First we have some simple arithmetic questions.

Then, 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 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.

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.

If you do not believe this,
pass it around and you'll see.

I thought of a purple rotary cutter!!!
I got all the calculations right. I work as a book/keeper, admin assist for an accountant. I am pretty good at adding numbers fairly quick.

i did say red but not hammer ..cool

HOW DO THEY DO THAT!!!!!
I'M IN THE 98%

red rotary cutter

yellow ruler was my tool !

OMG Red Hammer

I said blue sissors :)

hmmmm. I had a blue shovel. Always knew I was an outside the box thinker....never thought I was weird... :roll:

I'm in the 2%...said green screwdriver...green is my favorite color so that is why I picked that...and earlier today I had tightened a screw...so I think that is why I picked that tool.
