This is an interesting test and the demographic breakdown is equally interesting.  It shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don’t have a clue about what’s going on in the world.  No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It’s astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn’t have a clue, and that’s pretty scary.

There are no tricks – just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. I believe it was Winston Churchill who opinioned that ” . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . .” Test your knowledge with 13 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!
