Pretty old thing, however very amazing for those who take this test for the first time.

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


This is a test.
Give it a try, then post here 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 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.
 
woo im part of the 2% :D that was really close though :eek:
but I thought of a blue hammer!!
 
OMG, i remember doing this YEARSSSSSS ago..

I actually thought of a red hammer too.

But I didn't know that this was the exact same test.

I ANSWERED a yellow screwdriver.. :lol: Random much?
 
I thought of a black hammer. Why is hammer such a common choice?
 
So funny, I thought of a purple wrench! I bet we have lots of creative minds on this forum! :)
 
The math sequence of question is needed to keep the associative part of your brain inactive, then suddenly you are asked to name a tool and a color. By culture the majority of people has a subconscious knowledge that associates a hammer to the concept of tool, and red to the concept of color. A very simple answer to a shocking test! We are all the same, after all! Note that this test works in any language where culturally those items are the predominant for those concepts (a lumberjack or a farmer may not answer "hammer" as they are more exposed to different tools).


found that on wikianswers
 
Yeah well looks like its split into 98% / 2% when only one person I think have said "Red Hammer" in this thread... lol
