the lizard Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Suggestibility test - 1. the difference between 12 and 5 is ...... 7 2. the most obvious vegetable to associate with the repeated noise of "six-six-six-six" etc. would be a carrot. Simple really. The trick is to wind the subject up sufficiently, in anticipation of the answer. the Lizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
