If You Can Score 20/25 On This Timed Color Test, Your Brain Processes Visual Information Faster Than 96% Of People


Here’s the deal: You’re going to see color words — like RED, BLUE, GREEN, but they’ll be displayed in the wrong color. Your job is to tap the color you see, not the word you read.

This is based on something called the Stroop effect, a neuroscience phenomenon discovered in 1935 that proves your brain reads words faster than it processes colors. When the two conflict, your brain basically short-circuits for a split second. And no one is immune to it.

It starts slow. It speeds up. Good luck. 🫡
