Test Your News IQ
What's your news IQ? To find out, take our updated quiz about prominent people and major events in the news -- then see how you did in comparison with 1,002 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a recent national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. You'll also be able to compare your News IQ with the average scores of men and women; with college graduates as well as those who didn't attend college; with people who are your age as well as with younger and older Americans. Are you more news-savvy than the average American?

Key Global Indicators Database
This interactive database allows users to explore public opinion trends in 55 countries on topics ranging from attitudes toward the U.S. to views about globalization, democratization, extremism and other important issues. Search by question, topic or country. Results can be displayed in map, table or chart formats. The findings are from eight surveys conducted by the Pew Global Attitudes Project from 2002-2009 among a total of more than 200,000 respondents.

Community Quiz
Asked in a survey about specific metropolitan areas where they would like to live, respondents ranked Denver, San Diego and Seattle at the top of a list of 30 large cities. What do you think of your own community as a place to live? And how do other Americans rate their communities -- and yours? Take our Community Quiz to find out.

Comings and Goings: Migration Flows in the United States
Although Americans seem to have settled down somewhat recently, they have traditionally been a population on the move. More than six-in-ten adults (63%) have moved to a new community at least once in their lives and more than one in five say the place "in their heart" they consider home isn't the place they're living now. Use our interactive maps and charts to trace predominant U.S migration patterns over recent decades and find out which localities are "sticky" (high retention rates) and which are "magnets" (high rates of attraction).

U.S. Religious Landscape Survey
Based on interviews with more than 35,000 American adults, an extensive survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life details the religious makeup, religious beliefs and practices as well as social and political attitudes of the American public. This online feature includes dynamic tools -- maps, graphs and charts -- that complement the full report.

Couples Quiz
Who calls the shots in your household? Many people still say it's a man's world, but in many typical American families, it's the woman who wears the pantsuit. Still, Americans retain strong traditional gender preferences with respect to some job roles. Take our Couples Quiz to find out where you fit, then compare your results with the findings of a national survey.

Technology Typology Test
Do you cringe when your cell phone rings? Do you suffer from withdrawal when you can't check your Blackberry? Do you rush to post your vacation video to your Web site? The Pew Internet & American Life Project has developed a typology based on people's relationship to information and communications technology. Are you a Connector? A Productivity Enhancer? Take the test to find out your tech type.

Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology Test
The Political Typology is a longstanding effort to sort voters into homogeneous groups based on their values, political beliefs and party affiliation. The current report and interactive test is the fourth Political Typology study, and is based on a two-part survey of 2,000 Americans interviewed in December 2004 and March 2005. The new analysis divides the American public into nine distinct groups, each with its own unique outlook on politics and the issues of the day. Contrary to the widespread impression of a nation only divided into two unified "red" and "blue" camps, our latest survey finds important cleavages on values and basic attitudes within each political party. Take the test and find out where you fit.
