For Pojo and others interested in psychology

#1 Postby weatherlover427 » Mon May 19, 2003 11:47 pm

Just to set you know, when you get to the purpose of this quiz, I had the same thought as the majority. I have no idea how this happens, but let me know how many of you had the same thought process. Do exactly what it suggests, and try and figure out why we think the same.

For the Psychology majors... Don't need pen or paper. Just answer as you go. Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them ... really. Now, arrow down (but not too fast, you might miss something).........





























What is:







1+5











































2+4











































3+3











































4+2







































5+1



































Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15 seconds. Then scroll down.





























































































































QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.

































































Keep going.































































You're thinking of a carrot, right?











If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?
