How science literate are you?

[Sticks]

I did this test (http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/) and scored 13/13 (100%) :dance:

According to the spiel

Take our 13-question quiz to test your knowledge of scientific concepts. Then see how you did in comparison with the 1,006 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national poll conducted by the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine.

[Smithy]

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly :pipe:

[King Gizzard]

9 of 13

not bad, was expecting worse. Did alright at Science GCSE

[Roy Mars III]

13/13 (100%)

[Marcus.]

9/13 go me

[Jake.]

7/13

Great result if you ask me

[Chuck]

7/13 :"(

[LemonJam]

You answered 9 of 13 questions correctly.

Better than I thought.

[reece(:]

Got 11, and I do Biology and Chemistry at college.

[MTVN]

6 out of 13 :joker:

Hate science with a passion

[Vanessa]

I answered 10 of 13 questions correctly. :amazed:

[Apple202]

got them all right bar the last one :bored:

[Roy Mars III]

6 out of 13 :joker:

oh dear

[Sticks]

I had hoped they would give mini explanations for the answers, but they didn't.

So which ones did most people have problems with?

[King Gizzard]

I can't...actually remember the questions :laugh:

[Ramsay]

7/13
must better than i expected

[Vanessa]

I can't...actually remember the questions :laugh:

Me neither! :joker:

[Apple202]

I was surprised that so many people (according to the stats) got the Nitrogen one wrong, I thought that was common knowledge

[reece(:]

The laser-sound waves one, I'm no physicist.

[lily.]

You answered 9 of 13 questions correctly.

Better than I thought.

Same.

[Josy]

You answered 12 of 13 questions correctly

[mizzy25]

surprised to get 7

[Livia]

13 out of 13. Not bad for someone who gets virtually all of their scientific knowledge from the Big Bang Theory.

[Livia]

got them all right bar the last one :bored:

Was that the one that asked which age group you were in, or whether you were male or female?

Just kidding...

[Jesus.]

You may talk to me, we are better than 93% of the population. I want a recount.

[Mystic Mock]

You answered 5 of 13 questions correctly.

You scored better than 15% of the public, below 77% and the same as 8%.

Better than I thought that I'd done.:joker:

[Redway]

9/13...seems that's the mode of this thread LOL.

[Firewire]

9 out of 13

[GypsyGoth]

13 out of 13 :D

You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.

But I thought the questions were pretty easy.

[Omah]

13

[Shaun]

to be fair isn't question 9 potentially all of them? :suspect:

I got all 13 :amazed:

[Princess]

12 out of 13, picked Hydrogen instead of Nitrogen for the air question, when I was going to pick it in the first place.

[Joelle.]

Luckily 13/13 since I'm currently sitting my final A2 Chemistry and Biology units... :laugh:

[Jessica.]

13/13

[lostalex]

12/13

the one i got wrong was, which gas makes up most of the atmosphere?

I said hydrogen the answer is nitrogen

[GiRTh]

11 of 13

[Glenn.]

13/13

[Livia]

..............But I thought the questions were pretty easy.



SHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Cherie]

12/13.

[Black Dagger]

You answered 8 of 13 questions correctly.

<3. Not bad considering I took science but hated it so never learnt anything.

[Niamh.]

I got 8/13

[Sticks]

Does anyone wish a tutorial on the answers?

[Kazanne]

I got 9.

[GiRTh]

Does anyone wish a tutorial on the answers?No, just found out I got 12 not 11. It said I didn't answer one of the questions when I definitely did.

[Livia]

No, just found out I got 12 not 11. It said I didn't answer one of the questions when I definitely did.

You can come and sit with the geniuses then, GiRTh.

[MTVN]

Does my 6 qualify me to sit with the geniuses

[Tom4784]

You answered 11 of 13 questions correctly.

I did much better then I thought I would. I haven't done science since I finished School so I assumed I'd forgotten most of it.

[Niamh.]

I only liked Biology out of the Science subjects

[Livia]

Does my 6 qualify me to sit with the geniuses

Sorry MTVN, you have to sit with the fickies.

[MTVN]

Pfft elitists, I will start my own club with Mock :idc:

[Black Dagger]

You can join my club where everybody is welcome, I've made sandwiches.

[GiRTh]

You can come and sit with the geniuses then, GiRTh.Thank you.

[Sticks]

I suppose it does help being a moderator on a science based forum :whistle:

[GiRTh]

I suppose it does help being a moderator on a science based forum :whistle:Are you a mod on a science forum? you should mention it more often.:spin:

[MTVN]

:joker:

[Livia]

I would deter you from making sandwiches BD. I don't think you should be handling anything sharp... like a butter knife.

[Niall]

I got 11/13. Meh.

[Jesus.]

Thank you.

Don't get too comfortable, you still got one wrong. Livia is sending out invites above her pay grade........Again.

Sorry, but only 13's get to join the club.

[Jesus.]

I suppose it does help being a moderator on a science based forum :whistle:

Which one? :suspect:

[Niall]

I got 11/13. Meh.

Actually, had I not misread the sunscreen question as "What type of solar radiation does sunscreen not protect you from?", I would've gotten 12.

And because of that I answered 'microwaves' over 'ultraviolet'. :bored:

[AnnieK]

12/13....

[GiRTh]

Don't get too comfortable, you still got one wrong. Livia is sending out invites above her pay grade........Again.

Sorry, but only 13's get to join the club.
I answered the one about how would you do a test for a new drug, correctly but it said I didnt answer it so I'm claiming 12./13 The one I got wrong was the one about what do you associate with the word nano and I said something really big. Not even close LOL

That's fine, claim your 12. But only 13's gain entrance to the 93% club I'm afraid. If we change the rules for you, then pretty soon the sixers club will be making a case for entry. Rulz is rulz.
