Common Sense - Not just for smart people


While it was previously believed that common sense could belong only to those with an IQ of 110 or higher it was recently discovered in a research study in Southern Nebraska that those registering an IQ of  110 or lower also possessed a capacity for common sense. It was even hypothesized that some mammals such as monkeys or horses may posess this ability.

This raises many question as to why such a large portion of the population have zero to minimal amounts of common sense.  A study in Otowa, CA beginning early 2010 plans to find the answer to this question.
