This is for the Psychology majors...
Don't need pen or paper.
Just answer as you go. 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, arrow 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.
Again arrow down.
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?
Send this web page to all your friends so they can see if they are part of the 98% or among
the 2% of the population.
