...then you can answer these questions/ follow the instructions WITHOUT looking anywhere - except your own head - for answers:
1. true or false: alzheimer's disease is a natural condition of forgetfulness that you may get as you age.
2. cleanliness is next to godliness. what is next to godliness?
3. true or false: tolerance is a sign of true intelligence while arrogance is a sign of insecurity.
4. right now, point to where south is.
^_^ the questions are easy, but a lot of people still fumble with these things. it does not mean they're not smart. hehe. but it would be interesting to know how many people actually believe they know more than most.
are you one of those people? or do you believe in the saying, "to acknowledge that you do not know anything is the first sign of wisdom?"
who is willing to admit they know more than most? it's your time to speak out. ^_^

I don't really know if I know more than most people. What I know is that I believe on my answers. They might not be the best, but its the best that I can give. ^_^
1. False. I don't think all old people gets to acquire this disease.
2. Cleanliness still. ^_^
3. False. Umm.. I really don't know to explain my answer. LOL! Tolerance for me doesn't mean having greater intelligence. It's only a chance that you can bear with it more than others. Arrogance came because others are too timid. Haha!
4. *points SOUTH* LOL! Did you see where I pointed?

Actually, I enjoyed answering those questions. ^_^ I think the quotation is more of being humble inspite of all the talents and intelligence you have. Most of the people that claimed to be smarter than most people are proud beings. Who wouldn't be if you know that you ARE that good? They just want to showcase what they have. For me, its not really bad. But then, there should be a limit for it. It's always easy to say that you're right. The hardest part is to admit that you've made a mistake. ^_^

The first one is false i think not completely false but I think Alzheimer's goes beyond mere forgetfulness.
2 cleanliness would be a good guess I don't know what else christliness?
3 sounds true
4.
That's easy i live on north market street so south should be toward south market street.
I don't really think I'm smarter than most but i'm pretty good at taking test.

"The wise man says nothing, the fool speaks and reveals he is a fool", so paraphrasing the old saying.
I like tests like this, but I admit I always fail them lol.
