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:

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
