    Your ability to recognize real and fake news is great! You might be a bit skeptical when it comes to the news.

    18/20

    Neat. I do wish it showed the incorrect answers though.

    Though my initial reaction was “they’re all fake” because they’re all designed to drive clicks, but some of them were really boring headlines so we’re probably true.

    I feel like growing up with the internet really teaches you to be skeptical and weed out the rubbish. Waiting to get results from the parents to see how they go.

      I might just be in the same boat as you, but I was surprised to get 20/20. Are there results for others? What proportion of the population get less than 50%?

        I got 16/20 and it said better than 70%. I also feel like I didn’t understand what the task was.

          I get that. I paused at one point to try to see if there were more instructions on the task. But basically I categorised by “implies certainty” and “trying to make me or a certain group angry” = false news, if it shows uncertainty or doesn’t exaggerate to target emotions then most likely true.

          Does it tell you which ones you got wrong?

            No, it tells you what percentage of real news you classified correctly, what percentage of fake news you classified correctly, and has a score for veracity, which is the percentage overall that you put into the right category.

            But it doesn’t tell you which ones you missed
