I tried them out on a dozen different people of different ages, educational attainment etc. The results: a nine-year-old did better than a 25 year old with good science GCSEs (from the late 90s). Apart from that, it was impossible to tell the difference between those who had science qualifications and those who had not, with two notable exceptions: in a sample which included nine-year-olds and eighty-year-olds with no GCSEs in anything at all, the two qualified scientists who had been schooled in the 60s and graduated in the 70s came bottom of the class. It would be funny if it wasn't that many of those who left school in the 80s and 90s are now running the show. And those who are leaving school now will soon be taking their place. Try it out for yourself.
