The purpose of today's pop quiz was to help you maintain a working command of some basic psychological concepts, to develop an everyday appreciation of your environment, to expand your awareness of history and current events, and to have a little fun. If you are curious about Question No.5, I included it because of my personal emphasis on memorizing the names of people I meet. It is a habit that carried over into a game. (Written 08/16/04)
