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 scored better than WHAT PERCENT?!!! All of that (with the exception of the final question about fracking) is basic knowledge.....I don't understand how only 7% of the population has gotten every single question right...

I do totally find it hilarious that women beat out men on the two medical questions :lol:

I got all of them right (I almost missed one, but i went with my gut), but they were pretty simple questions. The fact that I scored above 93% of people in their other test kind of bothers me.

12 out of 13. Thought most of those were common knowledge. Kind of scary that I'm in an 8% range.
