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.

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

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

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.

It.
Is. So. Slow. 5/6 so far. If I start getting lots wrong (which I almost certainly will - you know what my maths like after all) then I will give up. I don't mind getting questions wrong - I learn by my mistakes. But I don't want to wait around to be served up humiliation. |
