*Geek* alert - take this quiz

I took a 12 question survey by the Pew Center (a well-respected polling organization). I scored 11 out of 12. You can take the survey here.

I think the question I missed was a trick question. It asked "approximately what percentage of oil does the US import"? Of the four options two were 50% and 67%. The last figure I saw a couple of years ago was 57%, trending upward. So I chose 67%. (Hint: It's not the right Pew answer.)

  1. 10 out 12 ... fillibuster got me ... and sad to say I also thought there was only 1 woman sits on the supreme court ... I was always good at faking a multiple choice test though - if it was essay or fill in the blank, I would have scored much lower ...if getting a MD license was a multiple choice test, I would be practicing ... neil

  2. 11 out of 12 here as well. I shouldn't take these things on 4 hours of sleep - can't BELIEVE I got the SCOTUS one wrong as well. Completely forgot about Sotomayor - again, it HAS to be due to lack of sleep and the amount of stress I've been under this year. On a couple I gave it my best guess and was right. I've always been good at multiple choice tests so that helped. I didn't find it that difficult - and frankly, I haven't followed the news as diligently as I usually do in the last year due to circumstances...
