I found the test absurdly easy, getting 13 out of 13 correct. Frankly, a 6th grader should do as well. On average, adults get 8 or 9 out of 13 correct, which is just...sad.

Here a much harder test, which is st least at the high school level of science!

Are you scientifically literate?

Confession: I only got 46 out of 50 correct. I'm a bit weak on classical physics.

I got 12 out of 13.

This is why I do not believe in man-made global warming or the notion of evolution. Science is against both.
Socialists pretend that these things are science, but they do not pass the test.

I had to answer one incorrectly to score a point that I know to be wrong because that is the general “consensus” in the scientific community.

I actually did get one wrong because I didn't know the answer.

My goodness, that was depressing.

I scored at 93% better than and 7% the same as in the General Public.

I’ve got only a couple years of community college education.

I had thought I wouldn’t crack the top 15% at best

Trillons of dollars wsted on Public Education and THIS is the result?

Madness......madness...

My guess is that if the average “scientist” who believes in man-made global warming takes this test, he would score 2 or 3.

Al gore would probably get one right....or maybe a negative number if that is possible.

I got 13/13 which was top 7%. I’m surprised. Science is my weak suit, yet 93% of the population did worse.

The test is too easy and seemed silly until I came to this question->What gas do most scientists believe causes temperatures in the atmosphere to rise?

That planted axiom would seem to be the whole point of the quiz. The answer is nonsense because the question implies a lie that the respondent must agree with before he can choose an answer.

getting 13 out of 13 correct

I got 12 of 13 correct. If you answered all 13 correctly that means you believe most scientist think CO2 causes an increase in atmospheric temperatures.

Some scientist study the evidence that indicates just the opposite occurs. The rise in atmospheric temperatures caused a rise in CO2 levels.

13 of 13 as well. Ridiculously easy.
