Jedi2155 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/ I hope all of you will get 100% on this quiz but some of the results are quite surprisingly especially when only 31% of College grads got a very basic question correct.... The statistics for this quiz is quite sad and what you should pay attention to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I got 12/13. ""You scored better than 85% of the public, below 7% and the same as 8%."" I won't say which one I missed but I've never taken a chemistry class in my life so there is that defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 13. Some of the questions are more current event related than science related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvy Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Alright, I'm the idiot of the group. 11/13. I have not heard of the term "Fracking" and the other mistake was just head on desk stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Actually, some of the common science things like fracking isn't so bad. 11/13 isn't bad or horrible, don't blame anyone. But did anyone miss the question about the atmosphere......apparently only 20% of the population got that correct. 31% of the college educated....I was super shocked at that.

ren Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I got 13/13 but i can see how many people would not know some of this stuff if they are not in a STEM field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I feel that the textbook science portion should have been known by most individuals, but the daily life questions I would forgive unless you're in a STEM field. The fact that so many individuals got basic science wrong is what bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 This quiz is a breeze for a science major. 13/13 Then again, I've taken chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and cell and molecular biology I hope by now I'd be able to pass with a 100%. It is sad that college grad's can't pass with a 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
