I do think this test is too easy, though. Some of the fake news headlines are QAnon-bait levels of insane.
@voltronic I agree got a similar score, assumed that’s part of the test. Would have liked to know which I got wrong.
@voltronic I did the MIST-20 and got a 19/20. One of the headlines was real and I thought it was fake, but I got all the fake ones!
@voltronic there are some who are susceptible to fake news because they do not bother with checking sources. But want easily digestible facts, and lack critical thinking skills
@voltronic yeah, some were pretty obvious.
Some also had a time component to them I think. I interpreted each one as if it was an assertion about events/attitudes from right now this minute. Not sure if that's what was intended.
