Exclamation Test! How about you? :)

It didn't work for me, but how about you?

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.

Re: Test! How about you? :)

Yep I chose red hammer - guess there's an explainable reason that my 15 year old could tell you (he knows the answer to EVERYTHING at the moment )
Although I've done this type of thing at different times and I can come up with different answers - maybe it depends on mood, etc....?

Re: Test! How about you? :)

The arithmetic is there to clear your mind of other thoughts...

At which point, red is the statistically most likely colour you'll think of. Probably because it is bright, attractive to the eye, and a nice simple word.

Hammer is also typically the first tool we think of, perhaps because it is believed to be the first tool "invented" by humans.

All this test is showing is that we're all human.

(BTW, I though of a peach-coloured chain-saw, but that might have been because I was deliberately making my mind think of less obvious things. )

Now, think of a vegetable...

Oh dear, I thought of a red hammer - not sure what that say's about me.

Red is my favorite colour and my daughters favorite toy when she was a baby was a squeaky red hammer but then maybe I'm just predictable...?

Like Yliander I’m just in from gardening

I chose a red trowel, even though the one I was using was green

my favourite colour is blue

I dunno, but given that you're half like me I'd think that's pretty odd for a woman...
