Pew Research Current Affairs Test

This is a terrific test ... and it shows results in a number of ways.
It indicates that the majority of Americans don't know what's going on. No wonder our politicians take such advantage.
Interesting and simple test. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue and that's pretty scary.
There are no tricks here -- just a simple test to see if you are current on your information.
Test your knowledge with 13 questions, and then be ready to shudder when you see how others did.

I got 15 out of 13 correct.....about average for an Irishman.

We know everything and when the "correct" answer doesn't agree with ours we enter the "bully" mode!

For a Saffer/Englishman working in Uganda, I got 9, had to guess a few of the photos, got them wrong. I was in the percentage that got most right, not too bad for a 66 year-old.
