  1. You got 8 out of 10 right! . Great quiz. If I keep taking your quizzes, I might find myself enrolled in a nearby yoga class soon…your post and quizzes are so compelling 🙂

  2. I was reading this out loud, my son was behind me taking the test with me. I couldn’t get through it I was cracking up so bad. This was excellent and very informative while being hilarious. I loved it. Great quiz as always. I got 8 correct.

    • I don’t think it’s generally associated with increased intelligence but it can definitely help you develop better concentration and focus which would help academically.

      Hope that answers your question!
