Just a simple poll. You tell me which shape is named what.

 

There are no right or wrong answers. Just go with your intuition.

 

red is kiki for me..

 

If anyone knows what this is regarding, please don't say anything to spoil the fun.

 

uh ohh does this mean i'm mentally distorted in any way?...

 

Not at all. At least not in a way that would be apparent by your answer. :p

 

This isn't some Psych. test, is it? I'd better not be diagnosed ___ or something.

Nweiz, yeah the red one's kiki for me coz bulbos' kind of a blob-y name.

 

I got the right answer!!

 

ditto

i cheated too

 

I said that there is no right or wrong answer.

 

lies

 

No lies.
I'm just repeating this test to see how many SLers have rudimentary synesthesia. It also ties into the creation of human language.

 

Nice. So what's the verdict? How do we analyze our answers?

 

Man, this is so old. You don't "analyze your answers". This is just something researchers use to make a point about how the human mind works. Whenever this test is done, supposedly 90 to 95% of people will associate the sharp, pointy shape as having the sharp sounding name, and the soft, rounded shape as having the soft name.

SL isn't really the best place to conduct a scientific test though, because some people here just like to be objectionable and deliberately choose the wrong answer.
