The Pew Research Center has a new short quiz that tests your political savvy.
Test your knowledge of the major political parties by taking our short 13-question quiz. Then see how you did in comparison with 1,000 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national survey conducted Mar. 29-Apr. 1, 2012 by the Pew Research Center.
I aced it, even though there are a couple of trick questions, and landed in the top 8 percent of quiz takers. About 33 percent missed one to three questions (tricks!) but a surprising 4 percent didn’t even get one out of 13 questions right.
Wait, why am I surprised? This is, after all, an idiocracy, right?
Take the quiz and tell us how you did in a comment — if you dare …

What trick questions? I’m an 8%er.
An easy quiz. I aced it too. The results show how scary the potential voters in this country are when it comes to their lack of basic political knowledge.
This was easy if one pays any attention at all. I guess a lot of folks don’t pay attention. And that IS scary.
We always new our readers were 8-percenters!
Me too. I are smart. But seriously, the scary thing is that if the questions had been like “Which Kardashian sister has the biggest booty” or “Which pop star is older, Madonna or Lady Gaga,” the results would have been flipped.
I aced it too. It’s scary that everyone wouldn’t get all the answers correct.
