Wow, I must be lucky!
I usually don't do these things, but this is kind of interesting

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! Calculation s are hard work, but it's! nearly over..
Come on, one more! ...
123 + 5

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 subj line if you are among the 98% or the
2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you.
I thought of a black hammer... fess up everyone...
2% !!!

Purple hammer
blue hammer...
Reminds me of a test I used to give people all the time that nobody ever passed:
First, I'd ask them to spell the word "silk"
Then, I'd ask them to tell me what cows drink.
Everyone always answered "milk", which is incorrect. Cows drink water, not milk.
I thought of a blue socket wrench
Red Hammer.........at first i said Red Toolbox....and then remembered that a Toolbox isn't a tool, and then i thought Red Hammer........I'm so average.
Im totally wacked....BlacK Saw. LOL
umm, Jeff... Your the only one who saw the red hammer so far... :-)
Actually, I confess to having said "red hammer" myself. I do have a point of contention:
The 2% are not following directions. If you "truly" clear your mind and blurt out the first thing that comes to you from such a question, your brain will pick the most commonly occuring ideas. Picking anything else means you weren't completely cleared of analytical thinking and spent at least a second searching for an answer. You may not realize it and may deny it up and down, but its purely a matter of a split second that shows the difference.
blue hammer.
I said Blue Wrench o.O
Maybe i'm not so average?
Orange hammer…a little ironic that the 2 people who have responded to (or started) this thread from TattooNOW are within the 2% who did not think of "red hammer"…
2% scmo percent... It seems like we're in the majority there maggie. You go to hampshire college, you know not to trust any headlines! Either that or we're all thinking too much on this board... I bet we all have different favorite colors, but all equate hammer with tool... To do the test better they shouldnt prep you for the 2% outcome and just let you do the test, then tell you the percentages...
BLUE WRENCH TOO!!
Black Screwdriver here.
Yellow jackhammer...
Whatever.
purple hammer
Holy Shit... i totally thought red hammer...
lol i thought of a orange hammer. i was close ;)
I must have been thirsty, I thought orange screwdriver......
Well, I was really off. I guess it shows you how abnormal I really am! haha.
pink wrench
purple computer. [does that even count? -shit I need to get off this thing]
