I found this test quite extraordinary. I've translated it from the French and I'm not sure if it works with English speakers.
It is NOT a trick. Please do the test right through to the end. It's not very long.
Follow the instructions and answer the questions one by one. You don't need to write down your answer. Work as quickly as possible but don't move on until you have finished the previous question. I think you will be astonished by the result.

You thought of a red hammer, right?
If not, you belong to the 2% of the population who gave a different answer. 98% of those taking this test answered with "red hammer".
I haven't the faintest idea why. Have you?
Je l'avais déjà fait il y a quelques années donc je m'en suis souvenu, mais à l'époque j'avais bien répondu marteau rouge !
ReplyDeleteIs there a logical explanation?
ReplyDeleteMy answer was an ORANGE SPANNER.
ReplyDeleteIt rhymes - I wonder why?
My sailing friend Robert replied "RED SAW".
ReplyDeleteWe think you will have to amend the percentages.
97% then?!
