so you think your smart?

[el dub]

Take this little 12 question test about the news and see how smart you really are.       http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/the-news-iq-quiz/

[skip68]

Well I got 11 out of 12.  I missed the one about the pope.       
Says I'm in the top 13% and smarter than 77% of Americans.

11 out of 12...

I missed the number of women in the supreme court question, as I forgot about one of them. ...

Your / You're

yur?

[histoy]

I got all 12 correct.  It said that I scored higher than 90% of the population.

[dstryr]

fart smucker!

I got 11...Malala who???

[Ponch ®]

I got 12 out of 12 but that doesn't mean im "smart". It means I watch a lot of TV and waste a lot of time on the internet.

[b5blue]

I got 10 right....can't stand the news, don't care who's in office up in Mass. or know too much about the Pope.  What did I win?

I nailed the last three: What is my age, my sex, and level of schooling, .....but they didn't count those the bastards!

agree!

Here's another quiz from the same outfit

http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/

I aced this one, evidently I know more about science than current events.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Well Ill man up & say I only got 5 out of the 12 right...  

In the link John posted above I got 10 of the 13 right

[XH29N0G]

Wonder if it counts as smart enough not to take the quiz. Or maybe just enough to know I won't like the outcome.

[stripedelete]

Nitrogen!   

[ws23rt]

I aced John's science quiz also but the questions come from grade school science.--I did make it through grade school.

My score on the op's quiz put me above 60%--   I too am not up to speed with the current news but I'm still kinda smart.

What really gets my interest is when scientist/researchers find something new. --Dark matter for example.--- It's something that must be but has yet to be found. Very much like finding out the earth is not flat.

[XH29N0G]

OK, so the curiosity got the best of me.  10 and 13.  And I was confused by the question "Does nanotechnology deal with things that are extremely...  small, large, cold, hot" because I thought the correct answer would be "no, it only deals with really small stuff"


Now I am hooked.  I just found out get a 23 on the millennial score, but was able to bring it up to a 100 because they let you do that at the end of the quiz.

Dadgummit, I'm telling you that the earth is round.     

[ws23rt]

Dadgummit, I'm telling you that the earth is round.    

Good grief.---How can you say that?     Ships have been falling off forever. The edge is near Bermuda, Duh.

BTW their are many edges to our flat world.  Some silly/simple thinkers believe the edge is straight.--and goes on until??--- The real edges to our world are as close as our back yard.  Watch your step.

[skip68]

I think I'm on the edge right now.  I must be having an episode or something.     
Getting back to the test, shouldn't the majority percentage of us be scoring lower according to the study of average Americans?   Or does this mean that the majority of charger owners are more informed than the average Joe?   
Obviously this is a conspiracy and now that we've clicked on the test they're watching us again, still.   

[ws23rt]

Since we have taken the test we are now under suspicion/watch. "They" now have more data and that has to be good (for "them").

As far as us charger owners being more informed??---We all need to be tested or it has little value.

If rational/smart behavior in life's choices about what we do with our time and money were to be a test?---I think we would score low as a group.

What I aspire to is enjoying every trip around the sun on this disc I live on.

[skip68]

  you know, a disc is both round and flat.   We might be on to something here.        
You're using trickery on me. 

[ws23rt]

Don't panic---Being tricked is what we feel only when we are awake. Our dreams are the only real things we have.

I always wondered what the flat earthers back in the day thought about the edge. Was it curved?  If it was than we would be on a disk. What's on the bottom?  If the edge is straight than how long is it?  If it was straight and not forever long then what?

Is it not true that those who are smart are those that ask questions?  Does it not follow that those that accept a premise without question are less smart?----

[RallyeMike]

If we keep up this pace, we will soon be taking tests on the different kinds of tests.
