Look at the following words and say the COLOUR of the word, not the word itself.
Why is it so difficult?
Because one half of your brain is trying to say the colour, while the other side of your brain is trying to say the word.
Have a lovely day.

I know, it's because you are not actually reading the word, so the brain cells don't get confused

Not easy , but I did it
Told myself to see it as a colour . I think I tend to see words as shapes so that helps too
Now my brain needs a rest

I managed it but I had to do it slowly and conciously look at the colour not the word. Need a cuppa now how about a cookie to go with it ?

It is called a "Stroop Test" and is a psychology test to do with dichotomy! I remember this from a course I studied in 1986!!!

Even knowing how it works doesn't give one much advantage unless you concentrate really really hard! Best way was to screw up ones eyes and deliberately not read but just see the colours!
