Fun kind of off topic test: University of Cambridge came up with a Misinformation Susceptibility Test, along with an alarming on topic article about how young people are unable to tell what is true and what is false because they get their news from social media (why did young voters shift right in 2024? Probably this).

Side note: I believe 2024 was the online election, Democrats need to vastly improve their online presence (and most older Dems have little to nothing, which is why very few people, those who attend town halls, watch cable news, actually hear our party’s messaging).
If you’re concerned about your privacy, select “I do not consent” and you can still find out how good you are. I got 81% on the test, so I can tell fact from fiction better than 81% of Americans. What’s your score?
Judging by the scores shared, I guess I have some catching up to do with the rest of you! ;) But I’m very pleased that Democratic supporters don’t get taken by misinformation even if some of it purports to how we feel. Being able to separate emotions from logic is a skill sadly missing in most of America. Some questions I honestly didn’t have a clue on because I mostly don’t follow the news of the day, so I just went “is it plausible this happened”? That’s probably where I messed up.
The trick is to figure less about the plausibility of the stories and more whether they're inflammatory or conspiratorial, at least for this particular quiz.
I got 20/20 but that was honestly more just a test of how liberal your viewpoint is, not necessarily of your ability to tell real from fake news -though they do go hand in hand.

I got a 20/20 which it said was better than 96% of Americans.
I'm curious how to the data breaks down by various demographics.
19/20, with 100% on fake news detection.
Thanks for the link. I also got 20/20.

20/20, but I had to think about a few of them. A lot of the plausibility has to do with the phrasing.
