My dear DUers, are you "abnormal"? I'm a 2%er and proud of it!
Edited on Wed May-26-04 09:03 PM by saywhat
Take this test and see! (The test was forwarded to me from a friend who had it forwarded to her from a friend, who had it forwarded from a friend.)

Here's the test:

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 by the results...

Ready,
Go....

How much is:


15+6


3+56


89+2


12+53


75+26


25+52


63+32


Come on, one more...


123+5


QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!








Scroll further to the bottom...

A bit more...
















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

If this is not the case, you among 2% of people who have a
"different" if not "abnormal" mind. 98% of those tested 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 it to everyone, including the person that sent it to you

25. Who knows! I thought it was funny and interesting.
Never hurts to have a little diversion from such momentous matters as those facing US now.

22. LOL I was a "yellow screwdriver" so I am a 2%er, ....
not sure whether that is "good" or "bad" or what the hell it is. I am going to assume that means "one who doesn't accept the norm", lol.

31. Blue hammer here
I seperated the tool from the color. I thought of a tool then a color...I didn't put it together. I wonder if the results would be different if they put "color" then "tool". The answer is the reverse of the question.

My son is a 2% also. He got red monkey wrench. :-)

45. what if you thought of a the tool and the color separately ?
you said

QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!

so there was a drill for a tool

and a color

Blue.

the drill happened to be black and silver

is the color of the drill supposed to be " the " color or is the color separate ?

BTW you don't really believe that 98% of the respondents actually say a red hammer, do you ?
