Karby · 11-08-2004, 09:39 AM

blue wrench and a tomato.
i've always known i was weird.

kollege_gal2000 · 11-10-2004, 08:36 AM

I thought of a blue hammer and a potatoe.

The only reason for this is because blue is one of my favorite colors, and I absolutly love potatoes.

ariekitten · 11-11-2004, 05:31 PM

green wrench and celery. i hate celery.

reiii · 11-11-2004, 06:41 PM

Omg annoying argument with roommate:

His opinion: same percentage of people will answer red hammer without math questions

My opinion: no way, there is some thought priming in effect

Stiltzkin · 11-11-2004, 11:05 PM

Blue hammer, tomato.

Sources of self-selection sampling error:
People who visit TFP.
People who visit Philosophy.
People who visited this thread.
People who took the quiz.
People who chose to post their results.

The last one is the kicker, though. The 2%ers are more likely to volunteer their "unique" results than the people who answer with the predicted responses. So, yeah, while I doubt there's any significant basis for the 98:2 claim... this thread wouldn't be significant evidence against it.

I'd already taken the quiz a while back, so I was trying to remember what the "common" answers were... so did I guess "red hammer" and "carrot" because that's what I was trying to remember? or am I a boring red hammer using carrot eater?

Fate · 11-12-2004, 08:04 PM

wrench blue
carrot

guess if I average that out... I'm similar to 51% of people.

joeshoe · 11-12-2004, 11:34 PM

I thought of a grey calculator for the first one and zucchini for the second.
I guess a calculator is only arguably a "tool," but after all those math calculations...
and I hate zucchini

There are probably more potheads than not.

Jimellow · 11-13-2004, 07:21 AM

I didn't think of anything.. Must be too early.

I guess I can't exactly to it again either when I'm more awake, ha!

papermachesatan · 11-18-2004, 10:51 AM

1st one: sorta 2%; Red Screwdriver.

didn't take the second one.

Sen · 11-21-2004, 09:41 PM

98% and 2%.

Red Hammer and Corn.

sobedrummer · 11-23-2004, 02:17 AM

Yup... exactly what i had...
but really, i can't recall the last tim ei actually saw a red hammer.

yahway96 · 11-23-2004, 01:14 PM

black screwdriver and squash
so if most of us are in the 2% does that make use normal and everyone else abnormal

Nazggul · 11-23-2004, 02:01 PM

Hammer, Blue and Lettuce.

Reese · 11-24-2004, 11:10 PM

Blue Screwdriver and Potato here.

I'd have to guess that the test stats are wrong, or TFP is full of abnormal people. I'm leaning toward the latter...

radioguy · 11-25-2004, 01:58 AM

2% for me in both..

orange hammer
beet

Excellent observation. Would you happen to be a Psychology major?

Tracybrian · 11-28-2004, 02:43 PM

Wow you all are soo00 unique
I misread the directions at first and was thinking about the word POOP the hole time?
Once I got to the end I came up with a blue hammer and a carrot.

oblar · 12-14-2004, 11:05 AM

blue hammer and cucumber.

they might have had me on the first one if they had said name a tool and its colour, because as it asked I thought of a tool then just a colour... and I like blue

i really doubt it is correct 98% of the time as well.

Guthumba · 12-15-2004, 08:25 AM

hiredgun · 12-15-2004, 08:48 AM

blue hammer.

Hal, it could just be that TFP has evolved our minds past the shallow "red hammer" stage. :P

munchen · 12-17-2004, 06:51 PM
