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.

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

I'm a two-percenter.

Two-percenter here. Blue and wrench

2% blue pry bar

You guys had something blue...interesting. I pictured a Dewalt recipricating saw...in yellow.

blue hammer

+1 on the blue hammer --- another 2%'er

well... aint we all a special bunch

Wife, adult son, and I are all 98%ers. Friend said a blue auger, but he stopped and thought about it first and is the type who would not respond with his first thought, so I'm discounting him. I will hijack his class of fifth-graders next week and see what that age group does with it.

Talk about being a little of both. I was a purple hammer.

blue hammer... always been a little different

Red Speed Square

Ran it past about 35 fifth graders yesterday. Only 4 were red hammers. One out of about a dozen sixth graders was. I wonder if there is something about age involved.

We were 25% red hammers here. I doubt it could be 98% ever.

stumpy

Blue Screwdriver

You might get a greater than random amount of red hammers, but I have to doubt 98%.

That was a funny question at the end, my thought was color olive, and tool was rifle........

red hammer here, thats pretty cool

Black Rifle. I can't believe I'm the only one who thought of that!

Blue hammer

Yellow Dewalt jigsaw

Red hammer here.....

black hammer

Blue hammer. Fun quiz but I don't really need a test to tell me that I'm odd.

yellow sidegrinder I was useing my DeWalt about an hour ago.

red screwdriver, why would anyone think of anything else?

chartreuse flame thrower...guess that makes me a 2%er?

Green hammer. Guess we hunters are just different. Wonder what % of the population are hunters -2%?

2%'er I was red crowbar. Don't know why either.

2%'ers here!! Iwas a red crowbar & the wife was a BLACK wrench. No, we don't know why either.

Tan Hammer??

Blue Pliers.

So far 728 views, and 31 responses. Most of the responses have been of the 2% variety. Although a few of them have thought Red Hammer. That constitutes less than 5% of the total views. I wonder how many of the total views are thinking of the Red Hammer? I'm betting a larger portion, but that's merely speculation on my part. Obviously some being repeat viewers.

Interesting.


Jay

Blue drill.

I said blue hammer too

Must be something about the shooting sports and blue hammers(that was my answer as well)

I'm wondering if the responses aren't a bit tainted by the responders being to some degree alerted to what is going on. Not saying that they are consciously trying to alter the outcome, but rather that realizing that something is afoot, the subconsious causes a bit more thinking to kick in before a response is formulated. Just a theory.

Blue hammer was the first thing I thought.

red shovel. I didn't know what was going on ahead of time --- I never do.

Blue Hammer for me as well.

2% Red shovel

blue hammer

Blue cresent wrench

I did yellow hammer and the wife did a blue hammer. Does this mean we're not sheeple?

I said red hammer. I dont know how these things work, they always baffle me There must be a way to beat this quiz, but so far ive been unsuccessful. The last 5 times I took it, I said red hammer I will not quit! Ill keep trying til I beat it..........

Blue Hammer

(I had just read the cowboy boots joke, so my puritanical superego refused to make that association)




... AXE

Yellow, Sennebogen Crane

Black spade? Not the correct answer?

Read this again, forgetting that I'd already responded 5 months ago. Back then I answered Blue Hammer. This time it was Blue Crowbar. Hhhhmmm.
