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.

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly :pipe:

9 of 13

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

7/13

Great result if you ask me

You answered 9 of 13 questions correctly.

Better than I thought.

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

6 out of 13 :joker:

Hate science with a passion

I answered 10 of 13 questions correctly. :amazed:

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

So which ones did most people have problems with?

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

Me neither! :joker:

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

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

Same.

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...
