The Common Sense Test. What’s your CSQ Score?

High CSQ Individuals are Leaders

While high scorers on IQ and EQ tests (Intellectual and Emotional Quotient tests) can be Presidents or Serial Killers, a high CSQ individual is a leader.
Want to understand what your Common Sense Quotient score is?

Questions and answers for the test are composed by Edward Tilley, the Founding Father of Civic Science, curator of the WAOH Pubic Civics Library, World at our Hands, and probably the leading philosopher of our age.

What is Civics?

Civics is the study of Civilization.

Civics is supposed to be taught in our Universities – in faculties of Economics, Law, Business, Finance/Investment, Government, Education, and Social Studies – but today’s university curricula create only Great Depressions. Indoctrination of harmful ideologies like tactical Wealth Theory, Female Equality, Right/Left Theory, and Gender Theory, replaces education alongside a dozen other harmful ideology-based indoctrinations and secular religions.

CSQ’s Lead Researcher Edward Tilley saw that no science (reality and education) was taught in Civics faculties in the West any longer, and that the consequence of that shortfall was the graduation of students who would go on to harm our societies through their credentialed indoctrination, for their entire lives and careers. Edward built a new STEM-based science in civics – Transition Economics, 10 important books, a scientific update of our oldest Civics textbook – the Bible, the TASK University Ranking report, and then he applied this scientific rigour to.

• Transition Economics – Edward founded the first STEM-based Civic Science Transition Economics
• WAOH – He founded the WAOH Public Civics Library, the world’s largest context-validated econometric library of Truth and Reality in Civics based on evidence in 220 countries
• The Bible – authored the first scientific update of the Bible in 1,700 years, because the Bible is a Civics textbook. See The Book – The Scientific Update of the Bible and Civic Science Book of Knowledge
• Civic Leadership Faculties – He mandated Civic Leadership Faculties designed to prevent indoctrination of harmful ideology and theory, by performance managing all Civic and Scientific Societies Programmes so that every university can performance manage its academic curricula and ensure it advances both its country and humanity, and prevents harmful ideology and indoctrination
• Transition Engineering – Edward authored two important engineering plans for World Peace and the 100 Year Road Map to human rights and prosperity in every nation
• Education Reform – CSQ Research’s Education Reforms removed 50-years of harmful ideology indoctrinations from our universities, businesses, and collapsing government and democratic political systems
• MEMS Double Your Economy Challenge – He continues today to build next-generation A.I. and Machine Learning Data Science, Tools, and STEM training methods that make civic science fun and simple to learn and use
• World Peace – Edward’s scientific approach doubles economies and advances humanity reliably – using a probability-guaranteed, validated quantitative method

The Adoption of Civic Science

Einstein, Bill James, Alan Turing, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) all experienced pushback in the face of new science. The self-appointed “experts” and decision makers of an era (the “Salieris”), are reliably slow to adopt change that invalidates their own work, and will rigorously oppose new science that proves their life’s work is folly – as we’ve seen in Western Universities now since the 1980s.

• Einstein‘s e=mc2 sat for 20-years unrecognized(from 1905 to 1925),
• Bill James‘ Sabermetrics was developed in 1980 and only first implemented in 2003,
• Alan Turing – His invention of the first electro-mechanical computer was almost halted by army administrators, and he was later chemically castrated after fairly winning the war for his country
• FDR – Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the greatest economy and turnaround in history, and yet is still cast negatively by historical revisionists to this day
