ECO-SENSORY IQ COMPLETION PAGE
"There is no known, sustainable, substitute for Nature, the real thing and its eons of intelligent, life supportive, creation experience. Each artificial substitute we create falls short of nature's balanced perfection, thus producing our pollution, garbage and relationship conflicts."
"99.9% of our thinking is disconnected from nature. This is like spending only 12 hours per lifetime learning how to read and write and then expecting to do it adedquately."
-Project NatureConnect
A-B-C: The Three Key Eco-Sensory Intelligence Questions
A. "We cannot win this battle to save species and environments without forging an emotional bond between ourselves and nature as well - for we will not fight to save what we do not love."
...........- Stephen Jay Gould1 .........2.........3.........4.........5.........6..........7.........8..........9.........10.
disagree..........................so partially agree...........................fffully agree
B. "Apathy is the greatest evil of all,"
...........- Helen Keller1 .........2.........3.........4.........5.........6..........7.........8..........9.........10.
disagree..........................so partially agree...........................fffully agree
C. "When we are conscious of them, our natural attraction bonds (webstrings) enable our thinking to safely and intelligently dissolve the apathy and fear that keep us in denial and produce our unsolveable personal and environmental problems."
...........- Project NatureConnectIn our nature disconnected lives, part of our true nature is missing. We work, play, think and dream halfheartedly. If you have a high Eco IQ, are you satisfied that you are engaged in using it to its best advantage for yourself and Earth? As in A, above, are you, to your full potential, involved in a process that helps people feelingly enjoy our inherent emotional bonds with nature and each other? These bonds are natural attraction loves that directly connect us, in balance, to people and the environment. What score would Mother Nature give you with respect to you, in reality, rejuvenating these bonds in yourself and others?

ECO-SENSORY IQ DETERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. On your answer sheet, total your Section average page scores and divide that total by the number of pages you completed. This is your RAW SCORE
2. Because it is not intelligent to not use your Eco IQ to its best advantage, multiply your score in "C" above with your page score total Raw Score. This is your ADJUSTED SCORE.
3. Add a percentage sign to your adjusted score. That percentage represents the percentage of your inherent ecosensory intelligence that you presently use to think and build relationships. It is your ECO-SENSORY IQ
The Bewilderment Factor
Be-wil-der-ed: to detrimentally be separated from wilderness.
As previously mentioned, during 99.9% of our "normal" lives our mentality is closted from nature. This deeply teaches our thinking not to be in tune with the natural environment. Like a fish removed from water, our psyche emotionally gasps to survive. With respect to living in balance, we become isolated and feel bewildered. For this reason most people believe the two statements below are FALSE even though they are TRUE. Do you think they are FALSE?.
1. ( .) TRUE ...( .) FALSE: Because our psychological disconnection from nature produces unsolveable problems, genuinely reconnecting our psyche with nature restores it and helps us solve these problems.
2. ( .) TRUE ...( .) FALSE: There are eight simple Natural System Thinking Process sensory activities and readings that enable anybody to genuinely reconnect with nature. These activities help us help ourselves and others increase our Eco-IQ mentality. They help thinking which is detrimental become environmental.
The results of our online Orientation Course, show both statements are true. To act intelligently, shouldn't we include these activities in every aspect of our lives and civilization?
3. Are you bewildered? It is not intelligent to ecologically know the right thing to do and then not do it. This is very bewildering when you are immersed in a society where knowledgeably acting destructively to nature is the norm. It leads you think your C score is much higher than it would be if the global life community determined it. For example, how high can a person's C score be if they are involved with, or support contemporary thinking as described by Pulitzer Prize winner Maureen Dowd.
4. Check out your bewilderment factor.
Choose any number from one to twelve except five.
Now write down or remember the number you picked.
For further considerations about this test, its origins and significance, visit the test preface page if you have not already done so. At the far bottom of the preface page you will find a bewildering response to the number you picked. We think you picked seven.
5. If you want to increase your scores and use your Eco IQ to help solve the problems we face personally and globally, consider enrolling in the online, 3-week Natural System Thinking Process (NSTP) Orientation Course.
6. Does this make sense to you?
We, and all of Nature are built of attraction bonds. In us, at least 53 of these bonds register emotionally and spiritually, as biophilia, a conscious love of nature that our extremely nature disconnected life deteriorates.
To preserve species, human dignity and environments we need a readily available process, a scientific tool that enables us to rejuvenate our love of nature -for we don't treasure what we don't love. A nature reconnecting, science and psychology, The Natural Systems Thinking Process offers that tool.
"We have dramatically increased our program's effectiveness by adding the Natural Systems Thinking Process to it. It enables our participants to connect with their sensory origins in nature and use that peaceful power to improve their relationships with self, society and the environment. "
- James Rowe, Director, Outward Bound School, Costa Rica
"The results of using the Natural Systems Thinking Process were even happier, more practical and lasting than those for participants in the "Survivor" TV shows. We did not compete for a million dollars but what wealth we gained! Using local natural areas, we learned how to sustainably live in supportive balance with each other and the environment. We were all winners, as will be those with whom we share the nature reconnecting process."
- Carol Biggs, Counselor-Naturalist, Juneau, Alaska
