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 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 3 + 56 89 + 2, 12 + 53 75 + 26 25 + 52 63 + 32 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. Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% > and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you.
I'm different and abnormal....I said red open end adjustable wrench. OK..I really said Red Crecent wrench, but Im not sure I spelled it right.
Now....what the HECK did we go through all those goofy numbers for? I hate math. And the numbers aren't clear....is the first set "15+63+1589+2" or is it 15+63+15 and then 89+2? And same for the others. In any case...I see no relation. I guess that makes me even odder.
I thought of a red screwdriver! Probably because I was using one all day for the last three days. It would be even more interesting if taken by individuals who do not perhaps use their tools as often as FTE'ers.
I was with Jonm61 and the blue hammer as I have 5 different Estwings all blue
and holding to the tradition of not usually running with the herd I did not bother with the math as well .
I went through about half of the math, looking for some pattern. When I didn't find one, I figured "screw it" and went to the end. Then I thought of colour and tool, but drew a blank. But I could see it in front of me. It was a blue hammer, but I just couldn't get my brain to say "blue hammer". So what percentile does that make me?
