. what knowledge is important
. why do people strive for knowledge
. who decides what knowledge is important
. does social appearance effect smartness?
. I choose this research question because I wear clothes that are the trend these days and I wanted to know if it does affect smartness

3. Quetzalkoatl – Precious Knowledge – Literature Review
. In the old times scientists thought that the bigger the head the bigger the brain
. Galton believed that intelligence runs in families
- scientists tried to prove that head shapes have to do with smartness
- Binet created the test which is known as the IQ test
- Stereotype threat is when told a negative comment about a group until that comment comes true to ones self
- Today's intelligence is focused on testing

4. Huiztlilopochtli – The will to act
Does social appearance have to deal with smartness?
I did my research with David Umada and we went around the mall asking questions about who was smarter a guy with a hoodie or the guy with the tie?
37 out of 50 said the guy with the tie the other 13 (do the math) picked the guy with the hoodie

5. Xipe Totek - Transformation
Since that some people picked the hooded guy, this made me confused. I think that the people who picked him thought it was a trick or game. It's like pick the “unexpected” is what they thought
