Test your Science IQ. I only missed one. How well do you do?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I missed 2. Buh! 🙁
Grrr…I hate it when I miss one I know! I’m glad I have my degree already. No more science!!! I like the words
I love any kind of IQ tests. I knew that all of those college chem classes and that nuclear engineering training would come in handy some day! (I got them all right).
I was pretty impressed with the ages listed by some of the questions; there were some hard ones there!
I got all of them right (thus destroying, once and for all, any stereotypes about English folks’ alleged aversion to science…um, right?), but I have to admit that nuclear decay question was really only a semi-educated (and all lucky) guess.
wooHOO i swept it! gotta love putting that BS to good use.
Okay, I missed the one about the sun appearing larger. But here’s the thing – I thought since they didn’t specify what HEMISPHERE they were measuring from, that it was a trick question about the axis. So I was kinda right. I over-thought.
Kris, I got the same one wrong as you. It’s been bugging me too, because I initially clicked on the right answer, then second guessed myself. Not that I’m hung up on getting a good score on a test. Nope, not me, no way…
It’s okay. Let’s start a Special People’s Club for Those Who Over-Think Meaningless IQ Test Questions and Are Therefore Smarter Than Those Who Just Regurgitate The Correct Answer. You with me? We can mock everybody else! 🙂
