Science Quiz

Yep. It must have been easy.
My score:
You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.
 
It said 7% of the people scored 13 of 13 correctly. Anybody wanna bet that 100% of POAers get 13 of 13?
 
Also scored 13/13. By far, it looks like the most difficult question for the general public is the dominant gas in the atmosphere. Bets on whether the most common answer was CO2? :)
 
13/13. If you'll notice, all of the questions had a higher percentage of males answer correctly than females.

:)stirpot:)

Actually they beat us in one, my bad :p

13/13 the poa members are right on.
 
13/13 here. Had to think through some.
 
13/13 here too. I learned most of these in elementary and middle school. :rolleyes:

There are two. Seems the females beat males on the drug-related questions.
 
13/13 College education finally is worth something.
 
12/13. I didn't remember that electrons were smaller than atoms.
 
13/13

.....but obviously a product of the vast Liberal Left Wing Conspiracy!
Global warming - science? harrumph!
 
I'm a winner - 13/13. Guess I can stay in POA!

Interestingly-done survey. Half the fun of surveys is how they word the questions.
 
13 out of 13 softballs.

I thought the questions were worded poorly. Alex Trebek would not approve :D
 
13/13 for me and it still says 7% got this score out of 1006 who have taken it. Kind of sad I guess.
 
lololol at the which gas do most scientists think causes atmospheric temperatures to rise. I wonder how many people fell for "helium" :rofl:

There's a footnote that says they are not counting Internet responses in their official results tabulation. Don't worry, they will send you a gold star though! :D
 
One of the easiest QUIZZES I have taken, scored 13/13 for 100%.

I wonder what the true intent of this survey is? I can't imagine the Pew Research center really cares about how many people answer all 13 correctly. I would guess they are more interested in the questions concerning the controversial topics (global warming, fracking etc).
 
Pfffft....

13 / 13. Kinda guessed in the electron question. For some reason I was thinking it was bigger. Then thought, duh, it has electrons. 20 yrs since I took any college science.

An electron is part of an atom so must be smaller.

The thing that surprised me was only 20% of people got that nitrogen is the chief constituent of the atmosphere, seriously?:dunno:
 
Very simple test in my view.
America that once sent human beings to walk on other worlds should be polling far better. Not a surprise to me sadly, but still deeply disturbing.

8th grade stuff.

Actually, we beat you in two... both medical-related questions, and one which was really about scientific reasoning, and the only question that wasn't strictly about factual knowledge.
 
13/13. Test needs a time component for further differentiation of superior intellect :frog:

Wife: 11/13
15 yr old daughter: 13/13 (completed just as fast as I did)
12 yr old daughter: 10/13
10 & 8 yr old sons: Refused to take on policy grounds. Should only have to take tests in school.

Easy peasy 13/13

I'm a bit shocked to see only 20% of the populace knows N2 is the major constituent of the atmosphere.
 
I think people may be getting a bit thrown off by the fact Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and confusing it with the contents of our atmosphere.
