Fyi, The interpretation of the score is added. Welcome to check your programming knowledge level: http://www.phparch.cn/index.php/php/34-php-basics/202-the-data-literacy-test :)

The answer as I see it is 27. While we both agree that "elongated stream," "retroactive synapse," and "value chain" are false computer terms, there are three that you apparently don't know. Would you care point those out so we can discuss them? This reminds me of a survey I conducted in the late 80's where I had section of computer terms for people to indicate what was familiar, or not. The answer of each was either "I heard of it", "I know it", or "Huh?" I used that answer to test the "truth" of the person taking the survey. Interesting enough, I found the ratio of "truth" was equally spread between all age groups. In other words, the 20-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60 age groups all had the same ratio of people reporting a false term as "I know it."
