Science and Technology Knowledge Quiz

13 out of 13... is this for real, how can so many people score so poorly.
These questions were more common sense than scientific knowledge.0 -
I sent this quiz out to the people I work with. I work at a science center, but I can guarantee there are a few who probably couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, let alone answer some of these questions. I think that they'd do even worse on a quiz about common sense. I swear, one dingbat didn't know that oil floated on water. :noway:0

100% Baby! I think this is basic high school science knowledge though. Fun little quiz though, and I like seeing the comparisons. Imma gonna post this on FB just to once again remind my family and friends how giant my brain is....I kid I kid (sort of).0

I found it satisfying that there were laser questions on a Pew web site.
Pew pew pew!
Bwahahahahaha!0 -
I have a feeling if I ask the fiance to take it he wont score very high. :grumble:0

I know for sure my supervisor missed four. Another guy missed three. Oh goodness.0 -
My results:
"You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly."
"You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%."
Ditto... all fairly obvious, I thought! :bigsmile:0 -
I thought it was interesting that women scored proportionally better on the healthcare questions (antibiotics, drug testing, ultraviolet light) than the others
It is no secret that women excel more in the biolgoical sciences than the physical sciences and engineering.0 -

Are you seriously suggesting that women's performance in the sciences has anything to do with how anyone does on this quiz? This stuff is covered in middle school.0 -
Yesterday at Barnes and Nobles, I looked at a book called "Freakonomics" and how the name of a child correlated with the income of their parents. Funny as hell, but I found some truth to it. And it was in the science section.

That's one of my favourite books! I love the section about names... Winner, Loser, LemonJello, Orangello .... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

Oh my gosh, that is scary. I do not even want to know what science center you work at. Anyone that works in the science field should be ashamed for missing any of those questions.0 -

Um, no, I'm seriously referring to the well established fact that there are fewer female chemists, physicists, and engineers than there are female biologists.
I would know, I am a female chemist.0 -

They were too easy, I thought they were trick questions, lol.0

Fantastic. Then perhaps you can explain to me the logic of why the number of female chemists, physicists and engineers and biologists should have anything to do with how your average phone survey respondent performs on a quiz with 13 questions that tests middle school knowledge.0 -
I got 11/13...but one of the ones I got wrong I wanted to go back and change. The other one I got wrong I flat out didn't know.0

It's pretty simple. The percentage of women who take an active interest in the health and biological scientists is higher than the percentage that take an interest in physical sciences. They are statistically more likely to have taken a relevant course in college/high school, and statistically more likely to have picked up a book/magazine/watched a history special on those topics.0 -
13/13. Quiz seemed awfully easy...0

Ahem... :drinker: :bigsmile:ROR
*snort*
As an aside, I've always been fascinated with engineering and fancy I would have made a good one....except that I hate math. Advanced mathematics made my eyes bleed....0
