Can YOU make it through this brain teaser in under 25 seconds? It takes average IQ person three tries to pronounce the color instead of the word correctly for each

A new brainteaser that challenges you to pronounce the color and not the word reveals just how good your mental coordination is.
The image shows different shades, but the font color of the text does not match the word.
It takes about 25 seconds to successfully complete the brainteaser, but the average person will need three tries before getting the correct solution.

The baffling puzzle, created by contact lens company Lenstore, can cause your brain to go into overdrive as it coordinates your eyes and mouth.
This is because the right hemisphere of your brain tries to pronounce the color, while the left hemisphere insists on pronouncing the word.
Our brains have two sides, or hemispheres, and language skills are usually located in the left side of the brain.
The left side is also in charge of logic, critical thinking, numbers and reasoning. Therefore, you may say the word shown and not the color.
While the right side controls attention, memory, reasoning and problem solving.
That hemisphere is also responsible for recognizing faces, reading emotions, using imagination and appreciating colors.
The right hemisphere of the brain also controls the muscles on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere does the same on the right side of the body.
The mind-boggling puzzle can send your brain into overdrive as it coordinates your eyes and mouth. This is because the right hemisphere of your brain tries to pronounce the color, while the left hemisphere insists on pronouncing the word
Psychologists have theorized that people have either left-brain or right-brain dominance because some individuals prefer one way of thinking over the other.
For example, people who are more logical and analytical are called “left-brained.”
And those who are ‘right brain’ can be more intuitive, creative and subjective.
However, other studies have challenged the theory by showing that there is no one side of government.
In 2013, neuroscientists at the University of Utah debunked this myth by identifying specific networks in the left and right hemispheres of the brain that process lateral functions.
Lateralization of brain function refers to certain mental processes that are specialized in either the left or right hemisphere of the brain.
Over the course of the two-year study, researchers analyzed resting MRI brain scans of 1,011 people between the ages of seven and 29.
By monitoring brain activity, the scientists were able to correlate brain activity in one part of the brain with another.
In each person, they studied the functional lateralization of the brain, measuring 7,000 brain areas and examining which brain areas had more lateralization.
They looked for connections – or all possible combinations of brain regions – and counted the number of connections for each brain region that was left or right lateral.
They found no evidence that individuals use their left or right brain networks more often.
