| I thought of... | May 4, 2007 |
...a purple pen.
What? don't translators usually think of writing instruments?
I do admit purple is one of my favorite colors, so that was easy.
And also, I think the test is biased, as translators, we are supposed to have an abnormal mind, right? ... See more

I don't like red, but it was the first color that came to my mind. Was going to say blue, but that would have been cheating...
why a Hammer?
why?????

Strange that there seem to be quite a lot of the 2% on proz...

| I thought of red pliers because I had forgotten the English for "hammer" | May 4, 2007 |
I wonder if anyone counting in a language other than English would think of "red hammer".
I think this is because the last figure is phonetically associated with "red" and "hammer". At the very end you see once the figure 123 and pronounce twice the word "hundred":
hundRED > red
hundred > hammer
Very similar
This is just a guess

Interesting results! Not that many red hammers, it seems...
Now that's funny, because I remember this kind of fun test from when I was going to school and I'm pretty sure that I've always thought about blue, not red, and generally not a hammer - very often a screwdriver, I'd say.
@ Henrik: I played this game in French, and it was about a red hammer, too, so I don't think sounds are the matter in this game... See more Interesting results! Not that many red hammers, it seems...

We translators are definitely apart!

Make it a poll to get more 'scientific' results

| red dragon:-) | May 4, 2007 |
Why? SL interference. "Tool" = "herramienta" in Spanish, and often is a broad reference to a kind of software.
So having had loads of help from Dragon NS recently, I thought of dragon, and it's logo's red.
I don't think I'm abnormal though, just a translator:-)

Weird..I wonder what it means, apart from the fact that I seem to be among the 'ordinary few'?
