Gen Z, less educated, more conservative people more vulnerable to misinformation

This is why, for instance, academic materials are being banned from Mississippi libraries. God forbid the dirty rabble become educated and stand up for themselves.

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.
