The average scientific literacy rates of MLPF

[Arctic Night 884]

This is a serious survey to test the rates of scientific literacy on MLP Forums. Simply take the pewresearch quiz linked below and then answer the poll. Please try your best to respect the following rules:

• This is not a debate. If you are skeptical of my survey or the quiz you can explain why of course, but this is not a debate.
• Do not mock anyone for their results.
• Answer honestly.
• Answer once, after your first attempt.

This should be a fun way to see how the forums relate to the average American in scientific literacy.

EDIT: I understand that the questions may appear simple or even silly to some, but I need accurate results so please don't give the answers away.

Not for you to say.

Some of these questions man, I fear for any who gets it wrong.

There was a question about...

Please do not give anyone the answers. If you edit your post that would be great. Thank you.

[BronyPony 575]

The fact that the average American doesn't know a majority of those questions is concerning to me.

 

EDIT: Also, I got 13/13 and I did better than approximately 93% of the public, apparently. 

Don't let anyone near the uranium. They might hurt themselves.

Wow, the first three people got all 13 correct. I only got 7. Some smart people out there.

[Twilight Dirac 721]

4 out of 5 forum goers got all 13 questions correct.  It would appear that MLPF is quite scientifically literate.  Then again, the questions are quite easy.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Well, for those who doubt my knowldege of basic science, here is the screen cap of my results

 

 

[Jeric 46,848]

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

 

I watch Sci Show ... yay it helps. (actually am a science freak so there you are)

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

10/13

 

 

 

Not too shabby, since Science is far from my strong suite

[That Horse 41]

Me... Get... 13 bananas! 13 banananas!

[Bunnyhop123 194]

I guess 10 is okay?  For a 9th grader at least....

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Well, it is nice to know that the forums are doing pretty well so far.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

I got 12 out of 13 correct.

There's the possibility that some of the members cheated and used the magic machine we call Google.

 

I got 11/13 myself—guessed on two of those, though... heheh.

[paradoxical 1,735]

Bonus question (13/13) what does my flank mean?

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

12 / 13, not bad at all lmaool.

That's always a possibility.

 

But I trust most of the members here, so hopefully we'll see some accurate results.

[lincolnshirepony 527]

Sweet, 13/13. A couple I wasn't sure about. I guess my science education has served me well.

[A goat 323]

11 out of 13, still better than some kids in my science class.

[Callisto 1,876]

9/13. I'm stupider than most of you, as I suspected.

[Celtore 2,770]

13/13 and one of very few uses I think I'll ever have for my grade 11+12 chemistry classes...

[Woohoo 33,623]

13/13, I can't believe I got a perfect score, despite guessing on a couple of them!

[SparklingSquirrels 21,298]

I got 12/13. Most of the questions were pretty easy, but I mixed up the answers on one of them.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Got 10/13, but every question I got wrong I second-guessed the answer before I put it in, and my first guess before I put in the final answer was right for all of them. Guess I know the science somewhat, but can be a little forgetful on some things.

Guessing is perfectly acceptable, providing you aren't working with acetone peroxide. If that is the situation, please wear goggles and make sure your life insurance is paid up. O-o
