Don’t Vote.org has a quiz you can take to see if you can identify 30 individuals (from their photo) and their occupation/job title. Non-partisan, relatively simple and straightforward, but interesting.
Thanks to Nora for the link.
And, oh, NewMexiKen missed two of the 30.
30 of 30. I did not recognize one, but guessed correctly.
I missed Harry Reid and Ban Ki-Moon. It says I “should definitely vote.”
I mailed my ballot in one week ago. Oregon is strictly vote by mail.
30/30. The only really hard one for me was identifying Ban Ki-Moon, and separating him from Emperor Akihito, because I haven’t seen many pictures of either of them. It would be cool to have another test with B-level national/global players (Angela Merkel, Barack Obama, etc.)
I managed to get about 82%, which was better than I expected, since I almost never watch the news or read a newspaper. I slipped up more on the female celebrities than the world leaders, so that’s encouraging.
