Do you know more about science and technology than the average American?

Take our 13-question quiz to test your knowledge of scientific concepts. Then see how you did in comparison with the 1,006 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national poll conducted by the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine.

13/13 Is this to make everybody who takes it feel like a genius?

[PushinTin]

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

How could this be true?????

I don't believe in man made Global Warming either. I am suppose to be completely ignorant when it comes to science...

[MtnClimber]

13/13, but question 12 was a climate scam believer question. The correct answer is water vapor, but it was not offered as an answer.

[RoosterRedux]

I got 13 out of 13 correct.

[Rusty0604]

I missed 2. I’m a business major also so that’s OK.

[struggle]

13/13. Easy test.

[nuconvert]

Got ‘em all - but then I was a science major : )

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

I may be old, but I thought that all those questions were extremely easy - although I’m not sure I got the sex question right...

[arthurus]

I hesitated on that one but CO2 is the only one that is connected by anybody to “warming.” Some scientists believe this because some scientists are frauds and some are even fools.

[blueyon]

I bad...12 of 13 questions correctly. I should have known the one I missed.

[reg45]

The correct answer is hydrogen since that is the gas which undergoes fusion in the sun generating the heat which warms the earth.

[shove_it]

Good point.

[UCANSEE2]

These were ridiculously easy.

Well, the test was not about giving you a valid test of your knowledge in Science and Technology.

It was designed to see if they could generate more hits on their website by appealing to the egos of nerds.

(and yes, I'm on this thread because I'm a nerd, so don't nobody get their panties in a wad)

[EQAndyBuzz]

12/13 +54

Nitrogen burned me.

[Maceman]

13/13. Hoo-yah!

(I answered the bogus global warming question the way Al Gore would have wanted me to, because I knew that would be the answer they would accept as correct, even though it was not actually correct.)

[Steve_Seattle]

12/13 - missed the one about the most plentiful gas in the atmosphere. But not bad for an “anti-science”, right-wing, Fox-viewing Neanderthal.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Too flippin’ easy.

[WayneS]

But Nitrogen is not flammable.

[UCANSEE2]

You’re asking me ?

I didn’t go the link because it’s really just nerd clickbait.

I mean, who would believe that 13 questions could indicate your actual ‘knowledge’ of those fields ?

[factoryrat]

I remember being asked more difficult science questions in the 6th grade. Maybe that was the target demographic that this test was aimed at, I don’t know.
