Mental Smells III

Close your eyes and try to recreate the following smells. This exercise helps improve your ability to form concrete impressions from memory, an ability that is one characteristic of creative people.

1. Brussel sprouts
2. A banana
3. Gasoline
4. Pencil shavings
5. Stinky socks

How well did you do at recreating the smells? How long did it take for each smell? Rank your recreation on a scale of 1-10 to how close it was to a real smell. Try to continuously improve.
