Quiz does not measure how smart you are, it measures whether or not you are educated on current events. I got all 13 correct, though I had to make guesses at a couple of them (percent of women in Congress, gender of college grads.)

9 of 13 right, guessed at a few of them and have no idea why I should know the population distribution for Nigeria (one of them that I guessed). Nor do I know why I should know what the CEO for Yahoo looks like.
Post # 7 Explains the thinking....
I don't follow what states allow sodomite marriage so that was one that I missed. I also don't follow the stock market, because J.P. Morgan said that it goes up and down, so I don't care since I don't have any money. I knew the lady from Yahoo because ATT is tied up with Yahoo and ATT is my internet provider.
The purpose of the test....
....was to have some fun, and believe me, I made a lot of educated guesses too. Which is why I said that on a few, I had the right answer, but then thought way too much, and missed three of the 13. I enjoyed the test, they do show that if Jay Leno approached us and asked those questions, we'd not make it on his Tonight Show cut as the stupid folks who know hardly nothing.

Got 11. Not bad for a guy who has not lived in the US since 1995.
I missed the first one:
What does the gold shaded area on this map represent? All states that currently…
You answered "have a minimum wage above the national minimum"
The correct answer is "allow same-sex marriage"
,,,and the ninth one:
What is Google Glass?
You answered "A social networking site"
The correct answer is "A computer that you can wear"

Zactly; it reminded me of all those not-PC 'Ethiopian' jokes going around several years ago.
Missed 3 - pondered the % in Congress between two choices and picked wrong, I'm poor at face recognition (though I got half right on questions where that was the only clue), and since I'm in the oldest demographic offered, I'm not worried about being up to date on the newest/flashiest software.
Howdy, up there in Maine. Spent a lot of quality time in that state.
