Check out this link to the Pew Research Center’s Pew News IQ test. It asks you twelve questions about current events and shows you your score as well as how you rank according to demographics. I answered all twelve correctly and scored in the 97th percentile. The test was fairly easy in my opinion, especially since it was multiple choice. But despite that, most people did fairly poorly. Even the most casual news watcher or reader should be able to get all of these. I guess that means people just don’t keep up with the news.
