ARE YOU A SCATTERBRAIN?

One of the most ingenious tests for self-analysis is the
Proverbs Test developed by Prof. Donald R. Gorham of Baylor
University. Used professionally, it measures emotional
attitudes and vocational aptitudes, and is a key to
personality traits. With it Professor Gorham found he could
spot types such as the practical person, the scatterbrain,
the deeply moral person.
The complete test includes 40 proberbs. For each
proberb in this shorter version, check off the
interpretation that seems most logical. Keep in mind,
this is not a test in which you are wrong:

HERE'S A BRAIN TEASER FOR YOU

Can you find the sixteen books of the Bible?
Circle sixteen (16) books of the Bible as they appear in
the paragraph below. Watch out, this could be tricky!!!

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the
Bible. It was a LuLu. Kept people looking so hard for
facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a
Jam. Especially since the name of the books were not
capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers
of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be
a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will
be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require
Judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes
a minister to find one of them and there will be loud
lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she
brews a cup of tea. So she can concentrate better. See
how well you can compete. Relax now for there really
are sixteen names of the books of the Bible in this story.

(One preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes, but it
took him three weeks to find the sixteenth one!!!)
