Are you a 98%er or a 2%er?

Post by +Osiris »

Ok this was an E-mail I got, See what one you are, the 98&er or the 2%er.

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 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.


Start: How much is: 15 + 6










21










3 + 56







59







89 + 2



































91





12 + 53



















65







75 + 26

























101





25 + 52









































77







63 + 32



























95







I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..





Come on, one more! .....















123 + 5



























128













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..


*I answered 'Black Saw' So I'm a 2%er, Post what you get :D

Haha, you got me. Yes i'm a 98%-er. At first i was thinking of an image of a saw or a screwdriver, but couldn't think of the words for them, so i was like... erm, dunno, hammer... erm, red.

Maybe it's because calculations heat up your left hemisphere, and a hammer is kinda the most primitive tool, which also uses the left hemisphere. Not sure about red, maybe because it says "QUICK! ANSWER!" and the fear and anxiety kicks in, and red color could be attributed to those feelings.

Really fun :D

Here's a theory that could be used to explain it:

Same thing if you asked: Name the first Operation System that comes to your mind.
I bet 98% would answer "Windows" :)
