Default How science literate are you?
I did this test and scored 13/13 (100%)

According to the spiel

Quote:
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.

I had hoped they would give mini explanations for the answers, but they didn't.

So which ones did most people have problems with?

13 out of 13. Not bad for someone who gets virtually all of their scientific knowledge from the Big Bang Theory.
