This is a Test!

 
 
 
 
Can you read the following paragraph? When I first looked at it, it made no sense at all, but in less than a minute, it became so clear and easy.

Can you read this? Only 55 people out of 100 can.
 
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
 
The email that I received with these brain "tests" included claimed that if one can read the above successfully, then dementia would be unlikely for a long time to come.  I hope it's true.  How did you do?
 
Have a great Sunday!

  1. I got it !
    I was able to read it. Very interesting.
    The same concept applies to art.
    Only a few lines are needed and our brains can "put together" the picture.
    Fun post. ;)

  6. Hi Linda ~
    Good to hear from you!
    I've seen this before and it is amazingly easy to read :) I hadn't heard about the dementia link, though, and that is encouraging.
