Funny quiz. My result:
Your score is 70%. Your have a healthy level of political knowledge. Not so much that you’d be considered a hardcore political junkie, but just enough to avoid any embarrassing gaffes, like, say, confusing Sunnis with Shiites or claiming you visited 57 states.
uh oh. this was how it rated me…
Your score is 30%. Your awareness level is sorely lacking. You may be eligible to head FEMA.
guess I better start paying more attention
You answered 8 items out of 10 correctly.
Your score is 80%. You have an impressive command of political trivia and minutiae. Your crack-like addiction to political blogs, late-night comedy shows, and cable news has finally amounted to something. Congrats.
