Think Yer Smart? Take the Pew Research Science Quiz...

This (online) one is quick and easy, yet only 7% of the US adult population get all 13 questions correct (I got 12). 

Take it yourself here, you only need a minute or two... good luck!

A 6th grader should have been able to do well on that...lol

But I generally have high expectations in a low ball education system.

13 of 13, but you have to hold your nose when they ask about “green house warming gasses”.

12 of 13. I answered Infrared instead of ultraviolet. Don't know why, 'cause I was thinking it WAS ultraviolet, but maybe a trick question.....
Or maybe I was thinking of Milla Javovich in Ultraviolet.....

12 out of 13... I guess I belong in the 8% group.

They can’t help but propagandize lies about “Global Warming” as if politicized polls make for “science”.

Gender is a M/F question while sex is a yes/no question.

I don’t remember the exact wording, but I knew what they were wanting as an answer. Same with another question on plate tectonics.

13 of 13 here.

So, is a 7%-er seven times worse than a 1%-er, or only one-seventh as bad?

You’ll notice that men outscored women on all the questions but one.

I was happy to see that the percentages were pretty close for many of the questions, though. The education columns are where the differences really show.

That was ridiculously easy. And yet I’m in the 7% group. Which, yea for me, is incredibly sad commentary on the educational prowess of this country.

I wasn’t certain about Nitrogen and made a lucky guess.
