Almost scary mind reading game....try it

[lastchance]

Every time I go through this, their answers don't line up with mine around 5 or 6 times, therefore it keeps missing.

Actually, it *is* sort of neat. I did the next two tests and I thought of the things that it said I was going to think of.

On a related note, my sister got a little handheld "20 questions" game for Christmas. Now *this* was cool. It managed to guess what I was thinking of about 90% of the time. There was a bunch of times where I thought it was totally going down the wrong path with its questions, but still managed to guess what I was thinking of by the end.

So I read this and remember playing that 20 questions things online some time ago. I googled it and played a round. Upon finishing, I read:

Uncommon Knowledge about a laxative
Do you carry it in your pocket? I say Probably.
Would you like to be one? I say Yes.


I'm through with this game, and glad it didn't read my mind.

It didn't get any right on me, although I was prepared for the red hammer.

I won one of those in my office yankee swap. It guesses right abot 90%, and I am very impressed. It even gets rediculous things like nutrino.

W! T! F!!!

Are the tasks just mcguffins?

[Jules22]

wow that is crazy, the red hammer one made my jaw drop. i thought of a tomato tho, because i am stupid and dont know the diff between veggies and fruits

[Larimani]

- 7
- Carrot
- Red hammer

Doh! how predictable am I?... no wonder I'm a fish at p*ker.

The psychological explanation is that categories are represented as stereotypes in our brains. When you think of the category "bird" you don't visualise a penguin... this is basically it; Carrot is a common stereotype for vegetable and red hammer is a common stereotype for tools. Which stereotype will represent each group depends agmonst others on culture and age of aquisition.
