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.

The analysis of the findings from the poll can be found in the full report. (No peeking! If you are going to take the quiz, do it first before reading the analysis.)

You scored better than 85% of the public, below 7% and the same as 8%.

Science has been a hobby for me for many years. It was my favorite class since grade school, and I've chosen a career in medicine that I've been at for 30 years. I am quite well versed in all of the sciences.

That was basic information. I sit around and study theoretical sciences most of the day.

Site was overloaded, so it didn't give me a score. Simple questions though. If I got one wrong, it was a brain fart.
