1. If you were to count to three on your fingers, would you hold up your thumb, index and middle finger, or your index, middle and ring finger?

Index, middle, ring. I know someone who counts backwards: pinky, ring, middle: weird.

2. What was the last thing you remember counting in your home?

How many pills I had left in a prescription.

3. When you are listening to someone who uses repetitious phrases when speaking, such as, “you know,” how many of them do you generally need to hear before you begin subconsciously counting the occurrences?

I don't ever do this. Or, I guess I should say, I've never done this, but I probably will start now! :-)

4. Take the quiz: What is your expression number?

When I did it before, I was a 1. I suspect, since my birth name is still the same, it still is 1, and it still seems to fit.

5. You’re calling a friend on the telephone and he’s not home: assuming he didn’t have voicemail, do you actually count how many rings go by or do you just hang up after a time you feel is sufficient for him to answer?

I never remember to start counting at the first ring, so I never know if I've counted right. I do start counting after two or three rings, though.

6. You go out to eat and you order a plate of twelve chicken wings. Do you actually count them before eating?

No. I'm probably busy listening or talking to whoever it is I'm having dinner with.
