Mine was: Green wrench.

i thought of hammer-colored brown-tool, in that order - guess i'm really creative

WOW! That is creative! Sans the hammer part, which proves you are not part of the elite 2%. Just saying...

Wtf was the point of that? What facts are there behind this?

Screwdriver red

Green Leaf Blower... but I went to Art College, I know I am more creative than most chimps.

Pink dildo. Phear my creativity!

Already pheared.

Yellow screwdriver, but what's the point?

blue vice grips

What does it say about me if I thought of a crimson ball-peen?

blue hammer lulz

"If not, you belong to 2% people, wihich are more creative than rest 98%"

wihich?
wihich can't spell or use grammar.

I thought of a Green Ryan Seacrest. He's a tool.

green shovel...and now I'm all nervous cause I hate tests.

HAHAHA! Gorgonheap, you're probably the most creative one here.

blue hammer 10th vote, here you go !

First part mentally distracts, and disorientates. Second part gets people to reach for first colour and first tool. Its like the old Red Elephant trick. Given a specific letter and told to think of an animal, the majority pick elephant. Its mildly interesting but you cant deduce anything other than statistical bias to information retrieval with a cultural/social pattern to the result. If that made sense. If it wern't for the first part, you might be more able to be unusual in your choice, which they don't want. They want to illustrate the pattern in our first and instinctual choice. Math is good for that unbalancing.

i guessed hammer would be what they wanted me to think

Red Hammer... pictured it right quick, "hammer. red handle." heh, I even looked back to see if it flashed something, but hey, at least I got the all the math right. And in my defense, my hammer had a metal head, which isn't really red. hehe.

But it's true, if you choose to suspect you're being fooled or tested or something, you can easily force yourself to come up with something unusual, especially if you know it is a "test of `special` creativity" before hand. I think it's more of a test of how willing you are to embrace and neurological experiment than it is a test of creativity.

My bet is than that a person would access either:
-a word-image recognition center to associate the first tool that comes to mind, then the first color that could be imagined on that tool... not necessarily a red hammer, but that's kinda a common choice.
or
-a creative center we often call upon for creative story telling/writing and lying (which is about the same). The person might be thinking, this is a trick, quick, come up with something original, even if it would not otherwise be the first thing to come to mind.

Wild.

Same goes for ink-blots. I could tell you I see flowers when I really see dead bodies, but in the end, the fact that I was obviously lying says as much about me as if I were to have told the truth.

(I do realize people were joking. lol. I just thought this was a cool neurological experiment and figured I'd delve into wild conjecture)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Blue hammer. Maybe the blue/red hammer split is based on your political leanings?

um.. i thought of a disembodied penis... couldn't think of a "tool" other than that because
"don't think of pink elephants" phenomenon happened...

My first thought when the test even started was an Orange Carrot, yeah, I know, original color. But I have to agree with Doc_M because you knew it was a test and most were expecting some result so they were coming up with the most unusual thing they could think of.

DAG. lmao.

Orange Hammer for me. But this is ridiculously simple and complete nonsense. How do you define creativity, anyway?

grey wrench... prolly all that tf2 i've been playing...

green wrench here...

Orange hammer for me as well.

wrench blue

Red Shovel

Am I 50% of 2%

Crap... I saw some comments before doing the test, so I don't think me ending up with a green shovel really means anything.

On a side note, I have never seen a red hammer. My hammers are always just metal-colored... was the test to get people to think of the color of the most common tool they've seen, or is tool/color choice separate? I can't imagine seeing a red hammer, so I don't think that I would have come up with that result regardless.

Red hammer.

Also, gorgonheap wins the intertubes.

Red hoe

... no one else 'got love for the hoes?

WTH happened?! I thought of a red hammer and it came up as red hammer...

Blue Spanner

Red Plasma Cutter. *promote

Clikety clack.

Yellow Crescent

I thought of the band Tool, then the color green. Probably because the drummer and singer were in the Three Little Pigs video for the band Green Jelly.

I AM CREATIVE, BOW BEFORE ME!

I'm guessing that all of the math questions leading to a question un-related to math makes your mind quickly think of the most basic answer, which for tool would be hammer (in Westernized countries) and for color would be one of the primary colors?

I really doubt 98% of people would pick red hammer. This seems more like a test to make people think they're special, but it was interesting anyway.

Yellow wrench.

Hammer motherfucking Orange.

Preposterous.

Red wrench.

I'll be part of the 2% who DON'T post what tool and color they picked.

I thought of a yellow black/silver lathe. Might be because I've started learning AutoDesk Inventor 09.

Chalk another one up for blue hammer

First thought was green power drill, but changed it to red hammer, and would have answered that.

I suppressed my creativity
