Look at the chart below and quickly say the color, not the word. This prooves how our brain uses each side of the brain for different action: your right side of the brain want’s you to say the color, but the left side insists on reading the word!

When I was little I had a large page with this on it (Mom cut it from some magazine) and I would spend all of my free time trying to do it. I finally said all of the colors around age 10 or so, and to this day I can still do it.
i did it first time round O_o
OHHH too easy!! i did it fowards and backwards… get some harder stuff man!!
Dang you people are smart!!! I can’t get it…..
that was easy i got it right the first time
tip:its real easy for girls coz we can easily use both halves of our brains
that was simple…
Took me less than 20 seconds without a mistake. I used to be lousy at stuff like that as I’m a word orientated person.
It was ok until I got to the last purple yellow
I suddeny forgot what purple is called
the last time i seen this was in primary school!! brings back memories haha, i was the only 1 in the class who could do it, even the teacher was freaked out! turns out i got autism and cant leave me house, oh well, eggs
the trick to doing it correctly a quickly is to blur your eyes, because you will just see a blurry blob.
just cross your eyes and it is no problem
ha! THO’s idea is funny! and works!!
haha you’re right THO and Hai, but that’s just cause it get’s all blurry…
The trick is to not read the words. Just look at the last letter of each word and say the color of the letter.
I stil can’t. it is funny tough. xD
omg dis is like so kool mum sez she could do dis wen she woz young and gesswot? i can 2!!!
do u no wether u can inherit dis stuff or sumthin??? coz this is sooooo fkn kool
bah! that last one always gets me
Is the last “yellow” supposed to be blue or purple?
Oh, wait… It’s purple. I just wasn’t sure because there is only one word with purple colouring.
wicked easy
its cheatin if you blur your eyes, i got it 1st time 2
and georgina ur right, its alot easy 4 girls in many brain tests. girls r even better at findin stuff in the frige than guys. proven. boys tend 2 look 4 the word butter writtin on sumthin while girls remember exactly what shape the butter is and find it much quicker,
exeption 2 all the sissy guys (and gay 1s)

georgina that was NOT tip. this is hard for me and im a girl. so there =P
It was too damn easy
ya that was reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly easy we did that in class b4. too easy.
Very easy…
2 EASY way 2 easy
I would imagine that people who are better/faster readers would have a more difficult time with this problem. This puzzle is easy for me because I can force myself to focus on a single letter and not read the entire word – but my sister (who is like a super speed-reader – an entire 300 pg book in one evening) found this to be hard.
It’s easy if you know how to read
me and my friends used to do that all the time.I was always the best one to do that. this page was the easiest one ever my 7 year old brother can do it too. thats how easy that was. any 1 who can’t do that is a looser!!!
try this with the color names written in a non common language for you, like norwegian (for me)… our brain cheats us
we did this in maths
soooooooooooooooooooooooo easy i got it my first try
girls are better at multi tasking.
Wow that was well easy!! it took me praticly like 5 secs. i found it easier doin it backwards. and yes anonymous we are well better and multi tasking cos we have smarter brains so ha! I REST MY CASE! thankyou
i found that in like 5 secs its well easy! reading it backwards is the easiest way for me lol! :)
iv dne smthing lke tht on a game clled brain age
Women are better at multitasking because they can’t focus on one thing at a time. Besides, the easiest way is not backwards, the best way is to look at only one letter.
well i did it first time cool!!!
then realised i had miss read what you were ment to do so was just reading the words!! doh!!
so tried again (the right way) and struggled, but was proud as i had a brain injury 3 yrs ago! and did better than i thought
