Gen Z is the most susceptible generation but also the most self-aware about their susceptibility. I'm not entirely sure what to make of that but for some reason it seems fitting.

Edit - Gen Z is defined as those born from 1997 to 2012. But all participants are 18 or older. Hmm.

I took the test[0] and it seems rather biased. The fake headlines seem to be targeting conservative biases and blind spots in particular, e.g.

> Left-Wing Extremism Causes 'More Damage' to World Than Terrorism, Says UN Report

or

> New Study: Left-Wingers Are More Likely to Lie to Get a Higher Salary

I don't find it all that surprising that people find criticism of their opposition more believable. I would be curious to compare results with a test that had the opposite tilt, i.e. replace 'left-winger' with 'right-winger' and so on.
