The Do You Have Common Sense Test

1. The saying goes, "Why is it called common sense if it is so uncommon?" Are you curious how your sensibility stacks up versus the common man (or woman)? Here is a convenient little test to see if there really is such a thing as common sense lurking out there.
   
   
   How to take this test:
   
   This is very important. Don't think too hard about your answers. This isn't a logic or knowledge test per se. It's about your initial gut feeling and what you know of the world as society tells you.
   
   For example, a question asked 1000 years ago about the Earth being flat would have a positive common sense score for the answer of NO. Common sense doesn't always mean it's the right answer! So don't worry about getting questions "right"; there's only common answers in this test.
   
   If you really want to just look good and score high, take it a second time and think about every answer. But otherwise, just go with your gut answer.
