How-long a list of Chores we can do + how well we perform these Chores testifies to our Cognitive Intelligence and our support-of our traditional Political + Economic + Cultural Heritage. Recognizing-the-Ramifications of our Chores on our Lifestyle + Civility + Equitability -- in light of America’s current Industrial Evolution -- defines our Ambient Intelligence.
Adapting to the-Realities of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) + Augmented Reality during the Age of Automation testifies to our Intellectual Acuity and How-Smart we are. Increasing our Intellectual Acuity can-make-us Happier with our Situation and Circumstance + Our Relationships + Our Options + Opportunities + Our Community and Our Country.

To-Be or Not-To-Be” is a 405-year-old personal question with non-Task-oriented or
Pedagogue-dictated answers.
→ Does To-Be what we want To-Be contradict what someone else wants us To-Be?
Demands We-Be? Does this apply to you?
→ To-Be Smart enough To-Be-You -- legally, morally, constructively, productively + independently -- starts by subscribing-to Empirical- or Science- or Principle-based “Truths” + comprehending their potential Ramifications and Consequences by making-Connections prompted by Artificial Intelligence ('A.I.). A.I.= Special Information that builds Ambient Intelligence, generates Intellectual Acuity and makes us noticeably Smarter.

The “How Smart Am-i?”Test canbe a Plan-B for Americans facing the impact of A.I. and the Age of Automation
We have developed a Test that we Humans can-use to find out how Smart we are.
This is not an I.Q. Test. I.Q. Tests measure our Cognitive Intelligence as manifested in our Memorization Skills = Rote & Regurgitation.
A Smart Test measures how well we can apply/use the information that we have acquired to expand our Options and Opportunities => The Art of Being-SmarterTM (Obviously + Congenially + Collaboratively)
Our "How Smart Am-I?" Test is a Can-Do Test that has 16 performance levels (Connections, aka “Dots”) and can have a 3% error factor.
How many Connections can you make? •Level #1 = 1-6 Dots • Level #2 = 7-12 Dots •Level #3 = 13-16 Dots (out of 32 Possible Dots) (SeeComp-Scale on Retrac.com’s Intellectual Acuity Chart.)

To understand why the "Art of Being-Smarter" works and U.S. K-12-16-20 Schooling doesn't, you need to be familiar with 2 things: • TheNorth Korean POW Separation Program: 7,000 U.S. POWs - no escapes - first time in history (40% died in Captivity) •Roger Sperry, Cal Tech, and his 1981 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology (Responsibilities of Left-Right sides of Cerebral Cortex)
