100% strangely after the flash I was seeing he negative image for a second after they were gone so the first attempt all were wrong after I realized what was happening I just voted the opposite of what I was seeing.
As to math I am good with numbers.

My basic skills at mathematical calculation are terrible. I often count on my fingers for basic addition and subtraction, and memorizing multiplication tables was beyond me. I often turn numbers around, but can identify identical strings of numbers (like picking out duplicate addresses, or so forth) based on the shapes of the symbols. I'm very good, also, at mentally calculating angles (think bank-shots in pool) and at visualization of three dimensional objects, including projecting two dimensional renderings into three dimensions in my head. It has only been recently that I realized that most people can't take a two dimensional drawing, expand it, then rotate it mentally. I'm not always flawless at this, but I can do it pretty accurately most of the time. I'm a verbal/visual learner.


Isn't it odd that you add and subtract on your finger but you basically are doing subtraction in less that 1 sec when it's presented visually? I mean you're not coming up with an exact value but you are determining that there is more in one group than another, that's basically subtraction. One of each color cancel each other out leaving some from one group with nothing to cancel them out. I wonder if it be easier for you to do arithmetic if you visualized the numbers as groups of dots.

Short attention span so I got bored of playing. I took 101 tests and got 87%


I have always counted on my hands or in my head depending on how small the number is.

I don't get what's so funny. I was expecting the test to stop on it's own and I thought I had to do it all 25 times and times it by 25 that be 625 tests I would have to do before I am through, and I thought "oh forget it" and put down my results.

Maybe I misunderstood perhaps. :?

88%, and I would rate myself as good at basic arithmetic.

I thought you were joking about your attention span being "shot" when you said you did 101 because to me it seems long. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

84%

I'm relatively good at basic arithmetic, although I tend to make wrong guesses at first. I scored 15 on the WAIS arithmetic subtest.

I got 80%. Just to check I repeated the test another 25 tests and got 80% again. My basic math abilities are pretty good though I am much better at algebra than numbers.

Just as another data point I'm not a visual learner and virtually no visualization ability.

My basic arithmetic is very good (got a '1', for my arithmetic 'O' Grade , which is equivalent to an A+).
