Hmm Blue Hammer.

I guess cause hammers are so handy... something doesn't work.. just hit it with a hammer.

I've seen a similar test before with beets as the final result, and it got me. I'm wondering how these things work, too. o.O

"i don't need tests to know i'm not normal =)"
Ditto!

Which is normal enough for me I guess.  :)

I pictured a red hammer
:?

Yellow hammer.

Hmm, something about the raw natures of addition and forcefully attaching things together.

I don't know why anyone would pick red, though. Hammers usually have wooden handles of brown or yellow don't they? Maybe when you guys think of math you think of blood? ;)

Why red hammer?

Well, having to add numbers up on a page that I think is supposed to be fun kinda makes me see red.  :)

Post by: ap on July 21, 2005, 09:24:35
It got me too.  Red Hammer.  Oh well,  as long as being normal doesn't equate with not being able to get results from one's efforts to get to other focus levels, then I'm okay with that.  Ha ha!  Just realized that most so-called "normal" people don't usually participate in websites like this.   :lol:

Btw, what is "normal"  anyway?  Anyone know?

I think there must be some subliminal thingy, where certain numbers activate a color or something. hammer would be an obvious choice for tool anyway.

I think it might also have to do with looking at it thru a copmuter screen. I printed it out and brought it to school, and not one person said red hammer... the closest ther was to red hammer was yellow hammer or something.

I think it might be like the whole first color and tool that comes to mind game. they get you answering questions fast so your giving instant results (unless you have to pause to think about it) so when it asks you the fisrt things that some to mind thats what you get. many peoples first number to be choosen when asked is 7. or the fisrt vegetable is a carrot and so on.  the math could possibly trigger the color red but I think the most common tool thought of is a hammer.

"QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL"

ratchet, 10 inches long, shiny silver color... (but thats about the only color they sell)

then I read "AND A COLOR!"

and thought "damn i havent thought of a color yet"

thought RED for 1/5 second, then BLUE for 1/5 second. Red was first, so...

TOOL: RED RATCHET

Hi everyone,

I knew my Bachelors degree in psychology would come in handy sometime in life. Here is your answer from a guy who spent over $10,000 for a college degree. The reason a vast majority of people pick a red hammer has nothing to do with adding numbers. The adding primes your mind to respond fast to the question. Colors have definite conotations to emotion. Red is associated with masculine, aggressive emotional reflex response. And since hammers are used to pound things and is a physically aggressive act, red begets aggression. As for hammer, it is the most widely recognized tool
and is a simple tool and therefore the brain finds the fastest, most direct path to an answer. The less the brain has to work the more likely the answer. If we didn't have correlation of objects so engrained in our minds over the span of a lifetime we would literally go insane from brain strain. Simplisity is the rule. I hope I didn't completely lose everyone. It is the simplist way I could explain it. Thank God for my $10,000 dollars spent on this question. Oh, by the way, I was normal too. lol

Am I normal?

oo I hope not.

What's the point of me existing if there's already someone like me?

Green screwdriver.

But at first, I thought of the band when told to think of a tool.

happypuppy thanks for the explanation.

Would you happen to know a few interesting psychology forums and sites ?

I thought of a yellow hammer btw.

I was close... red screwdriver!  I guess I'm partly normal and partly abnormal! ;)  

Well, the only time I use tools is when I'm assembling something, and that usually involves screwdrivers.  And my power screwdriver happens to have a red handle! :)

I'm certainly not normal.

To my understanding "Normality" is endemic.

Like Appearance.

red hammer
Title: Are you normal ?
Post by: Ybom on August 25, 2005, 11:59:07
I think the answer is in the simplicity as well. I thought of 'red wrench' not because it was the simplest tool, but because i'm involved in linguistic society to some level, so linguistically, wrench is only 1 syllable aka simpler, not to mention its a bit of onomatopoeia with the whole starting with R thing.

Happypuppy, I would like your critique on my logic, if available.

"When I got this one, I tried it and was completely freaked out
by the results! Try it, and you'll see what I mean!)

Carry out this test. Just follow the instructions as
quickly as possible, but do not carry on reading the
following questions"

Seroiously thats as far as I got. so I was a bit confused about different colour hammers, wondered what you were all on about.

ADDED


Don't get me wrong I did scroll down to see the Red hammer!

But when I came back here I was mixed up and I wondered how it changed color.  

Was there anyone who thought about the hammer like I thought about it?

Or were you told to think about it?

Suppose I was told about it to, Bloody interesting experiment!

If my view isn't making sense someone tell me so, I'll communicate it. Don't worry I know I'm not normal! This just proved it.

I also thought of a green hammer, OrionsDream.  I guess that means we are 50% normal.
