In all seriousness, this was more of a semantics test than anything else. It was asking if people understood the difference in how a statement is worded.
For instance, there was one question that was something like "abortion should always be legal". Obviously, this is a statement of opinion but the Supreme Court ruled that abortion is legal so it could be construed as fact. Although, does that mean all abortions should always be legal regardless of the stage of pregnancy? I guess I can see how some people answered these incorrectly.
What I found more interesting is that the mistaken answers were found on both ends of the political spectrum. This seems to indicate that it's not just conservatives that live in an information bubble, as many have claimed. |
I wasn't referring to the fact that I got 100% on the quiz. I was referring to my statement "I don't think it proves anything" as being an opinion
Also, at 65 I'm not old - I've just been young for longer than a lot of people - another opinion
