1. I too scored 11.

2. I got a 12 🙂
   That just made my morning.

3. 11. Judging from the overall results, those who score less than 11 aren’t admitting it or posting it.

4. I got all 12 correct.

5. 11. Totally forgot about Sotomayor making it more than one.

6. 11 those were pretty easy

7. Wow, I got all 12 right. It certainly made my day! The only one I was a little unsure of was the number of Republicans voting on the health care bill. but my guess was correct. Looks like the mornings spent reading two daily newspapers pays off!

8. I got a 10 and was surprised I got that high, but calling it an IQ quiz is laughable…..lol

9. 11. I missed the question on military fatalities.

10. I got a 5 YAY! I live under a rock LOL!

11. 10. I listen to NPR.

12. 6 / 12

13. 6/12, but I’m not american.

14. I got 11 out of 12. I missed the number of women on the Supreme Court. Not too shabby…

15. Hey LeAnn,
    NPR usually makes you stupider not smarter. LOL

16. 12.

17. I scored a 7, which is above 66% of the population. The really sad thing is that I don’t watch the news. My fellow people scare me at times.

18. Only a 9. I’m kind of bummed. I did much better than my 18-29, high school demographic.

19. 3, I’m not american

20. This is an informed group…I ended with 11 correct too!

21. I really suck, I got 2 correct — and considering one of those was about Stephen Colbert… Yikes!

22. 11 missed the filibuster and i don’t watch the news i get my info from drudge and wnd.com

23. @Buckwheat, studies show NPR listeners always test higher than any other. Look it up if you don’t believe me. And no, I’m not an NPR listener, just stating the facts.

    @Jamez, please go back and re-read the post. It said “News IQ Quiz”, not “IQ Quiz”. Is there a point deduction for that?

24. 8, but I live in Japan.

25. I got 6. I think all that means is that I spend more time on Bits and Pieces than I do watching TV.

26. 12/12, but I think on the last page I got my age wrong.

27. Lol @ DJ!

28. 11/12 I got the Dow ones wrong, but then I make $170 a week after taxes and child support. (To be fair, my ex gives me half of my child support in cash, so it’s closer to $230. Best ex ever.)

29. DJ – Sorry, dude, but you got your age correct. You really are 75.

30. I nailed all 12 though I thought I might come in at 10 or 11,

31. Richard @ 9:47, that’s what infi usually says, but what does that have to do with this quiz?

32. Got all 12. Interesting quiz.

33. I got 5, not bad for an English man i think. Wonder how many you guys in the US would get if the questions were about another country, that would interesting.

34. I was a bit surprised I only got 9, as I usually keep up with whats happening.
    I am happy to report though that the second time around I got all 12.

35. 11/12 I read no news ever… I guessed at probably 10 of them…

36. 11/12
    I got the one on “how much of our oil is imported” wrong according to Pew. But according to the DOE I was right:

37. I got 9. Considering I’m Australian, not too bad.
