Is there a test for basic common sense?  

Yes, but the test is called the "Common Basic Sense" test, sometimes colloquially called the Common BS test.  It is administered frequently on this forum.  Don't worry.  You passed.

My dad used to say that some people "did not have enough common sense to pour piss out of a boot".

As far as IQ goes, I believe there is different kinds of intelligence. A so called intelligent western person would not survive many days in the djungle but the "unintelligent" bushpeople do without problems.

When I worked in a warehouse in Chicago I was the only non-black, non-hispanic there. We talked about this a bit and I learned from the others that there is intelligence - such as I had a little while attending university - and there is "smarts," or "street smarts" as they called it. I learned a lot from those guys that I still carry with me today, possibly more than I did from many of my "higher learning" text books and PHD professors.
