12/13

I agree on the whole continents Q

 

[eldirector]

What is wrong with the continents question?

The continents on which we live have been moving their location for millions of years and will continue to move in the future. Is this statement…

13/13 worries me how many got less than half correct. Really scary how a majority got the wrong answer on some of the true false questions.

Depends on your religious beliefs.

 

[level.eleven]

Depends on your religious beliefs.

It is a science quiz.

Depends on your religious beliefs.

Not really, it is asking what the scientific evidence supports, not what we believe.

I got 12/13. Apparently I need to brush up on gasses, I had to throw a dart at which gas is most abundant in our atmosphere .

 

[IndyGunworks]

12/13 I really thought there was more CO2 in the atmosphere than nitrogen.

Just be glad it isn't Oxygen! Though, I suppose it would end up largely CO and CO2 after the first spark......

78% N2
21% O2
1% Everything else

Middle school science.

Wow, that was scary...this came from Pew? I expected it to be challenging, sad state of affairs when you look at the results...yikes.

 

[eldirector]

Just to be fair, Pew also has a quiz on religion:
U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz

I would have earned a solid 'D' on this one! Certainly not my strong suit. Though, I can't say I have any issues with the questions.

 

[Scutter01]

"You scored better than 93% of the public..." I find that very sad. Intelligence in this country has not been valued for a long time.

15/15 on that one, too. Again, quite easy.

14/15. I didn't know Jonathan Edwards was asleep.

13/15, missed a cupcake by not reading the question, and that last one about the great awakening or whatever.

Scored 80% on the Religion quiz 100% on the Science. I was a science major in college.

 

[bobbittle]

That doesn't make sense.

If you've BELIEVED for 10 years, 20 years, whatever; that the earth is only 10,000 years old and that it was created as it is, you're going to answer that question appropriately. You're going to think the "scientific evidence" is incorrect.

(Note: I am not one of such people, I do have a good friend who is though)

I thought it was interesting to read the full report after the religion quiz, it shows Atheists scoring the highest on the full 32 question quiz above all religious groups.
By the way I did 13/15 on the religion one
