Are you normal?
Cute fwd I got...a nice, quick mind test...
Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal or different?
Well, do this little mind exercise and find out at the end!
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, scroll 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? Keep this message going. Tell it to people you know and see if they can see if they
are usual or not.

I thought carrot too. I wonder what connection there is between carrots and the number six...

I wonder if it doesn't have to do with it being alphabetically first and a wide commonly ate vegetable...unlike brocoli. Who knows.
Good one.

Heidi--maybe "six" = "sticks"? carrot sticks? who knows..but i do agree, there must be some psychological trick in there.
Weirdly, though...many of my friends are part of that 2%, LOL...mentioning such veggies as cucumbers and spinach
