News IQ

I'm note sure whether there is any value in knowing how up you are on certain national news stories, but the good people at the non-partisan Pew Research Center think it's important -- so much so that they offer a quiz (and the results of the national survey) on their web site.

Take the quiz and see how you stand up to other respondents.

I was in the 91 percentile -- which scored me higher than college graduates with degrees (take that, Yalies!). I missed one question -- the one about the number of additional troops that will be sent to Iraq. I thought it was one or the other. I picked one, and it was the other.
