I got ten. I'd have gotten more, but the minute limit stressed me out. XD

I got 7, but not sure if they all counted (such as "sow").
I hope it counts that I did it in Danish.

Yeah I must have known at least a dozen more, but couldn't think of them.

I got sloth and seagull and then my brain froze and I couldn't come up with anything else.

I got seven:

Snake
Snail
Slug
Sandhopper (not sure if that's an official animal name but that's what my cousins and I call it)
Slow Loris (only got that one because I'm currently studying for a Primate Behavior exam)
Seagull
Starfish

I can't believe that squirrel, seal, and shark didn't occur to me, especially since I'm actually very fascinated with sharks. Apparently I buckle under the pressure of a time limit!

I got either one or three (I think I got the last two within the minute, although maybe not).

I came up with snake fairly quickly, then skunk and sloth after a while. I always do poorly at this kind of thing.

I got sheep and sloth within the minute, then squirrel just over the minute. And I know plenty of "s" animals. I wasn't particulary anxious or stressed while doing this, even with the minute limit.
(And now I'm looking at what other people here came up with and going, Oh yeah! And How could I have forgotten THAT?!)

Already knew I've got EFD, but this was an interesting exercise.

I can't believe I didn't think of Snake and Shark and instead thought Sasquatch and Snuffaluffagus.

I tried the test out on my wife and she got onto the 'Sea' word, so then out came Sea-trurtle, Sea-snake, Sea-lion etc etc, but I consider that almost cheating!

I'm somewhat surprised so many people got as few (or even less) as I did in minute.

What exactly does this have to do with executive functiong anyway?

Doesn't it have more to do with processing speed?

I've read that executive functioning depends on processing speed but processing speed doesn't depend on executive functioning.

Anyway....does any one know how NT's usually perform on this?
