[Displaced Canadian]

11 out of 13. I also told them I'm female, under 18, and a college graduate. :biggrin:

 

[walshjp17]

13/13. However, I am news junkie.

 

[Smitty37]

12/13 I'm fairly certain I missed the new Senator from Mass ---- I have not paid any attention at all to Kerry's replacement -- wouldn't have known her name and don't have the foggiest of what she looked like. The rest I knew without paying a whole lot of attention to TV news.

 

[OOPS]

Wow, 13 of 13 here. The hard one for me was the sign for the Euro. Never had seen that before, but eliminated the other symbols. News junkie here too.

12 of 13. Had to guess and missed the Mass Senator.

 

[TellicoTurning]

11 of 13 here... they don't tell me which ones I missed though.

 

[pensbydesign]

10 out 13 lowest so far

 

[Miles42]

12 for 13 for the old folks. LOL

 

[DSurette]

12 for 13. Missed the Mass senator.

 

[Carl Fisher]

11/13 and I'm only a casual news follower.

 

[vanngo5d]

8 of 13 I don't watch the news. I might watch a breaking report or glance through a front page of something on the web or hear on radio. I feel like new stations over exploit the actual news to the point I'm not even sure what to believe.

 

[mredburn]

8 of 13 here also, I guess it would help if I turned on a tv or looked at a news site once in awhile. I watch less than 2 hours of tv a week. If there is no one else home The tv never gets turned on.

there are 3 tabs on the results page in dk green, one of them says "question by question" which will go over your answers. The other is by demographics.

 

[scottsheapens]

12 of 13. Missed the Sam sex marriage question. Big deal......

 

[jcm71]

13 out of 13. News junkie as well, however, did not consider it all that challenging. Maybe because I watch the news.

 

[EBorraga]

Seems like a whole lot of people scored really high. I scored 7 out of 13, but I rarely watch TV, and when I do it has nothing to do with politics or foreign relations.

 

[StephenM]

For a 65 year old female who didn't finish high school, I did pretty well! 13/13
(I love skewing the results)

 

[RichF]

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

Lucky guess for me on the Senator.

 

[Peter Mcc]

11 of 13 and live in small town british columbia

 

[avbill]

i dont have a TV, I dont read the News, I dont listen to the news either. Got 12/13.

 

[tbroye]

Missed 2 Syria and Elizabeth Warren but I know who I would like to send to Siyria

 

[sbell111]

11 out of 13. I kind of feel bad that I missed two, but in my defense, with two preschoolers running about the only time that I have for the news is listening to XM on the drive to and from work. Therefore, I have no clue what people look like.

Just out of curiosity, why would you do that?

 

[StephenM]

Cause I'm a rebel.

 

[sbell111]

Cause I'm a rebel.

Someone is obviously asking those questions because they are trying to make sense of the data. Your being a rebel is not helpful.

 

[OLDMAN5050]

Only fair. I thought I watched the news. 9 of 13

 

[BlackPearl]

12 of 13 and it would not tell me which one I got wrong.

I have not watched a newscast in almost 8 years, it only made me depressed.

 

[LenKaltman]

12/13. All I watch is the news. Shouldn't have missed one. :-(

 

[StephenM]

Lighten up, Francis.

 

[ianjwebster]

You have no respect for the work of others, but I should lighten up.

 

[raar25]

12/13 I didnt know who the Mass politician was.
