Interesting survey I took in a Psych class

[NYBG]

Ok, my psych professor (may he rest in peace) did this survey with us. Most of us were very surprised at the result. Since the majority of us picked the same answer. Reply if that was your answer but dont post the answer and spoil it for everyone! Please be honest and remember, it's just for fun. OK here's how it goes:

You have to get a piece of paper and a pen and follow these instructions:

Write down the number two

Now write down the number twenty-two

Next two-hundred twenty two

... two thousand, two-hundred twenty two

... twenty two thousand, two-hundred twenty twenty two

... two hundred twenty two thousand two hundred twenty two


Now scroll down after you have written the last thing down





















CLICK HERE AND THINK OF A VEGETABLE

I didn't even write anything down and just went and clicked the link!
That is wickedly awesome.

[RibZ]

Nope. Not what I thought of.

[CharlotteStar]

Wow lol. Exactly what I thought of (and another type as well, right after it). Did your professor explain why this happens?

[NYBG]

No he didn't explain why it happens, its just real weird.

[abiigeil]

I think I know why...If you thought of carrot,you're just like the others..NORMAL.If not,you're ONE OF A KIND.You're mind works differently from the others.

[MandaPantz13]

[0-TheFool]

For some reason I thought cucumber....

Wow lol. Exactly what I thought of (and another type as well, right after it). Did your professor explain why this happens?

I think most people think of carrot because after writing a lot of two's their mind thinks of 22 karat gold

[jojo27]

I wrote everything down but clicked the clink at the same time as reading it., So I dont think I really got the chance to do it right, but I did say C as I was clicking then thought aw cabbage. lol.

This seems like a simpler version of a similar trick, found here: http://www.wordofmouthexperiment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=349&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Mostly unrelated, but this was fun too. It's one of those "chain" tests, but I'm passing it on not out of superstition, but for it's interesting content. http://www.wordofmouthexperiment.com/dedpyhto/tests/tibetian/index.htm
Test, ignore this.

Well this thread seems to be pretty old but it sounds to be similar to the whole pick a number trick.
If you tell ppl to pick a number between 1 and 10 most people pick 7 (did it in class once and i tested it on a forum so its true.) They say its the most random number... or something like that. Besides carrot is a very common vegetable, and generally when you think of the word vegetable - carrot, tomato and just a few others come to mind. In other words the writing 2 thing may have nothing to actually do with it. Carrot may be the most commonly thought of vegetable at random. I mean if there is a most common number why not a vegetable? Although i would think it would be tomato.... hmmm maybe carrot could be the second most common and after all those twos... well you get the idea. it would be interesting if another was done with the number 1.

I picked a cucumber, but after I clicked the link I realized that cucumbers arn't vegetables.

how can a cucumber not be a vegetable? it's sold in the produce aisle.

[artichowl]

I thought of it and then immediately after I said no I don't want to think a vegetable I want to think of a fruit.
