    well, a blue hammer here too. But I have a theory why there are so many blue hammers. Actually, most of them would have thought of a red hammer if it hadnt' been for the blueish purple background of SP, which influences the choice of color. For this test to be valid, it has to be in black letters on a white background IMHO. If the background would have had a saw, then most people probably would have thought about a saw.

    Just my two eurocents :p

    [​IMG] Red hammer. According to this thread, it's coincidence though.

    [​IMG] Black hammer.
    But what does that prove?
    Is half of me an independent individual, while the hammer-half is massproduced standard?
    :hmm:

    Ah, who cares.

    My brother said red hammer. Maybe our different results are because RPGers think differently from "normal" folk. Then again, it is probably just that the 98% figure is vastly overstated.

    I did this test a year or two back as well. Then it had 3 parts, each very much the same as this one. I got 1 or 2 out of 3 the same way as the test assumed.

    Now, when I read "tool and a colour" the only thought I had was a hammer and a carrot, then I moved on and read what it was supposed to be. So guess my colour would be orange. Close enough I suppose.

    But I have a problem with my "different" thinking as well, truth be said. I'm very stupid in other things, while very insightful in others. And even generally my problem is that I focus on different things than others normally do when trying to learn something, listen to something or otherwise analyze a problem. I don't count this as an advantage. While the good thing about it is I feel unique and hopeful there's something great about me, the bad thing is that I just don't blend in. And I'm getting quite tired of soloing through this life of mine.

    What?! Damn I couldn't think about a single tool... Well now I always knew I was special, I just didn't realize it was that bad! ;)

    And as for the colors, I can uderstand why so many are getting blue. Just looka at the background ;)

    Red hammer!

    Well, no wonder if you think that I have an obsession with hammers and my favorite colour is red...

    But, anyway, does this mean I'm normal? I don't think so... Like Foradasthar: "I'm very stupid in other things, while very insightful in others."

    Odd, I had a green hammer.

    But it is a hammer.

    Weird.

    [​IMG] Leave my red hammer alone! or my brain for that sake!

    I think this test is made for danes, we always use hammers and red is our flag colour, so instinctively we think of those... Timepressure is the essense! Or Telepathy. or alien invasions... :mommy:

    Red
    Blue
    Green

    The most common and also the basic colours. I guess those making the test thought a hammer was a basic tool, but what we have seen here is everything from calculators to chainsaw. Roleplayers are so imaginative and inspiring! :thumb:

    Still time seems important here, right? The more unusual answers you have, the better part of a split second you guys did spend on thinking out a tool and a colour? My guess is that those spending more than a half a second, found "alternative" answers to a hammer and even to the RGB colours; Most commonly the achromatic colours.
