How could anyone get the glove question wrong?

Asked by CugelTheClueless (1539points) November 30th, 2014

There’s a dating site that uses user-created multiple choice questions to assess compatibility. The questions cover all sorts of topics, and some seem to test general intelligence. One is, “If you turn a left-handed glove inside out, it fits . . .”, and the possible answers are “on my left hand” or “on my right hand.” About half the women in my searches who answer this question get it wrong, and I don’t understand why. It seems one could easily get a glove and try it if there is any doubt. What could be the thought process that leads so many people to choose the wrong answer?
