Misinformation Susceptibility Test

[Octoberon]

Read about this today in IFL Science. A team of researchers has developed a test to measure people’s susceptibility to misinformation. It’s an anonymous test that asks you to say whether 20 headlines are true or false. Then it gives you the results. Americans get 13 out of 20 on average, which doesn’t sound great.

Who’s brave enough to share a screenshot of their results page?

Not that it actually proved much

Bang on for the average American… given this is all American based questions, I didn’t fully understand some of them, or didn’t feel I knew enough about them for a true opinion, so guessed.

More of a measure of my susceptibility for idiotic, vainglorious claptrap!

13/16
yes I did the short one, it’s all written in English and I’m lazy (what did you expect from a french liberal)

I’ve always stood by the saying, “You can’t bullshit a bullshitter” but perhaps I am too trusting

I cant screenshot, I did get 20/20.

Or did I.

I’m quite happy to admit that I AM quite skeptical when it comes to the news!

Fake news…

Interesting that we’ve all got very similar results. Or maybe the 5/20 people aren’t owning up.

[NealH]

It’s probably because we’re mostly quite old and therefore we’ve seen it all many, many times before.

[Bolosun]

I hoped it would show the ones I got wrong.

[ducatitotriumph]

I’m clearly a sucker for fake news!
I need to get watching gb news to get the real stories…
I did the 20 question one but tbh, alot were guesses when it was American political questions.
