Hi, I'm one of the creators of the quiz! Our goal was to test whether people would be able to tell what government social programs were effective and which were not, just by hearing them described. We did some research with volunteers and published what we found here: http://www.vox.com/2015/8/13/9148123/quiz-which-programs-work Our results suggest that people are barely any better than monkeys...

Quiz: Can you guess which government programs will work?The average is 4 out of 10 right - can you do any better?
