I found this on another site and found it interesting. I am in the 98%. Just try it. Post if you are in the 98% or 2%.

NOTE: This is freaky.....you have got to try it!



At 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.
 
dang

I thought of an Orange Gimlet


I guess it helps that I've seen this one before :)
 
I thought of red wrench. I think it's just that you're suppose to be thinking fast and when asked a color red quickly comes to mind since it's short and is something talked about a lot because of traffic and other important signs involving red to get your attention, then the hammer is just a commonly known tool and probably talked about most among the general public.
 
I thought of a Black Wrench. IF you're looking for normal people turbobuick owners are not the folks. :wink:
 
Orange wrench.

The original study must have been done in a red hammer factory as the 98%/2% figure is bogus. The probability is virtually nil that you would have 15 out of 16 pick other than a red hammer if those percentages were correct.
