I will go on to say that if you didn't get at least 10 right you shouldn't be allowed to post in any tailgate debate that has anything political in nature.

I only got 8 out of 12.

Must be a reason why I don't normally participate in the tailgate political tomfoolery.

Now, to see how well I did in science!

(I think I'll do better!)

[Springfield]

There is also a science one if ya are bored

http://pewresearch.org/sciencequiz/

11 out of 12. Stupid antibiotics.

[skinfan133]

dude im ****ing dcrunk and I got 11/12. if you got lesds than that then you are fuclign retarded

[Chopper Dave]

Same as everyone else. Missed the Afghanistan question. Easy other than that, so long as you have a television and watch something other than cartoons or sports at least every once in awhile.

[WVUforREDSKINS]

10/12

Missed the Afgan troop and cap and trade question

89% above the general public...ehh i'll take it

[PokerPacker]

I think rather than posting your overall score, you should post which ones you got wrong. It'll tell a much better story.

I missed 9,11, and 12 on politics

I was perfect in science.

I'm not a stock investor.
