11 because I mark one incorrect which I knew the answer..
Interesting that about half the people scored 8 or less. However, many people are simply not that interested in science and pursue non-science related careers. That doesn't mean their not intelligent. They are just not interested in science. One of the smartest people I know would not do well on this test.

Got the same score as you, and I'm a girl. Actually knew the correct answer to the two I missed, damn it! Multiple choice and true/false questions have never been my forte, anyway. Give me an essay question and I'll shine every time. Oh, and Science isn't an area of interest for me.

Science Knowledge Quiz

Those were incredibly easy questions.

 

[TheOldSchool]

I'm so good at science and technology, I got 13 right.

To quote a GOP Congressman: "Liar!"

I once spent 20 minutes taking the Mensa online test. At the end of it, you find out they'll only email your results to an email address you have to give them. I declined.

So, the real intelligence test with the Mensa test concerns whether you fall for the email-harvesting scam part of it.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Wow! Some of us/you must be geniuses

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

If somebody got less than any of you would you consider yourself more knowledgeable in science?

Based on a trivial questionnaire?

Nope!

The knowledge is that quiz was not particularly deep. It was mostly common sense IMO.

Agreed.

I have spent decades reading old school hard sci fi, AND have a degree with some physics involved.

Depending on the author, old school sci fi had a lot of real science in it.

At least as it was understood at the time.
