Can You Pass The Alexander Lie Test?

by Jeremy Chance

To qualify for the Alexander lie test you must travel in cars (or buses/taxis), use a smart phone (or iPad/computer) and know about Alexander's discovery.

If you this true for you (?) then take the test:

1. Do you want to keep travelling in a car?
