A t the end of this message, you are asked a question.
Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.
Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.

This is a fun 'test'... AND kind of spooky at the same time! Give it a try, then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the 'test.'

Now - just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.

Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one..

You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind.

You'll be surprised.

Start:

How much is:
15 + 6











3 + 56



























89 + 2














12 + 53




























75 + 26

























25 + 52























63 + 32





























I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's! nearly over..


Come on, one more!

















123 + 5



































QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!


































Scroll further to the bottom!















A bit more.





You just thought about a red hammer , didn't you?


If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind.

98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.

If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.

Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you.

Post the colour and tool you thought of then we can see how crazy (or normal) we all are.

Mine was purple screwdriver.

I'm the bit between the 98 and 2% Laughing

I got a black hammer. Can't remember seeing a red hammer! Confused

I visualised red, then black and yellow pliers - which didn't fit, so settled for hammer.

Final outcome - red hammer

Is this slight weirdness striving to be normal?

I can't say I've ever seen a hammer with a red handle so I don't know how I would be expected to visualise one.

The reason I'm impressed with this is that my brain organises everything in a very visual way - like Windows ED! Anyway, each letter of the alphabet has a colour and the first letter of each word tends to lend its colour to the whole word.

Now, H is green. So 'hammer' is green. The other interesting thing is that I visualised black and yellow pliers - which is what I own, rather than the colour of the word 'pliers'. P is blue, therefore 'pliers' is blue. This shows that the word colour is independant of the actual object colour.

If my mind wasn't so burnt out I think we could have a pretty interesting conversation about this. unfortunately it is so I shall just say "interesting" for now.

This is like a narcissist's wet dream. Just log on to the site and sit around all day talking about yourself while dreaming of forming casual, one-sided relationships
