Nikki--Spanner=wrench--I had no idea :D

Like Susie, I wonder where all of us "hammer people" but with different colors fit in? ;)

Ok--I think I'm officailly overthinking this :lol:

Erm nope its got me stumped....

If it helps this was my thought process as best I can explain.....

Hmm color and tool.... OK color's easy.. what's a tool.... well a camera is a tool and a computer is a tool but obviously I'm stretching this... hmmm what was the last tool in the sense its meant I used... drill ... my drill is green.... solves both.

Okay so I did this once a while back and I just did it again. Both times I could not help but say "purple hammer" immediately after I was done calculating. I really want to know how that works :huh:

There is obviously more consistency within this group for the tool that was chosen- a hammer.

This "experiment" illustrates how our minds store/organize/retrieve information- which is a branch of psychology known as cognitive psychology.

A hammer is a prototypical example of a tool for the vast majority of people- and when asked to provide an example of something from the "tool" category on the spur of the moment people will be most likely to retrieve the name of the tool that represents their prototype.

The same sort of trick or experiment could be done using a different question- like bird instead of tool. People would be more likely to say something like sparrow or robin instead of flamingo, for the same reason.

I guess "red" may be a prototypical colour for many people too, but within this group it may not be.

If my theory is correct, 98% of us have the ability to wrecklessly jump to conclusions.

2%, while being "half abnormal" :huh::P , or completely abnormal, have no choice but to think about stuff.

I've thought about it, and I think the answer is right there - over-thinking. A thinker will think momentarily about the answer - analyze quickly, if you will. Like the drill - thought about the last tool used. There was a process of thought. For me, no process - just thoughts. Someone who doesn't analyze (like me - I hate to admit it - I used to be an analyst of sorts) is accustomed to going with the first thing that shoots into their mind. Not that I'm simple-minded (maybe I am?) - just not analyzing the question - but when I started reading, I made a conscious effort to not think about it, so I guess that I was thinking about it somehow.

Hammer - the most basic tool, no?

Red - of the primary colors, red is the most brilliant, no?

I said purple hammer too!

So that makes about 4 or 5 of us that said purple hammer? I think that means we're pretty normal. LoL.

Just an observation but reminds me of a Penn and Teller episode in a way...

If they tell you that 98% of people pick red hammer and you do then ... WOW its amazing so you forward it and then if 50% of the people (just randomly) then forwards it then its always being forwarded by someone who thinks WOW...

As was pointed out the hammer is a pretty basic tool and red a fairly common and as noted bright color..

One thing I forgot to say is my wallpaper is green.... so if I dare suggest... (sorry no meaning to offend) since its far more girls here than guys and lots of girls know the names and how to use a hammer but might not be all that comfortable with an angle grinder (if you have to look it up don't bother .. that's the point)...

I am pretty confident (but just wildly guessing really but if I say I'm confident... :D) if you gave the same test to say a load of dentists at a dental conference they'd come up with dental tools... or a factory where hammers aren't used (but maybe screwdrivers and pliers are) then you'd get a lot less red hammers????

as for asking me about a bird... easy... chicken, duck, goose, pheasant, quail (anyone get how my mind works :D)

yummm.....

mauve dremel! I love that!! I must admit - - the color I first thought of was turquoise - - and both a screwdriver and cordless drill flashed through my mind - I picked screwdriver....

and since I just found out that my recent ex-boyfriend-not-quite-fiance is getting married in four months, I may just help myself to several orange screwdrivers, whilst looking for something to pound with a purple hammer...... :angry::(:huh:

Blue hammer here ...and why are we all thinking of hammers?? :ph34r:

Me too, blue hammer it is. I'm thinking it could be a new cocktail but what should it have in it?

I'd say thirsty but I see you don't drink.

Susan, glad to see you in fine form. :P

It appears normality is being challenged, and about time. :lol: I've always know I was strange, I'm just surprised to find that I'm only half abnormal.

Thanks for the quiz Karen,

Purple shovel... Is a shovel even technically a tool?!?!?! I think my second was allen wrench. Weird, huh? Of course, my favorite color is purple, so that's the only color I ever think when asked to choose a color quickly, on the spot.

yellow wrench.

I've always loved yellow and, well, when i'm asked to pick a tool, i automatically think of the game Clue--a game I haven't played for years but played a lot when I was a kid. It is the probably the only real life situation where I'm told to 'pick a tool'. A lot of the "tools" in the game aren't actual tools . . like the candlestick, lead pipe, rope. so that's probably why I thought of the wrench.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
