    Default Science Awareness Quiz

    Original post found here

    If you have a free moment, no more than a minute, please follow the link below and complete the short six question survey:

    No cheating! Be honest!
    Science Awareness Quiz

    Thank you kindly!

    Firstly, I have taken the liberty to quickly whip up an anonymous survey for you to take in order to get a feel for how science literate my audience is. If you have a free moment, no more than a minute, please follow the link below and complete the short six question survey:
    Be honest! No cheating, please.

    The quiz is a duplicate of one found in an article to which I will link at a later date, to prevent biasing. The article looked at the results of a recent survey completed on the phone with 1,002 adult respondents within the United States. The sample size is quite small and it is difficult to extend the results of the random survey to the entire United States population. Okay, so it might not be difficult, but I would hate to do it with the abysmal results.

    When enough responses are collected, I will compare to the US data and link to the original article for you guys to read.
    Results will be posted after enough responses have been collected at My Nook

    6/6 and that wasn't cheating. I was actually surprised by how short and easy that was.

    Sorry - I didn't want to join.

    But I'm pretty sure I got 6/6

    Interesting results, thanks for sharing that. Maybe you could do an even longer one?

    Also good to see that you're still around.

    Damn you, I would have been done school by now if it wasn't for CUPE 3903 going on strike. Highest paid union in Canada and they still go on strike ... but I blame both union and administration, both parties do not know how to manage, negotiate, and run a university.

    I got the freshwater question wrong. I thought there was far more freshwater than that.
