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
40 Correct 10 Wrong 80%
You answered 40 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 80%.]
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.

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 ;)

Thanks to you guys for your tips, take my time, read for contextual clues, pack a lunch, and guess well. I managed to score 88%.
Not bad, a couple of my guesses were wrong. But some were right, too. Fun quiz, thanks!
I'm doing it.
This should be a catastrophe.

Not a total catpostrophe.
Fairly catastrophic.
ok made it through: 72%, couple of facepalm-stupid errors
