Harvard Age Test- Try it! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Modfather · 05-07-2005, 04:14 PM

This was developed as an age test by an R&D department at Harvard University. Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake.

Amazingly, research shows that the average person over 40 years of age can't do it in less than 40 seconds!

1. This is this cat
2. This is is cat
3. This is how cat
4. This is to cat
5. This is keep cat
6. This is an cat
7. This is old cat
8. This is fart cat
9. This is busy cat
10. This is for cat
11. This is forty cat
12. This is seconds cat

Now, go back and read aloud the third word in each line from the top down.
