Many book smart people pride themselves on having had a good education and/or being well-read, possessing knowledge that span a wide range of subjects. However, it is equally important to be "street-smart", and have a good grasp on common sense. It's an innate skill that some are born with and some just need to develop over time.
Even if you have not had a good education, you can still be intelligent. Conversely, having a high level of education doesn't necessarily lead to someone having an exceptionally high IQ. Someone who is not necessarily book smart, may be more intelligent than another who's been privileged to get a good education in life.
In this tricky quiz, some questions are designed to test how much common sense you possess. Pass the quiz and you can confirm that you are logical and less gullible than the general population! If you don't do too well, then it's time for you to rethink your ways and brush up on your street smarts.
