The eight-question study

This is the measurement instrument for a Columbus State University media literacy project. If you are here on your own rather than at a table, you are welcome to take it, though the full challenge is the better experience.

How this is designed

Two forms, eight items each, testing the same eight skills in the same order with different content. A participant who improves between the two tests has actually improved, rather than having seen the questions before. Neither form overlaps with the public challenge.

No personal information is collected and nothing is transmitted. Scoring happens in your browser. The result code you read out contains which form you took, how many of eight you got right, and your average confidence. Nothing else.
