After the power to choose a man wants the power to erase. --Stephen Dunn
Depressing Pew Quiz quickly tests basic science knowledge then shows where you lie vs. an objective survey of the country as a whole.
The percentage correct among the public on some of the questions is shocking.

Axial tilt is the reason for the season.
Those weren't difficult at all, although I missed one relating to the earth's atmosphere. I wasn't 100% sure about that one and I won't google an answer to a quiz. If it's going to reveal my stupidity, have at it.

That's the one most people don't know.

Yes, I saw that and didn't feel quite as bad after that although I did smack my forehead a little.

I'm fascinated to see that women got fewer right answers then men on all but the two medical questions.

Me, too, though I was nervous about nitrogen.

I thought they were all pretty easy but my wife pointed out that I'm a science nerd. Guilty as charged.

100% for me, but also a science/tech geek here.

I don't think there's any shame in missing a couple, but I do think that most adults should know most of those.

80%-ish. I missed two.
Is anyone else brave enough to take the test Pincher posted?

I tried but it won't work. I tried it on Chrome and (ugh) IE both.

I tried it on my laptop and had the scrolling problem mentioned above. I tried it at work on IE 8 and it didn't display at all.

A meeeeeeean person. -- Calgal
I tried it yesterday after seeing several people post it on Facebook. Didn't have any trouble getting it to work (latest version of Chrome on Windows), but I don't think it's as accurate as it claims. I'm 44 and it said I was 31, and it thinks my 59-year-old wife is 40. The half-dozen or so friends who took it all got results that were 10-20 years below their actual age, too.

We could all be above average.

Reaction times are pretty tightly correlated with g.

Slate's Are You Smarter Than Quiz
This occurs each Friday and you are pitted against a Slate editor. It's fun and goofy and basically not a lot harder than Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

I do too -- it makes me feel smart. (Please note the level of difficulty above.)

All creatures great and small, my ass.
Missed the atmosphere one too. But I don't feel bad since the last science class I took was either botany or geology as a college freshman.
