26taurus Knowflake Posts: 13411 From: * Registered: Jun 2004	posted October 20, 2005 08:28 PM I wonder how it works too..... What did you guess Sun? IP: Logged
SunChild Moderator Posts: 4032 From: Australia Registered: Jan 2004	posted October 20, 2005 08:30 PM You thought the opposite I think.. ..nearly everyone I know got red hammer, except for one guy! Wierd, I guessed red hammer, I saw the picture of it in my mind, and knowing me (i don't like the color red, and I don't like hammers- I would have normally guess a yellow screwdriver (afterthought), BUT NO, red hammer popped up) but imagine how you'd feel guessing the answer??...especially after doing sums...how strange!

SunChild Moderator Posts: 4032 From: Australia Registered: Jan 2004	posted October 20, 2005 08:34 PM Do you think it was just a psychic moment? Or is there really a trick to this? I'm thinking I was malleable enough to fall for the subliminal thing(Whatever it is.) IP: Logged
Gemini Nymph Knowflake Posts: 2216 From: Registered: Jul 2004	posted October 20, 2005 08:58 PM Hmm I had never seen this test before, but I instantly thought "silver" and "screwdriver" the first time I read that line, but then when I re-read it I kind of "clicked" and thought "oh they want me to think 'red' and 'hammer'" - how intriguing!

Gemini Nymph Knowflake Posts: 2216 From: Registered: Jul 2004	posted October 20, 2005 09:00 PM Sun CHild I suspect it has to do with how our minds naturally organize thought, and things like red and hammer are somehow more closely asscoiated to performing numerical calculatiosn than other colors and concepts of tools. Just a guess, but hat's usualy how games like this work. IP: Logged
zenwarner Knowflake Posts: 401 From: tx, usa Registered: Aug 2005	posted October 20, 2005 09:00 PM wow. i thought a red hammer. and then immediately thought that i better think of something else but didnt. thats crazy! IP: Logged
AcousticGod Knowflake Posts: 11943 From: Pleasanton, CA, USA Registered: May 2005	posted October 20, 2005 09:24 PM I think I've seen this before, because I thought, "Oh, red hammer," at the end as if that was bound to be the answer. I think it's just a matter of doing things quickly. If you're associating a color with a tool, you think about the tool first, and then the color that matches the tool. Hammer-red makes sense to me. If I were doing things slowly I'd be creative, and be ok with a blue hammer, but red is the color most associated with tools and tool boxes, so that's why I think my brain went there. IP: Logged

Lauren Knowflake Posts: 1158 From: Registered: Aug 2005	posted October 20, 2005 10:31 PM This is another one I found ages ago..same thing Check out the following exercise. There's no trick or surprise. Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them...really. Now, ARROW down (but not too fast, you might miss something. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > What is: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1+5 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 2+4 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 3+3 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 4+2 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 5+1 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15 > seconds.

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are warped enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise. IP: Logged

Some red..yellow..green..blue.. but my favorite hand tools are black....or unpainted wood handled. I hate red tools. I paint them black or grip tape on the handles. And alot of just plain steel colored ones. OK! Edited! Just saw the new test! Got pole beans and pod pea vines. Ok....I guess I am weird. IP: Logged

Svetlana Knowflake Posts: 254 From: USA Registered: Jul 2005	posted October 21, 2005 08:20 AM For the first test I came up with "green scissors," for the second "cucumber". Green seems to be the theme with me! ------------------ We are the ones we've been waiting for. IP: Logged
