How can short exercises help me observe my attention and memory?
How can I test my attention and memory?
Short exercises can describe selected aspects of performance at a particular moment. Here, visual memory, selective attention and response control are observed separately. The results are more useful for comparing your own attempts under similar conditions than for comparing yourself with other people.
How does the visual memory exercise work?
A sequence of cells appears, and you then reproduce it in the same order. The difficulty increases gradually so that accuracy can be observed across several sequences. Two guided practice attempts explain the task first and are not included in the final metrics.
What is a Stroop exercise?
Respond to the displayed colour without automatically following the word. This draws on selective attention and the ability to manage competing information. You can skip the exercise if the colours are not accessible or sufficiently distinct for you.
What is the Go/No-Go task for?
The Go/No-Go task asks you to respond quickly to one signal and hold back your response to another. Omissions, false alarms and median response time are shown separately. If switching tabs interrupts an attempt, restart it to avoid an inconsistent measurement.
Do these exercises measure IQ or high intellectual potential (HPI)?
No. These exercises are not an IQ test, a high intellectual potential (HPI) test or a neuropsychological assessment. Your device, fatigue, distractions, language and understanding of the instructions all affect performance. They produce no clinical percentile or intelligence score.
Frequently asked questions
Questions you may have
Does a low result mean I have an attention disorder?
No. Performance on a single occasion depends on many conditions and cannot identify a disorder. It describes only this attempt.
Can fatigue change my results?
Yes. Sleep, stress, distractions, the device used and the time of day can all affect speed and accuracy.
Can I repeat the exercises to compare my attempts?
Yes. For a more consistent personal comparison, use the same device where possible and choose similar conditions.
Why is the median response time shown?
The median reduces the influence of an exceptionally slow or fast response. It remains a descriptive measure, not a clinical norm.
Can this test detect giftedness or high intellectual potential (HPI)?
No. Identifying giftedness or high intellectual potential (HPI) requires a supervised psychometric assessment with appropriate tools. These mini-games do not serve that purpose.
