HOW MUCH ATTENTION ARE YOU PAYING?

[dorminWS]

Take the quiz at this link.

It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. The 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.

This is quite a good quiz and the results are somewhat shocking.

Test your knowledge with the challenge of 13 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did:

If you get less than half correct, please cancel your voter registration.

Per DorminWS, I need to turn in my voter card.

12 out of 13. I was surprised, as I guessed on a couple. The only one I missed was Egypt. I guessed Syria. I guessed on a couple others & got lucky I suppose.

[MNMGoneShooting]

And I watch the news, OReilly, The Kelly File and Hannity each night. I guess that's not enough to be an educated voter.

Better than average. erm well more than half but the one about the middle east was unfair. How am I supposed to know what country it is from a small random piece of map, I'm not a cartogropher. The rest I got wrong well they're my bad!

Yay I'm not quite a stupid as I thought I was, eh what you want I don't watch the news.

12/13......missed on college graduates (I said more men than women).

[TomVA]

Got 12 out of 13, missed the Supreme Court justice question.

[dorminWS]

Well, y'all showed me yours so I'll show you mine. 12 out of 13. Missed the Dow chart.

The Sinai was the giveaway it was Egypt.

You answered 11 of 13 questions correctly.

I missed the ones about the states in gold, and the stock pattern.

11/13. Missed the College Graduate and the Population Graph questions. Only guessed on those two so I'm officially on "news-overload".
