already have years of your own human experience of thinking, choosing, and behaving to reflect on (not to mention all the time you have spent observing others around you live, breathe, think, choose, and behave).\n<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, given the diversity of experience across learners who might take this course, it will be useful for you to begin by taking the following general psychology knowledge quiz to see just how much your experience has translated into accurate psychological knowledge.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Please mark each of the following statements as either \u201cTrue\u201d or
