I answered 10 out of 18 correctly which is better than 95% of test takers.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

13/88 ... 99%
Not sure what a few of the questions had to do with anything though. Renewable energy growth for instance (which I did get right, but was a guess between 1% and 2%). What's the point of that question? How does it even possibly affect political bias if you are off by 1 or 2% in your estimate?

Answered 5/18 correctly, but apparently, that really didn't effect whether I had a political bias. This is what it said:
On a scale of 0-100%, your total political bias was 0%. Great work! About 20% of test takers also got this score. 50% of people get a score between 23% and 58%. The average score is 40.82%.

Probably because your wrong answers didn't align with whatever you said your political stance was.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

(Seriously, I don't even know if that would be biased liberal or conservative. A liberal might be biased and think it was less (ITS WAY TOO LITTLE). A conservative might be biased and think it was less (YAY, WE'RE WINNING THE WAR ON NATURE!))

In total, you correctly answered 12/18 (66.67%) of the political knowledge questions. 80% of people correctly answer between 4 and 9 questions; 6 is the average. Your score is higher than 99% of test takers.
On a scale of 0-100%, your total political bias was 8.33%. Your score suggests you are less biased than about 75% of other test takers. 50% of people get a score between 23% and 58%. The average score is 40.82%.
I guess the idea to see how you err so that you can see how biased you are is OK. The actual questions and the sample size maybe need more work.
I also guessed wrong the one about renewable energy growth. I thought there was no change due to falling energy prices. Don't know what kind of bias that shows.Quendelie axan!

13/18
13.89%.
The two questions on crime caught me (and I admit that I answered based on 'feeling', not knowledge). Then there was the tech companies question (I figured at least Samsung and Siemens would have made the list), US' desirability as emigration destination, and correlation between unemployment benefits and unemployment.Indifference is Bliss

16/18 (funny enough...the crime questions were the ones I missed as well...)
On a scale of 0-100%, your total political bias was 0%. Great work!
