I'm slightly disturbed that women consistently ranked lower than men. I wonder if the educational demographics were split equally (the same number of college educated men and women). I doubt it since they were randomly selected.

I'm not surprised; women don't go into the STEM fields as often as men do, unfortunately

12/13 and I'm the least sciency person I know. Now I'm going to make my husby take this test tonight, haha.

The age trends are really interesting, too. Love that it's not linear--in some categories younger people scored better, in other categories older people scored better.
Education was very linear one very question--more educated means more right answers.
men scored higher than woman on all but 2 questions. And the 2 questions were about a similar topic.

@blackbird: I know but I feel like a random sampling isn't probably accurate either.
I got 13/13. One where women outscored men on was the antibiotics question but perhaps that links to being a primary caregiver??

I got 12/13. I got the "fracking" one wrong. I thought I knew the answer but obviously not.

I got 13/13. @pui: I would have gotten that answer wrong too, but I watched Promised Land not too long ago, haha.
I'll have to have my husband take it and see how he does.

I got the earth's atmosphere question wrong and felt totally dumb to not know that--but it made me feel better to see it was the questions most missed, hehe
