I would cheat on this test because I cheat in real life. I've been humbled enough times not to put total faith in my initial impression and would rather have more evidence than whatever I happen to be aware of at the moment to determine whether a claim is true.
Absolutely. The problem isn't that some people can psychically know whether a headline is true and some can't.
The problem is deciding that you know without checking. Which is exactly what this test seems to want you to do.
I mean what does "real" even mean in this context? Just that it's a published headline? Or that it's a fact checked headline?
What if it's true, but it's not a published headline?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
