I’m also doing a project, i’m 13. It’s a really cool site, and ‘m glad I found it.The piont of the test is to read fast, not slow, and carefully. It’s really fun, and just because you got them right, good job! Don’t make bad comments on the site. It’s cool, and challenging, & that’s awsome. :p

I took the test, it’s really cool, and hard at the same time. Thanks!, that was fun, I got through the first 15, and then I messed up. I’m going to keep trying to see if I can go through more without a mistake.

I just did the color word teaser exercise and although I wasn’t going too fast, I was slowing down every few lines. I said all the colors outlout and correctly. I didn’t make any mistakes. I don’t know why or how. but I focused on the actual color of the word not the word itself. So, when there was a word that spelled its actual color I thought I’d made a mistake, but I hadn’t.

Well that was very simple u know if u know the right technique!!!!!!!!
TOO EASY!!!!!!!!!! IF U KNOW HOW!!
Never try to focus at all !!
Get ur vision relaxed !!! there ain’t a need to concentrate u know!!!
Just see the entire box as a whole with ur blurred vision ,Don’t go by the shape of the characters and u’ll find that the boxes simply contains patches of colors!!
NOW it becomes easier for the brain to interpret!!! cos it simultaneously doesn’t have to differentiate between our objective of interpreting the color and the meaning of the word!!!
I got through it in the very first try following the simple technique!!
TRY IT OUT AND EVEN U CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t see why everyone makes it a point to be kind of rude.

Well, this isn’t a test you do slowly.
This is a test that your suppose to read fast. Just like your reading the newspaper.
you don’t read every word individually do you?

It’s not just a brain teaser, it’s a test to see which triggers your brain more, the words, or the colors.

I got 31 words in. I am 12 and tested my friends. They all messed up in the first line! HAHA! I am doing a science fair project asking if black or colored text is more easily remembered. That’s how I found you. Cool site!

That Pattern is way too confusing for me to look at.

Here’s a similar one, more interactive but you type the answer:

I’m wearing my black sunglasses when reading.
So, I can read the color faster… LOL

Adam,
Sorry, no ribbons – yet. Look for streamers in the future, though.

Alvaro,
Yeah, it’s pretty neat, huh? Other’s mentioned the Stroop test above – including Dr. Jean C. Stroop.

Seamonkey,
Thanks.

I never made a mistake, but I’ve also seen something close to this and I didn’t make a mistake then either… odd…
I was able to do it pretty fast as well.

Fun post. In fact, this is a well-known test, called Stroop Test, used by neuropsychologists to measure one’s ability to control impulses…you have to try the computerized interactive version!

Yep, slow and methodical did the trick.

And, how cool on all the interest this post generated?

I just had to comment, since this is the 100th comment on this post… just in case ribbons flew out of the sidebar and bells went off, saying that I won a prize.

study guide,
That's the key - if you stay focused.

Michael,
Well, isn't it all about perception? How we perceive things is what moves us. So if I perceive myself as having a writing block, then I will. But isn't that just a perception? The question I have is what changes are perception?

Everybody,
Sorry I was away and unable to answer all your comments. I didn't expect to reach the #1 position on Netscape and so my server wasn't ready to receive such a huge volume of traffic. I'm so sorry for the crash. I appreciate all your interest in this post and I have worked out my server problems so this doesn't happen in the future.

The colour experiment itself is pretty neat, but the connection to overcoming ones writer’s block is a bit unclear. I wonder if/how that works.

Very interesting. We did a test like this in highschool, it’s not really that difficult though, if you stay focused.
