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.

How can 93% of Americans not be able to answer all of the questions?
The NEA has performed a miracle.
Noticed that little bit of subliminal advertising. Typical of the textbooks my kids used in school, as well.
Question 12 did not say anything about global warming, it said atmospheric warming, and CO2 does cause some.
It is the answer to this question that will be misused by climate crazies, not the question itself.
They are employing a logical fallacy.
Scientists believe CO2 causes warming - TRUE
Scientist believe manmade CO2 causes added warming - TRUE
This additional warming is dangerous - NOT PROVEN and most likely not true. Only a pseudoscientist believes this to be true beyond question, and uses the answers above to give creedence to their claim.
Wait a minute. I just added up all the 13/13’s, ran the numbers through my obamacare calculator and found out that the percentile is now up to 35% from 7%.
Okay, just kidding. It’s 52%.
I can see it. Every muscle effort needs oxygen, and during an asthma attack, the lungs aren’t transferring O2 very well, and anything from walking to breathing [or trying to breathe] just keeps draining one’s blood dry of O2. It’s scary.
I missed the question about electrons being smaller than an atom. I must of over thought it. I am thinking about particle physics and if an electron even has a size at all, like it was a trick question. I need to turn in my nerd card.
Yes, it was a misleading question but you answered correctly because you could tell how they would score the answer.
What gas do most scientists believe causes temperatures in the atmosphere to rise?
What gas do most scientists believe rises causes following temperatures in the atmosphere rising?
Evidence exists supporting CO2 for both answers. The error in both questions is the implication that most scientist agree.
Sometimes you just have to roll your eyes and play along.
I missed all of them. I couldn’t find “globala warming is to blame and the only solution is more government”
Got them all right, seemed pretty simple to me.
I actually read that on twice; most scientists that actually know the science, also know that it (gorebullsh#t warming) is just a computer model and cannot be proved in the real world.
I decided to answer in the PC manner just to get it right.
I got 100%
High school dropout here.
Too easy!!
DAMN; I didn’t even know you were in my club.
You know: old geezers who have paid attention and don’t wear a pony tail.
I am assuming you don’t have a pony tail, but we both know what happens when we assume.
LOL!!!
Next time just try answering “MUCHO”.
Yes....I did forget to add that part.
Independent scientist tend to be more honest in their reports.
That was the easiest test I have seen in a while.
But it says only 7% have gotten them all right, I best most freepers will get 12 or 13 out of 13 right
females did do better on about 2 of those questions, but not a whole lot better
Or, as Jethro Bodine from The Beverly Hillbillies always answered the question, "Oh, boy!"
