Scientific Literacy Quiz
 

A difficult Christian Science Monitor quiz on your knowledge of scientific terms, what they call "Scientific Literacy".

I did poorly on this test, 58, mostly because my chemistry learning knot gud.:blush:

[Your score

My wrong answers were all over the place, mostly in the fine details.

How scientifically literate am I?

Not very ;p

You answered 24 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 48%

Many were guesses. Others were based on an understanding of language rather than of science.

80%. Irritated at myself for a few of the ones I missed, I should have known them.

68% Not bad for a River Rat.

84% some good guessing going on

78%. Irritated at myself for a few of the ones I missed, I should have known them. And I clicked too fast on one without thinking first. If I had slowed down, I would have gotten that one.

Hmmm I stopped learning Chemistry aged 13, let's see shall we...... (because they wouldn't exempt me from experiments with fumes that irritated my asthmas or allow me to wear protective gloves :rolleyes: )

answer: I got bored. I had one wrong out of maybe 14. I'm going to bed

90%

Missed a couple periodic table location questions, the acceleration calculation, the name of the dwarf planet, and the meaning of nimbus.

Had a 50/50 guess on mitosis/meiosis, and got a couple others by the non-scientific hints in the question.

Ditto, it moved too slowly for me.

It's not my area of expertise, but like HM I was able to pick up some clues in the questions. I had more than one wrong before I quit, but I was surprised by how well I was doing. Just not surprised enough to carry on.

52%

I'm happy with that.

I started off strong like that too. But then it started getting harder for me. YMMV.

Crashed and burned. 62% got a whole mess wrong when I shouldn't have, and had to guess a few.

my mileage didn't notice questions getting harder, but I was running on empty by that point ;)
