Are you scientifically literate? A quiz.

Too bad it costs about 100 ad impressions to complete this quiz.

I'm afraid the first question was a general-knowledge question, which led me (perhaps unfairly?) to write the rest of the test off as nothing more than a specialised knowledge quiz.<p>I don't suppose it went into scientific method, controlled experiments, philosophy of science, etc.?<p>If not, then it could hardly be called a scientific literacy quiz, any more than a random series of questions about specific APIs is a programming interview.

Fun quiz, but the user interface is terrible. Too many ads, and showing each question again after you answer it is obnoxious.

I missed four and I half-guessed on three questions, though I was able to rule out many impossible answers even on those. I saw two lucky guesses and three brain farts, so it mostly evened out. Without the silly mistakes I could have improved my score to 49/50.<p>Being able to recite at least the first ten or so elements from memory is rather useful on this quiz. And that last question is a bit out of place, being more of a history question than one of science. Sure, I got it right because I knew it had to be a trap, but even so.

The reloading of the page wouldn't be so bad if not for the gazillion social sharing widgets. Those things really slow down page loads.<p>I'm going to go install an extension that blocks those.

Better title: How many ads are you willing to look at? A test.

I got impatient after 14, I don't feel any better about myself for having got the first 14 right though.

Good exercise if you want to join who wants to be a millionaire. I got 32 out of 50 for the record.

Wow. Pageview bait. Ugh.
