content: All you gotta do is look at a corner and not at the whole word.

content: The solution is simple. Suppress your ability to read, and focus on the colours. It's sort of like staring off into space, but you're still partially focused.

content: The interesting thing with this exercise is that to succeed at it, you must either be well trained and focused, or be completely dumb.

content: This was interesting on another level too. When we see 'words', we do not look at every letterin the word, but see the words as 'pictures' in our brain, that we are familiar with. Seeing thewords... "Computation" or "Inexplicably", it flows in sentences without 'seeing' individual letters.Then again.... Some clever people realized that ALL we need is really thefirst&lastletters ofwords, to make them recognizable in a sentence!! (Other letters mixed up). Consider the following!!....Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrodare, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatlmses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteterby istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe....All perfectly readable at normal speed !

content: Now I suppose the question falls to, who wants to be that guy who goes and makes a mirror of Wikipedia, but encoded through a neural network to be like the above posters example. Though I suppose it technically falls under a language comprehension test, unless you really have the language fluent, you won't have that fill in the gaps process for a given language.

content: That's (actually a more simplified one, only three colours) one of the battery of tests that my Neurophysiologist puts me through every couple of years. Fun, but it makes me break into a sweat. There's a black and white words only one that goes with it as a baseline.

content: Not to mention in German, being on "DO" terms with someone!!!One may ask a stranger/boss... "Haben Sie..." (for "have you...).But for family, or 'invited' friends, say... "Hast Du..."Different words, and sentence structure !!!

content: The hardest part for me is figuring out what the name of a color is. I am one of those guys that gets confused when you go much beyond red, green, blue. I know that chart has more than three colors in it, but who can remember what they are called? I know there are things like teal and ecru, but those are words for specialists.
