Are you smarter than…

Pew News IQ quiz here.

Eleven questions. No tricks.

Interesting and simple test. It’s astonishing that so many people got less than half right.

These results say that 80% of the (voting age) public doesn’t have a clue – and that’s pretty scary.

No wonder politicians and fear mongers take such advantage, or maybe they are as ill-informed as those they attempt to “inform.” An even more frightening thought.
