Are you scientifically literate?

Take this quiz to find out.

I took it, my score and my shame are posted below. I could have answered two of the eight I missed correctly, but I moved too quickly. Oops. Well, I deserve the score I got.

Be aware, it's kind of a long test, fifty questions. I took about ten minutes to complete it. It covers physics, biology, history, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, geometry, etc. I really liked it, I hope you like it too.

Are you scientifically literate?

I gave up after question 20 when I realized I had way more wrong answers than right.

BigV · 02-02-2012, 12:37 AM

Awwww....

regular.joe · 02-02-2012, 12:50 AM

37 correct for me.

DanaC · 02-02-2012, 04:18 AM

29 correct.

And, in fairness quite a few of those I only got right because of the clues about Greek and Latin terms.

Stormieweather · 02-02-2012, 10:40 AM

Apparently, I am scientifically illiterate. I depend on google for my literacy

We're tied. A few questions that were 50/50 I got wrong and I got a few wild ass guesses right. For the dinosaur question, I talked myself out of the right answer.

I'm unlitterate as well.

BigV · 02-02-2012, 10:44 AM

You're welcome, and very impressive performance. You are indeed literate.

I've tried twice, and gotten kicked off at question 42.

Very significant!

I'm on question 2, and I already have gotten half wrong. Not looking good.

I really thought I would do better, but, armed with only a high school education, during which I paid absolutely no attention whatsoever, I'm actually pretty happy with my score.
