Time for results.
three is normal, four is quite rare, all six and you are a genius according to the test.

I got 6 myself, the NT's at work got 3, my point is i got 6 because i just started counting the letters instead of reading the text is this how you guys counted 6. Any feedback would be interesting.

look on the net found info(next time I will cheat on google!)'

"Interesting! Goes to show that spoken language eclipses written language in that particular brain function. Even though it's a test of written language, many people process it the way they pronounce the words, and the voiceless "f" in "of" is either voiced or dropped. Yeah, I went phonemic instead of graphemic, and only saw three. "

Yeah, me too, but I didn't read the text before I counted, I just counted, from the end back. *shrug*

I'm guessing 3 if you're counting the all-caps, and 4 if you're counting the non-all caps after the text (the text saying: "Just post a figure").
