Try this Test...... I'm in the 2%
This is seriously weird: An interesting but strange test -- 98% or 2%?
At the end of this test, 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 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%

spanner and red.
There is another one, but asks you to name a vegetable.
Most say carrot.
It's to do with the way the brain files things I think - how common things are (hence no artichoke or whatever, and in alphabetical order.
Red is real common around us, and important (usually danger). Hammer is also common and early in the alphabet (hence most people not saying spanner or screwdriver)
