common sense test

[Matt]

Its nearly impossible for a normal person to get 20
The average person only gets 7 right.

This is based on U.S. info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how little most of us really see!

There are 25 questions about things we see every day or have
known about all our lives. How many can you get right?
These little simple questions are harder than you think-- it just shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace
things of life.

Put your thinking caps on. No cheating! No looking around! No
getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or computer!

Can you beat 20?? It is nearly impossible for any normal person to get higher than a 20 (The average is 7). Write down your answers and check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the questions.

REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! BE HONEST!!! That means no looking at your phone or anything on your desk...


LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. - If not, just
have fun!

I got these wrong:

#4
#9
#12 (didn't even know what that kinda tv was untill I saw the answer, i'm not that old )
#18
#19

[Mauser 98K]

some of these have no right or wrong answer,
on the fan rotation it depends on the manufacturer and what it is for.
and the matches is it a standard book matches kitchen matches, or just plain ol stick matches.
on the pencile is it a standard carpenters pencil, a standard #2 pencile, etc
on the merry-go-round is it 1 of the ones at the amusement park or is it the kind that is in a school playground.
some test arnt desined to take into account sertain aspects of veriety of objects, and it also doesnt take into account if the person has ever seen thes objects b4.
common sense would take into account that the question is irrelevent to the logic of life, and that that logic being that there is a diffrent answer to all questions asked, and that the answer will be diffrent to each person, so there can be no definate winner of such a questionaire.
was this came out by some1 with a PHD lol?
still a good test thoe.

[Steve]

isn't this a general knowledge test rather than a common sense test?

[D STROYER]

yeah thats what i thought, knowing the seven dwarves(well at least i think thats who they were) doesnt seem to fit in to common sense, unless everyone knows them but me.
