96? I answered them all correctly and scored 96 out of 100? How does that work? Perhaps they should have checked the IQ of the guy that quantified the poll results.

I think that is your precentile, not overall score. It may be timed or maybe they just give you the average of what % got 9 right. |

I got the minimum wage question wrong so they did not even ask me question number 5.
 Hence 7/9 for a 77%. National average 50, no wonder we are doomed. |

44th percentile.
I guess I need to pay more attention the the numbers they spew on the news. They don't even tell you what you got wrong.

only one that was tricky was which houses of congress approved the minimum wage increase. |

Hmmm...They ask about party affiliation, but that is the one statistic that doesn't show up. I wonder why?

What I find most interesting is what was NOT in there.
Nothing about the Iraq parliamentary elections. Nothing about the attack on the Iraqi parliament last week. Nothing Russia's attempts to stop Poland from installing an anti-ballistic missile system. Nothing about Iran's hostage taking, or nuclear shit talking. Nothing about illegal immigration. |

Click the circle to the left of your answer, then click "Next" to get to the next question. If you don't know the answer to a question, you can guess or just click "Next" to move on.
Do you happen to know which political party has a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives? Answ: Democraps Since the start of military action in Iraq, about how many U.S. soldiers have been killed? To the best of your knowledge, have there been around 1,300, around 2,300, around 3,300, or around 4,300 military deaths in Iraq? Around 3300. Has Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that she is running for president in 2008, or has she not announced that she is a candidate? Announced. Has the U.S. Congress passed legislation this term to increase the minimum wage? House Did. (didn't they?) In the past few years, have people in the U.S. bought more foreign goods than we have sold to people overseas, or have we sold more to them than we have bought, or has it pretty much balanced out? We bought more than sold. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is John Roberts. Can you tell me if he is generally considered a liberal, a moderate, or a conservative? Conservative. In 2006, were more Iraqi civilians or more U.S. soldiers killed as a result of the fighting in Iraq? Civilians. As part of his new strategy in Iraq, did President Bush announce in January that he would increase the number of U.S. military forces in Iraq by: Around 20K. Sooo.. wtf did I get wrong? ETA: Ah, both houses approved. Second.. it never gave me a question about how much the increase was. Jackasses. |

If you don't answer that one right, you automatically get a "wrong" count for the next, unasked, question. |

I got that wrong so they didn't even ask the question after that. I know how much it is, I just wasnt sure if it was both houses or just the House of Reps. What is the point in not asking question 5 if you get 4 wrong? |

Same for me. I missed the first Min wage question, I didn't know both had passed it. I think that's pretty good with everything I've had going on lately. I've been to busy to watch the news half the time. I hope things calm down soon. I need a break. |

upon further nosing around there is this quote on the "about" part of the website: A "Fact Tank" Through these seven projects, the Center provides facts and data that help inform the national dialogue. Unlike many think tanks, the Center does not make policy recommendations. As the Center's President, Andrew Kohut, said when the group was launched in 2004, "It's more a 'fact tank' than a think tank. It's a new kind of Washington organization that collects information and disseminates it in an understandable and analytical way, rather than producing expert opinion on policy subjects." The Center's work is often cited by policy-makers, journalists and academics, as well as advocates from across the political spectrum. So, how well you score, your gender, age, and political leaning are all getting collected to provide "facts" for somebody. |
