Brain test. Will you get an A or an F?

[Jhony5]

OK, this is a strange little brain test. Count the F's as you read along. Do not review the sentence after your initial try.

 

 

Read the following sentence:

 

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-

SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-

IC STUDY COMBINED WITH

THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

 

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.

 

 

How many F's did you count the first time?

[Sly]

...............six

[rizzo]

I counted 6, too.

[Jhony5]

According to the article I found this test with, the human mind often recognizes the sequence of the letters O and F together as the letter V. On average most people are said to find only 4 F's on the first try. Me, I'll admit I only counted 5 the first time. Many of the people from the board I found this posted at only found 3 F's over and over again. So I thought I'd see how you fare people did with it. Just to see if anyone actually admits they only counted 3 or 4 F's. Some people are to vain to admit it though.

I got 6, but only because I've seen this before.

[Jhony5]

I got 6, but only because I've seen this before.

How did you do the first time? I'm trying to figure if this test is legit. From what I saw on the board I found it at, it consistently threw people off and it seemed as thorugh 75% or so of people failed to count 6 F's. Maybe it's, as Builder would say, Bullocks.

[eddo]

I got 4 the first time, like it says I missed the "of"s

 

[Phantom]

I counted 6.

[Jhony5]

The explanation I heard was that the better readers had more trouble with "of" counting, because they heard the sounds rather than painfully spelling out each word.

I think this exercise displays one's abilities in the area reading comprehension, rather than overall intelligence. It would also make a difference, I believe, if you were fully awake or not.

[Phantom]

I counted 7...... 6 is the wrong answer, there are actually 7 F's

I see 6.

 

Here is another one: How many 7's do you come across when you count from 1 to 100?

 

Answer Below... (you will need to highlight the text since it will be invisible for a black background)

[Feckless Wench]

5...............

[snafu]

I only counted 4. But that's par for the course for me.

[Mack the Knife]

I got three. But then, I'm not as smart as John Kerry.

I wonder if John Kerry's condiment magnate wife makes him squirt ketchup all over her box before eating her out???

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth... thanks RO. lol.

[Ahhlee]

I counted 6, but only because I have taken this test in the past and remembered that most people don't count the "f" in "of" so I was extra diligent in my counting.

[ImWithStupid]

Here is a real test. It sucks because you don't have much time to answer.

The problem with the tests is they always throw in questions that only idiots would know the answer to.

I love Hannity's Man on the Street Thursday. If you can not name the Vice President of the USA by name or recognition by picture, move the fuck out.
