Why am I normal?

[soleft]

I just did this stupid email test my friend sent me, and I'm in the 98%. How does this thing work?


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
(mentally) 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)........

You're thinking of 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?

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. Strange...

[trof]

5. me too

[Skittles]

2. hmmmm

I thought of peas

[xJlM]

3. First time I have ever been accused of being normal

But a carrot was the first thing to pop into my head...?

[Ivory_Tower]

4. I guess I'm a 2-percenter

I thought "tomato".

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. Tomato is Fruit.

[Ivory_Tower]

15. At least I didn't say "Strawberry"

:)

Yeah, I know...but "tomato" was the first thing that came to mind.

Maybe I should have said "Ketchup".

[Dogmudgeon]

6. Celery

But nice try anyway.

[Japhy_Ryder]

9. I also picked broccoli

[rbnyc]

16. me too (nt)

[SOteric]

10. I guess there are a great many 'different' folks around here.

And I'd be one of them.

Zucchini.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Er, that's still phallic...

;-)

[chadm]

12. Carrot?

I'm terrified that I'm normal. I can't figure out how this could have happened.

[Interrobang]

13. I swear I only thought of "carrot"

...because I had one in my mouth at the time. Hard to beat programming like that!

[zizzer]

14. funny
