    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.








    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.

    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'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.
