Well this is a bit unsettling...

Science literacy quiz

The graph at the end is a bit scary, though the people who fail the test probably aren't able to read graphs anyway.:awe:

 

[Newbian]

How about linking to said graph instead of making us take some crappy quiz?

 

[AznAnarchy99]

I got 12/12.

12/12

 

[AdamK47]

Got all 12 correct and scored better than 90% of the public. My mother will be so proud.

W00T!!! I'm a fuckin' genius. 12/12!! WooHoo suck on that BICHAZ!! :^D

 

[Matthiasa]

To get less then 12 you would have to basically fail at life.

 

[IronWing]

Based on the quiz results, my hypotenuse is that people get their scientific knowledge from watching TV commercials.

My guess is that you did too... that or ummm *checks batteries*

 

[lxskllr]

The one question that made me pause was the decommissioned planet. I remembered right though. It's an amazingly even spread from 5-12 right :^/

 

[misle]

12/12

 

[darkswordsman17]

So, this means I can skip 12th grade, right? And since I didn't get a D, I should be set for top schools?

It's not even a moon...it's a space station.

goddamn astronomers simply voting pluto out. THERE ARE NINE PLANETS!

 

[GeekDrew]

12/12. But I did have to stop and think on one of them... can't remember which one... mainly because I couldn't care less about *any* of the things they were asking. Why should I know when I don't work in that field? Leave it to the experts.

[vi edit]

11/12 forgot my chemistry from 16 years ago and didn't know the difference between electrons vs. atoms. I sucked at chemistry anyway. But I was awesome at biological sciences.

 

[jhu]

The GPS question, one of the answers was magnets. Don't those satellites have magnets in them somewhere?

 

[Bignate603]

Well, that explains why we have so many drug resistant bacteria out there. People are more aware that there's water on mars than that antibiotics don't work on viruses.

It appears i am scientifically fail.

CNN. My only source for mainstream science.

Wrong. If you want to include Pluto as a planet then we have at least 13 planets in our solar system.
