INTRODUCTION
Many people are attracted to
visit this webpage because they have a hidden but high ecological
IQ. Often they neither know how to validate this intelligence
nor how to fully put it to work for themselves and society.
Many of us
have been slighted for sharing their intelligent thoughts and
feelings about nature. Deep inside they sometimes consider themselves
different or strange because of how they intuitively think and
feel. The preface to this
IQ test explores this phenomenon. If this topic is of interest
to you, you will find valuable information there. Visit the preface now then return here.
To discover how much of your
ecological intelligence is intact, take the Eco-Sensory IQ Test.
It consists of 70 questions but you can optionally get a general
reading after the first 20 questions. You will, however, learn
a great deal from each of the questions as each comes from a
different perspective.
The Test will help you support
and put your natural genius to work for the benefit of yourself
and the global life community. A special feature of this IQ test
is that as you take it you will automatically increase your intelligence.
This IQ Test results from the
observation that the anti-nature programming and prejudice we
receive from our nature disconnected society produces our greatest troubles.
The heart of our unsolvable problems is psychological.
We are in denial.
We deny
that we are addicted to living out a destructive story.
We seldom understand that our society rewards us for learning:
"To survive we must conquer, exploit and subdue nature within
and around us"
"It is difficult to get
people to understand something when their salary depends upon
them not understanding it."
- Upton Sinclair
A SUMMARY STATEMENT OF THE
PREFACE MATERIAL:
Nature is intelligent. People
are part of nature and vice versa. We inherit nature's intelligence;
it is biologically and psychologically in us. Our civilization
conditions us to abusively conquer nature in the environment
and people. However, throughout history, in some people our natural
intelligence has survived this abuse and expressed itself.

INSTRUCTIONS

of paper with the numbers 0-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc. written in 7
columns covering 69 questions.
2. Read, in order, the 70 quotes
and statements on the following linked pages.
3. Note the length of time
the message of some statements has been known to our society.
4. Recognize that the message
of each statement that you understand exists somewhere within
your cultural or natural heritage, otherwise you would not be
able to understand it.
5, Signify on the indicator
that accompanies each statement, the extent of agreement you
think/feel/have for the statement. Place this number next to
the question number on your answer sheet.
Here is a sample question
and responder:
It is a fact of life that our
senses, feelings and emotions are facts of life. They are as
much a part of nature and our nature as is the land, sea and
air. For example: the fact that we experience the sensation of
thirst is as real and true as water itself.
