12 easy questions from current events.
http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/quiz/index.php

10 of 12

You scored better than 63% of the population, below 23% and the same as 14%

Not bad for a Brit.




Guesses for the most part ;p

11 of 12, and I'm disappointed in myself for the one I got wrong. I still don't know the right answer.


But the interesting thing is in the demographic number crunching. Men beat women on every single question. Even the ones about women. Why? Do women not care about current events as much as men?

I got 11 also, forgot Justice Kagen.

I still don't know the right answer.

Scroll down the score page they give the right answers

I got the same question as you wrong, and it's funny, because I could picture Ginsberg and come up with her name, and I could picture Kagen and come up with Sotomeyer's name to go with her face, but I clearly confused the two and melded them into one person.

It may be that women are more likely to second-guess themselves than men.

9 out of 12.
I did well for my education bracket (and for a furriner).

I was thinking it was because women are more likely to take any quiz that is presented to them, whereas men will not participate if they don't already believe they'll get a good score.

Good point. That's pretty true for me.

That makes sense.

I thought I was reading a different thread.

That's actually fairly good seeing as I avoid televised news and newspapers like they carry bubonic plague.

I crapped out on the question about the female Justices...That bothered me a little.

I also forgot Sotomayor. Kagan was the one I came up with first.

10/12

missed Kagen and I knew Pope Francis was from Argentina, but guessed wrongly that he was born in Italy.

9/12

10/12

I got the justice one wrong and the Senate thingy.
