I got the same score as OP.

I answered them randomly and got 8 correct answers.
Also, I don't care.

God I hate my country...

Doesn't really show much, although I'm sure the average american would do fairly shitty.

I got the same score too.

I guessed the question on Senate finance committee and military troops but got them right.

Got the health spending per person and DOW Jones questions wrong.

I don't consider myself to be well informed about news and politics.

I got the same score as you.
Feels bad.

Got 5 by randomly clicking.

Ya know, it's pretty damn pathetic that 21% of the people taking this quiz got less than three answers right. That means that 1/5 of the people taking this quiz knew so little about the news that they actually scored worse trying to answer than if they had just guessed randomly instead.

Liberal / anarcho-socialist.

inb4leftiesdontknowanything.

Come on! You'd have to live under a rock to not know most of these! All I do is just watch the news and read the paper.

10/12. Afgan got me, but I call bullshit on the unemployment question. According to Department of Labors U6 Statistic, people currently employed part-time but looking for ful time work, the actual US unemployment rate is ~20%.

So I'm giving me 11/12.

I got 11 questions right, all but the number of troops in Afghanistan. I'm not American, and living in Germany. Sort of depressing.

don't know anything about the health care situation right now, i need to catch up. a lot.

I make a point to NOT get into politics and what not and I still got 8 correct.

Follow this almost daily. The only one I didn't know was the troop count, because I haven't heard that number in a while or I missed it.

I figure I missed the ones that required me to know names.

Missed 3.

Sadly I missed the number of military personnel question. I saw Afghanistan and thought middle east.

On the left is "how you did, question by question" so you can see.

6.

I guessed on at least 9, if not 10. Feels superior knowing i'm not one of those faggots who argues about something I can't change.

For roboreference, the question about "cap and trade" was: What does "cap and trade" refer to? Along with 4 choices.

tl;dr Test of recent American news and politics is ridiculously easy if you have ever talked to anyone outside of your house in the last three years.

wow, holy fucking shit HOW DID I GET THAT LAST HEALTH CARE QUESTION WRONG, i feel like a goddamn idiot. I didn't read the question carefully, but now looking back on this I... I'm at a loss for words...

I know very little because, quite frankly, I don't give a damn.

Got health care spending 'wrong' but I think they're wrong, because I do in fact follow the statistics on this.

US spending per capita on health care is only lower than the major Euro nations if you're counting _public_ spending or spending not adjusted to price differences.

I won't bother with a screen shot, because it would be pretty much exactly like other people's, but I got all of them. I had to make an educated guess on a few (Max Baucus and Ben Bernanke). If I cut out the ones I wasn't absolutely sure of, I'd have tied with you, OP.

Conservatard here, got 12/12

I am english and i do not care.

Anyone look at the dem breakdown after the test?

Holy shit, 4.0 for 18-29? I'm fucking ashamed of this generation.

Missed #12, that's all.

It was 70k before the surge I'm assuming.

11 out of 12. I thought Fienstein was head of the Senate finance committee, not Baucus.

Fucked up on

a) Healthcare spending.. it's higher in the US. I said it was lower.

b) I said 150,000 troops in Afghanistan.. answer is 70,000

i'm a canadafag and i got 10/12.

got the number of troops in a-fagistan wrong, got Max Baucus wrong.

Why'd women get fewer questions correct?

That shit was cake, I pity anyone who got any of these easy questions wrong

I'm not an American and didn't know most of them. Guessed on about 9 questions. Still got a decent score wat

>Why'd women get fewer questions correct?

Do you really have to ask?

that quiz was for 5th graders or what op?
12/12

Got 10/12. I don't pay a lot of attention to politics.

I can't remember the last time I even bothered with politics.

Come on, "who is Glenn Beck?". Really?

8/12, pretty good considering the only news I ever get is the 3-5 minutes listening to the radio on the way to work.

one wrong, thought unemployment rate was 15% (which it probably is lol)

I've taken similar quizzes in class before (political science/history major here).

If you think it's bad enough that average Americans don't know this, you should have seen the results from political science majors in a top 100 university. The only 3 girls in the class were the only 3 who got all the questions correct.

12/12
And I'm Canadian...

I messed up who the head of the fed reserve was,and I thought the US and Europe were aboot the same in terms of health care spending

It appears I overestimated the number of troops in DurkaLand.

Anyway... I find I find the thought of some one knowing less than 9 sad.

8 out of the 12

Half of it I remembered, the other? I guessed on it and got lucky. I don't even really keep up with the News on TV or else where.

12/12. Suck it fags.

>>7233996

What really scares me is that WOmen only got 0.7 higher than them...

Got 6. Guess it's not that bad considering I pay 0 attention to politics.

12/12 and I'm not even American...nor do I read the papers or watch TV. Seriously, you just sort of pick this stuff up if you're on the internet too much I guess

>>7233944
>>Does iran and israel share a border
>>42% got it right
>>only 40%... know who glenn beck is
>>what in the name of goddamn fucking

I got 11/12 right, but then again, I guessed on Max Baucus, and Dow Jones, and only vaguely recalled/guessed the unemployment rate and Afghanistan numbers. The Supreme Court Justice one, I got wrong.

Wow, l'm surprised how people actually manage to get into university. What the hell do people do all day in class, sleep? I don't exert all my attention in class but at least I pick up tidbits of info, how can 90% of people just... not do anything?
