News Test 7/21/2008

I'm sending this article below which has a link that is a news test. I would think most members of our church would get 100%, or close to that, since we are told in the bible to watch world events. Anyway, if you have any comments about the test or how you did on it, I'd like to hear them! Otherwise, you can use this as a tool to see how well you actually are watching world events, and increase doing so if you need to.

Test Your Current Events Knowledge w/the Pew News IQ Test

Here's some fun for your week. Take the Pew News IQ Quiz (h/t NBer DaBird):
To test your knowledge of prominent people and major events in the news, we invite you to take our short quiz. Then see how you did in comparison with 1,003 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a recent national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. [...]You'll also be able to compare your News IQ with the average scores of men and women; with college graduates as well as those who didn't attend college; with people who are your age as well as with younger and older Americans. Are you more news-savvy than the average American? Link to the quiz below the fold (photo courtesy Pew):Have fun NewsBusters. Be sure to tell us how you did.
