"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 hammerwhile doing this exercise."

How was test? I wonder why 98% people can see a red hammer... I saw a blue chair because my Math class chair was blue! Anyone could explain why 98% people could see a red hammer?

While blue is indeed a color, I'd be curious why you saw a chair when it said "tool."

I guess it is because I use a chair to reach my ceiling to change some bulbs so a chair is always part of "tools" for me. I'm short btw.

I think it's because you are Japanese why you did not see the red hammer. Japanese animation uses a sword to punish people, right? ha ha! chop chop! ho ho! haaaa!

Hi Seiko-chan, Welcome back to the U.S.? Or are you still in Japan? My room mate, Jean saw a green hammer, and Brian saw a blue hammer, and why I could not see even a HAMMER!? Why? Why? WHY???

I saw a green rake. Why would you want to see a red hammer? I’d rather not think like 98% of the people. When I sent this test around the only ones responding said that they were in the 2% and none that said they saw the red hammer - I thought the test was bogus – but when I had talked to friends on the phone they admitted that they did indeed see a red hammer. Very strange...
