Take this 13-question test

From a reader's email.

"I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that ' . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . .' 

"This is a terrific and incredibly easy test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's gong on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.

"There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking.

"Test your knowledge, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did." Just click on the link below.
