I too scored 11.
I got a 12 🙂
That just made my morning.
11. Judging from the overall results, those who score less than 11 aren’t admitting it or posting it.
I got all 12 correct.
11. Totally forgot about Sotomayor making it more than one.
11 those were pretty easy
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!
I got a 10 and was surprised I got that high, but calling it an IQ quiz is laughable…..lol
11. I missed the question on military fatalities.
I got a 5 YAY! I live under a rock LOL!
10. I listen to NPR.
6 / 12
6/12, but I’m not american.
I got 11 out of 12. I missed the number of women on the Supreme Court. Not too shabby…
Hey LeAnn,
NPR usually makes you stupider not smarter. LOL
12.
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.
Only a 9. I’m kind of bummed. I did much better than my 18-29, high school demographic.
3, I’m not american
This is an informed group…I ended with 11 correct too!
I really suck, I got 2 correct — and considering one of those was about Stephen Colbert… Yikes!
11 missed the filibuster and i don’t watch the news i get my info from drudge and wnd.com
@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?
8, but I live in Japan.
I got 6. I think all that means is that I spend more time on Bits and Pieces than I do watching TV.
12/12, but I think on the last page I got my age wrong.
Lol @ DJ!
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.)
DJ – Sorry, dude, but you got your age correct. You really are 75.
I nailed all 12 though I thought I might come in at 10 or 11,
Richard @ 9:47, that’s what infi usually says, but what does that have to do with this quiz?
Got all 12. Interesting quiz.
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.
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.
11/12 I read no news ever… I guessed at probably 10 of them…
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:

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