Neeranam Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Do you need to look again? Test Your Brain This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though. ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST Count every " F " in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... (SEE BELOW) HOW MANY ? WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke. READ IT AGAIN ! Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down. The reasoning behind is further down. The brain cannot process "OF". Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Got 3. I actually do not believe those who got 6 the first time are geniuses. I think they are freaks. Our brains function all the time by FILLING IN. A word like OF is filler, we don't have time to consider it. It is part of our biology. There is a good book which considers this phenom scientifically, called Stumbling Into Happiness. Its all about the odd quirks of the human brain.

mr_hippo Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The most common answer for native speakers is three! We tend to skip words as jingthing has pointed out and we tend not to see words like 'of'. None native speakers will read every word and get more 'f's.

suegha Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have seen this years ago, no mystery, it's that the brain will 'more likely take in the 'Fs' that sound like 'F'. So 'Finished' is an 'F' sound, whereas 'of' os more a 'v' sound. It's not that the brain 'does not process! it's that most of us are not good proof-readers, that's why some got it first time, they are good proof-readers!

Jingthing Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I disagree. A good proofreader needs to work fast and efficiently. Those OF words were correct. No correction needed. This wasn't a proofreading task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
