JUST HOW SMART ARE YOU??



The pheeomnnal pweor of the hmuan mnid:  Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the human mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Smiply amzanig huh?

Here is the paragraph unscrambled: The phenomenal power of the human mind. According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Simply amazing, huh?

**Thanks to crazy mom w 4 boys  for posting this on her blog!**

Personal note:  I don't know if this study was actually done at Cambridge University....some articles that I have read say that this was never done there, but I found it fascinating anyway!!! :)
