I saw this quiz linked to a tweet from an economist I follow on Twitter. It’s a short Quiz developed by the Pew Research Center to test whether the taker knows the difference between factual news and opinion news. This is obviously a very real issue in this Country these days. I took the test and was able to correctly identify all 10 statements. Sadly, when they tell you your results, they compare you to other people and more than 75% had difficulty decerning fact from opinion.
Test your ability to classify 10 news statements as either factual or opinion.
