Are you in the 98% or 2% of the population?

Yellow hammer. I think possibly because it's the name of a bird, isn't it, so the entire phrase came to mind as a phrase instead of as two unrelated words?

Anyway I did a google on red hammer and found a few more instances of this test, and istm that in all cases most of the people who commented didn't think of "red hammer" - so it sounds like it's bullshit, frankly. Unless 97.9% of people are secretly thinking of "red hammer" and not telling anyone...

Hmm... I must be the 5th one that thought a blue hammer then.

I think the hammer is just the most common or iconic tool of the bunch. After all it's used in every desktop or toolbar icon that's called "tools" and this test is being done with computer users so...

Blue is my favorite color as well and even my car is blue so that was pretty obvious for me

Only if you mix baked beans with mushy peas and mince beef

Definitely. Depends what you've been eating though.

It was red shovel for me.

I think I'll stay away from Word Association and Rorshach tests for a while.
