What Do You Know About the News?

Admittedly, I'm a sucker for quizzes of all kinds. Let's see what you know about current events.

"Test your knowledge of prominent people and major events in the news by taking our short 12-question quiz.

Then see how you did in comparison with 1,002 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national survey conducted September 25-28 by the Pew Research Center.

When you finish, you will be able to compare your News IQ with the average American and compare responses across demographic groups."



I scored 11 out of 12. Post your score

10 of 12. Better than 92%. I would say not bad but I fudged up the ones about government spending and the unemployment rate.

12 out of 12. But then again, I have a few primary news sources and several others, so it wasn't that hard of a quiz.

True. There are probably a few that would be stumped by, "What is Hillary R. Clinton's first name."
