re: Test Your Memory
 

This is very cool FD. I'm 33 years old and my scores were 95% for recognition and 73% for temporal memory. Both were above the average :)

re: Test Your Memory
 

Pretty cool test.

I'm 39, scored 100% for recognition, 87% for temporal.

Not too shabby.

Blocked. I'll try it at home.

It kept making me click on the answers twice to input em so I don't know about that 179% haha

re: Test Your Memory
 

100% and 79% I am 38. The easy part was remembering the face the hard was in which group you saw them. For the record i took the 5 minute breaks between each set.

I have always had a great memory especially with numbers, which helps a ton in my job when i have to quote figures in meeting and i don't have the cost data right in front of me.

re: Test Your Memory
 

I've always been good with numbers and faces, remembering names... not so much

I am a horrible speller and it is due to my good memory. If you asked me to sound out a word to spell it I could not do it. Every word I know how to spell is from my memory.

All my spelling test growing up I passed by memory but never learned syllables (I couldn't even spell this word i had to look it up on Google). Right before a test I would take a sharpie and write every word down on a piece of paper really bold then stare at it for like 5 or so minutes. Then when it came test time I would close my eyes or go to my minds eye and see the word written then right it down. That is how I do numbers as well I can see them in my mind if I have worked on a spreadsheet long enough; I have at times even quoted the number and cell it sits in.

My memory drives my wife crazy because if she changes something even small in our house I can see that it is different immediately.

Good god where do you work you are always being blocked? Christ it is the BBC web site what good be wrong with that? You are lucky you get on here.

Re: Test Your Memory
 

I'm 44
91 on if
45 of when.

which seems right, I usually know the if's, but when something happened, usually can't even guess, even if it's a recent occurrence

Lol that's what I'm saying. I work at a car dealership. Unfortunately the IT guy that works here has blocked 95% of all non-work related websites that I know of. I get this, fox sports, msn, and YouTube. That's about it. But I can't visit fox sports or msn because my computer is about 15 years old and the only thing that runs decent on it is the company software. I make do though. If he blocks the 'Path I'll still be able to get on through my phone, so at least there's that.

Re: Test Your Memory
 

100/98, I'm 29.

Thats impressive. How many tries did that take?LOL

Re: Test Your Memory
 

I'm 49 and scored 95/82.

Gonna try it again later tonight and see if I get a different score. I was surprised. I usually suck at memory stuff.

Re: Test Your Memory
 

So far it looks like age does not effect the results but there is not a very wide range of age here on this site.

It's for the techs, a common thing they do when they are working on cars that are unfamiliar to them is to look up a how-to video on Youtube. Thank goodness it serves some purpose LOL, otherwise the rest of us would be screwed out of that too.

100/79/age 23. Surprising, I don't think I have a good memory and occasionally I have trouble remembering faces.
