    Default How much "common sense" do you have?

    http://www.scottcommonsense.com


    It is sponsored by Scott Tissue and Towels. Here's the interesting part from the article:

    CSPs are more likely to be women who do not work full time, suggesting to Sternberg that they tend to be women who run households. (Maybe doing laundry makes you smarter.)
    Strange that the survey results most highly suck up to the demographic group most likely to make the decision to purchase their stuff.

    Here's the whole article if you are interested:

    http://www.sacbee.com/content/lifest...11853261c.html
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    i took the quiz and it said that i scored pretty highly....strange. i think i have common sense, but don't apply it in all circumstances, leading to some pretty stupid actions on my part. ah well. but i do know how to get things done. most of the time

    nice quiz silverback

    Pretty cool, SB! I did pretty well.


    Self Sense ~ 20

    You excel at your “self sense." You’ve got exceptional common sense in understanding the topic you know best – you! You know yourself well enough that whatever you do, you usually do it well! Through this enhanced Self Sense, you determine in a flash what works or doesn’t and, if necessary, you change course to smooth the way. You lead with your best common-sense foot forward. And, when it’s up to you, you manage your home, your family and your work life better than most.

    Relationship Sense ~ 40

    Some people just “get� other people. That’s you! You’re best at understanding what makes other people tick. This type of common sense is common for those who are successful in dealing with other people … from co-workers, to neighbors and, of course, your family! If a parent, you have an uncanny “sixth sense� about why your kids are behaving (or not behaving!). At work, you know ahead of time how your co-workers or boss will react to you. This kind of common sense allows you to get ahead and achieve your person-to-person goals. Interpersonal common sense comes naturally to you. And, this elevated Group Sense helps you form strong relationships with other people, making you their “go-to� person for insights on everyday challenges.

    Sense of Action ~ 40

    Some people just recognize how to get it done. That’s you! You set a goal and know how to get it done. No doubt about it, your greatest common-sense strength is Sense in Action. It means you’re stellar at determining the best way to make things happen and to simplify those everyday tasks. Tasks at home? You run a tight household. When at work? You lead the project and team to success. You use your task-management know-how to make things run smoothly and to make sure nothing gets left behind in the rush.

    That's definitely weird. I wonder how they ended up in the same rating category? Maybe they only have a few or something... I searched the site to see if they had a "rating range", but there's nuffin

    39, 22, 39 . A rather large rack, with a tight waist, and big booty. Oh wait, we're talking about test scores.

    I got-
    42 self sense
    21 relationship sense
    37 sense of action

    I'm surprised my relationship sense is on the low side- something to work on. The survey said my self-sense dominates.
    Cool survey!

    33, 18, 47 - but my description is the same as Rhi's, lol. I think they just put the quiz up to stroke your ego so you'll post a tip on their site, kind of like how all horoscopes "speak" to people
    ...and the day came, when the risk it took to remain closed in a bud became worse than the risk it took to blossom.
