How science literate are you?
 
I did this test and scored 13/13 (100%) :dance:

According to the spiel

Quote:

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.

Sticks 24-04-2013 07:13 PM

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 24-04-2013 07:14 PM

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

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

reece(: 24-04-2013 07:19 PM

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

surprised to get 7

Livia 24-04-2013 08:19 PM

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

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

Just kidding...

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

Mystic Mock 24-04-2013 08:36 PM

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 24-04-2013 08:56 PM

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

GypsyGoth 24-04-2013 09:32 PM

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 24-04-2013 10:01 PM

Shaun 24-04-2013 10:03 PM

I got all 13 :amazed:

Princess 24-04-2013 10:49 PM

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. 24-04-2013 10:57 PM

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